564625 As a fair and honest player I would much prefer to play in a match against opponents who knew video evidence could be used against them after the game to suspend them if they cheat and kick me when I'm on the ground, punch me when the referee is not looking etc.. Tyrone should count themselves extremely lucky that their players have been afforded this protection in the national league so far, instead they are crying about it. Why are they protesting so much?

Nocky are you willfully ignoring the real issue here? There have been umpteen instances of unpunished foul play seen at league matches so far this year. Where are the majority of suspensions?

IN TYRONE

It could not be more obvious.

THE DISCIPLINARY SYSTEM IS UNFAIR

Everyone says they are a fair and honest player and most are, surprisingly enough that is the same for players in every part of the country wexford, tyrone, cavan etc. You seem to be assuming people expect to get away with foul play. No they don't.

Everybody wants a clean, sporting, fair game, but it seems not everybody wants a fair disciplinary system.

Breffni, numerous Tyrone posters have been on here complaining about the fact that video evidence has been used retrospectively in games involving their team which it has led to bans for some of their players. They are not the only county whose players have been punished, and tomorrow more players will be punished for their transgressions, not all of them from Tyrone.

The feeling among Tyrone people seems to be that playing under the scrutiny of the TV cameras is somehow a disadvantage. They complain vociferously that the system is unfair on their team, and that teams in lower divisions are at an advantage, when I would argue that the opposite is the case.

Galvin and O'sullivan didnt get banned from the match the week before and that is the match what I am talking abour were Galvin made a wind at the ref and O"Sullivan pushed another player into a conrete post
WHY???
No one seems to be able to answer this??

So lets compare it to the Tyrone game both live, both high profile games on the same weekend all incidents bar one (justin McMahon) deserved a suspension. But Tyrone end up with 3 one of which they dont deserve, Derry with 1 although Bradly should have got more, and Kerry with none.

This is pure prejustice by the GAA

Ban all or ban none

Look we all know that, at the minute, multiple cameras at all games is not possible. Surely catching the offenders it is possible to catch is better than none at all. You can be sure that if the gaa decided to not punish anyone through video evidence then off the ball incidents would increase three-fold. What people are suggesting is basically cut off ur nose to spite ur face

TheMaster

So why ban one county with cameras at there games and not the rest ?

Should it not be accross the board banning players?

The Master I agree completely I am not even talking about the games that there are no cameras at I am talking about banning all players that are caught on camera and it is only happening with one county at the minute adn that is Tyrone!

Again I ask the question:

Why were Galvin and o'Sullivan not banned for their offences against Dublin??

Joe, I agree with that. TV evidence for all games or for no games!

After todays disgraceful decision today by the CCCC regarding Joe McMahon I again ask why Tyrone players are being targetted by refs and the authorities evn when they are proved innocent when other players get off when they are shown to be clearly guilty

Ah Omagh Joe, please. He didnt get his red card rescinded because he punched the mayo player. I know there was f all force behind it but, c'mon, we all know the rules. It has nothing whatsoever to do with being from Tyrone.

As it happens, certain Tyrone people were on here iving out about Ronaldson's part in that incident and that nothing had been done. Well the CCCC have also used video evidence on him and have recommended a ban. Mayo and Ronaldson have nothing to complain about. And lo and behold, there are no Mayo posters on here complaining.

If it is fair then why did he Diarmuid Marsden get his red card rescinded for a similar incident, actually Marsden was much more at fault.
Why?

And also why did Miskella get off for punching Brian McGuigan

Also Why did all your county men get off, O'Sullivan for pushing a man into a concrete post, Galvin for having a wind at a ref again, and Kenelly for admitting he intentionall went out to hurt a player?

Why was Justin McMahn banned for breaking up an assault on his team mate and restraing the assaliant?

I ahve no problem with playrs getting banned on th back of video evidence but why did the above incident go unchecked and why do players get banned when the video evidence clearly show that they are innocent?
Why?

I call it being treated like other counties.

Tyrone are getting a raw deal. They are no dirtier than any other team in the country. The disiplinery system is a bad joke. Morgan oflaherty gets 8 weeks on a case of mistaken identity. Joke! It's widely known he did nothing but the cccp or whatever it's called think somebody has to get punished. Why weren't there any Laois players banned for 8 weeks? There were punches and kicks thrown from both sides. I also felt sorry for Galvin lately. The wrong players are getting banned and others are getting away with it. It's so inconsistent.

I think the game needs to toughen up a bit to be honest and I don't mean in relation to dragging, pulling and boxing.
The shoulder needs to be give a bit more rope. It's not used anymore because refs constantly blow it up.
I think a fair shoulder to shoulder should be allowed at any stage during the game so long as a player has the ball or two players are side by side going for the same ball.
It's definitely going to be better than looking at dragging and pulling.
