I'm noticing a pattern. This thread goes quiet since there is very little to discuss on it.

Then a Kerry poster restarts it again with something not solely related to the original thread, and its all back up for discussion.

Surely a thread about a spitting incident one month ago should be closed by now?

The silence from the CCC is deafening regarding the spitting incident. As my fellow county man said if the boot was on the foot there would be uproar. You cant have different rules for every player. CCC should have made a quick example of the young man involved just like they did with the Galvin referees book incident [6 month ban].

I have often said that if Paul Galvin as a member of an organisation carried a bullying and harrassment case against the GAA he would win hands down, examples of 6 months for ref notebook, booked for getting "man handled" by Ryan Mac up in omagh, several maulings, gouging spitting etc with no protection. It could be very embarrassing for GAA

Horsebox , you obviously don't know what under the law , is the definition of bullying , it has to be premeditated , organised , over a recurring and proven period of time , with intent to cause effect and upset to individual , it Is not a spat , it is not a row , it's not even a fight . Most importantly it must be proven with verified evidence ( not conjecture or opinion ) Now I will grant you that PG has been at times sinned against , and picked upon because of who he is , but Ive worked in this area , the GAA has no case to answer for .

Damonthedub - typical answer from someone who had probably seen Paul play against the dubs or occasionally on tv. If you saw the treatment he gets in almost every game that go's unpunished is a disgrace. I think most people would have no complaints if incidents where treated fairly regardless of who the person - is this is not the case with Paul.

Damothedub: nothing could be further from the truth, qualified bullying and harrassent officer at both club and workplace. I'll quote youy two words: Equality and player wellbeing. Two topics that the GAA pride themselves on....?????

Westkerry of course Ive only seen him on Tv or playing against kerry , much in the same way youve only ever seen tyrone , dublin , sligo , mayo etc etc etc players on TV .
I will put it to you this way
Does Paul Galvin believe hes been bullied ?
Does your county board feel hes bullied ?
Does his club feel hes bullied ?
Does the GAA feel hes been bullied?
No one has ever mentioned him being bullied for a reason , its ludicrous .
The majority of Kerry fans I think will feel he does not get a fair crack of the whip , and as a high profile name comes in for stiffer punishment than some others , but bullying and harrasment give it a rest , thats just being sensationalist .
In reagards to original thread I came out in 100 % support of P Galvin and feel matter should have been handled in a faster swifter manner .

if paul galvin does any of the things that have been done to him this year, this weekend, its guaranteed they will come down on him like a tone of bricks within a week

Paul Galvin got 6 months a good few years back for knocking a notebook out of a referees hand but a young lad gets a 3 match ban for biting. Imagaine if it was the other way around the outcry would be unreal. The CCC rules are a total shambles.

Agree Kerry 74, it is a joke, other sports should be laughing at the GAA. I was just thinking the same thing.

This is what happens when you allow the media to totally dictate and set the agenda regarding discipline. Croke Park have completely capitulated to elements of the media who set the tone now. The GAA follow what the media say now and take their cue from that on discipline; in my opinion the GAA have compromised their independence. I think 6 months for knocking cards/books out of an official's hand is correct, you can't attack an official in any way whatsoever. However I can see why Kerry fans are a bit miffed over 3 games for biting. That should have carried at least a 6 month ban as well.

Ha, ulsterman, you were singing quite a different story in light of joe brolly's pre all ireland final comments last september!

But I agree with you on this, the media seem to have a say, mainly because they are happy for the media to be the ones making the decisions. It takes the responsibility off themselves, and any accompanying criticism...

It's a fair point alright. Although the Dublin player's next eligible game, assuming he loses his appeal, would be In 3 months time. So in reality he is serving 3 months but more to the point and more damaging to him, he will not wear a Dublin jersey until next Jan and the OBC I would think as he won't get back into that Dublin team in the summer. Incidentally how many competitive games did Galvin miss in that 6 months?

I agree that to compare the 2 bans for the incident involving the biting and Paul Galvin's notebook swatting are ridiculous but it goes back to what the charge is for. There is no rules on how to actually punish a biting offence, according to the Irish Times and the Rule 5 (aggressive fouls), category III - 5.11 which states: "To inflict injury recklessly on an opponent by means other than those stated above [kick, stamp, strike]" is what the player in question has been charged with. I can't say what Galvin was officially charged with in 2008 but I'm guessing it fell under a different rule which carried a longer suspension.

why ccc do nothing about the 2 incidents involving galvin and they do something about the biting incident?
