Gerry adams had to make many statements including his brother so bad argument . Back to the G.P.A they should have made a statement saying this is wrong saying they try to get involved in everything else. Now fair play is what it is about . PS derry posters am not listening because yous cant debate .

Adams made statements about his brother because his niece made allegations that he had covered it up. It was nothing to do with his membership of Sinn Féin, it was because it's a family member.

There must be a serious logic vacuum in your head if you can't see the difference

why during an Omagh vs Ardboe game due to mass brawl that lasted 5 min players involved only got slapped with a 4 wk ban, where as Paddy Bradley got a similar 4 wk ban for verbal abuse. Throw the book at those Tyrone players, ban them for longer lol

I'd take a life ban to slap a boy from west Tyrone to be honest!!! Jokes but you cant ever strike a referee.

You might not know the rules but striking and verbal abuse is a month each which i think verbal towards a ref should be longer , now you only mentioned the verbal on the ref why not the 48 week that the eoin boy got for his actions ? hmmm

Afraid to say but if you want to hit referees and behave like a thug then play Irish League soccer or something similar. The GAA has no place for this. Life ban. Sad day for Derry football.

i have mentioned skinner bradleys ban on a previous post, i agree that it is the right course of acton to ban him for a year its just not on to lay hands on the ref and derry's county board have made the right call, and skinner will have a long time to think about what he's done. Although it seems you would like a longer ban any time a derry player is envolved, i dont see you commenting on what happened between Omagh and Ardboe, the same lenght of ban for striking as verbal abuse somethings not right about that rule!

I'm fully aware that Liam Adams was a member of SF, but as usual you are missing the point.

Did Gerry comment because Liam was a member of SF, or because he was Gerry's brother?

Put it this way, would Gerry have commented on the matter if was an ordinary grass-roots member who had never met, or dealt with Gerry?

I will try again verbal and striking comes with the same offence even though i think abusing a ref should be longer bans , now if you want to start a thread on the omagh thing go ahead but the derry player was wrong and deserved longer

Yes i know he has not answered it weered92 so run along there now and be quiet.



Dell is a referee and the above statement, from a referee like Sludden or whatever, could have serious repercussions at Croke Park, or in a club match.

I think refs need to be able to communicate with the players, rather than appear to be aloof.

And on the subject of the ban, if he hit a referee he should have been banned for years.

Was at a club game down in Greenlough yesterday, a team in their first semi final in ten years were 5 points up in injury times, despite the other team having 2 points given which which were clear wides, they also has a goal in injury time which was a square ball. I don't condone violence, but when a referee can make mistakes like this in a match is it any wonder people feel the urge to attack them, Never seen anything like it in my life.

Attacking a referee shouldn't be condoned for any reason, but I do think it's time the GAA put more thought into the training of referees, and also made it possible where an aggrieved team would be given a hearing and the points put to the referee in question. If the referee cannot give satisfactory answers, then he should not be used again.
Being a referee is a very demanding job and it would help if some of the rules that cause confusion and annoyance were rectified - the "hand pass", for example. Either allow the ball to be thrown or outlaw the hand pass altogether. I have seen practice matches where this was employed with a view to encouraging skill with the stick. In the event of a player being surrounded, the ball can be dropped and flicked away on the ground. I also think that introducing cards was the biggest mistake the GAA ever made. Before their introduction, If a player fouled, there was a free given against him and that was the end of it. If he struck another player, he was sent off. If a player pulled and dragged incessantly, he was warned by the referee and if he offended after that, he was sent off. Now we have "note taking" and bookings, and black books, and yellow cards and red cards.
I'm not sure if there is an advantage rule in GAA. I thought I read it at one time, but I haven't been able to find it lately. However I think there should be no advantage played. If a player is fouled, he has been fouled, so give him a free. Sometimes the advantage turns out to not be an advantage, after all, and the referee is blamed for not giving the free. If the advantage results in a score, the other team criticizes the referee for letting him take too many steps. The advantage is very often not an advantage, anyway, because a quick tug of a jersey can put a player off and make him miss his chance. Most back lines now are very aware of this and take full advantage of it.
Finally, the greatest obstacle to reforming referees is their boss, Michael Curley. I have read articles often enough in programs and heard his utterances on radio and television to know that he feel that no one has the right to question a referee and that a referee is always in full possession of the rules, and that a referee is such a perfect person that he can't ever be annoyed by players. With an attitude like that, there will never be any reform.
