Paul Galvin proves his worth from his website comments...... pity mulligan could not be so gracious cacsmckilly (Tyrone) - Posts: 1294 - 13/03/2013 08:47:27 1348471 Link 0 |
I have a lot of time for Galvin.Of course he is never far from the headlines and has had plenty of bad publicity over the years but you don't ever hear about the other side of him.When Brian McGuigan was recovering from his serious eye injury a few years ago,Galvin sent him a signed Kerry jersey.A fantastic gesture that Paul didn't have to do but one that Brian really appreciated.But of course these stories never see the time of day. orange and blue (Tyrone) - Posts: 1080 - 13/03/2013 09:01:14 1348477 Link 0 |
I have to laugh at people here who think secterian abuse can't be directed at a cathoilc from another catholic, sure didn't Sheehan get in bother last year when he was at it against Armagh. I have played against Southern teams before and been called loads of secterian things, didn't bother me in the slightest much in the same way as when playing a game in my own County if someone gives me stick in relation to my family or how I look. I let the person slabber on. Thats not to say that some people are more volatile and do react, and whilst you can't qualify spitting against verbals, why does it seem to be acceptable now to try and 'be the bigger person' when in situations like this? I wouldn't spit on somebody myself irrelevant of the abuse, but in that situation I don't see how anyone can condemn the spitting if the person spat at was being abusive. Verbal abuse is serious enough to land you in prison if its focused on a persons skin colour, why should it be seen as acceptable when its in other forms (mother, sister, looks, weight etc), as these contain as much hatred and offense. geoff (Tyrone) - Posts: 377 - 13/03/2013 09:21:12 1348489 Link 0 |
Fair play, is often centre of attention himself and maybe he has learned not to retaliate all the time. Kind of shows you the mentality and i'd go as far to say tactics of tyrone football.. That player was looking for a reaction and im glad he's found out for the 'kind of person' he really is.... 81DLSAM (Donegal) - Posts: 281 - 13/03/2013 09:31:16 1348495 Link 0 |
Theres a lot more class to Galvin than there is to Mulligan, no doubt about that. Jinxie (Meath) - Posts: 6347 - 13/03/2013 09:32:39 1348498 Link 0 |
On another note, this is the second time in a year that a Kerry club haven't been able to take their beating at the hand of a Tyrone club. MuckrossHead (Donegal) - Posts: 5028 - 13/03/2013 09:47:52 1348512 Link 0 |

Spitting is disgusting, absolutely disgusting; as a Tyrone supporter there can be no other stance. Gael01 (Tyrone) - Posts: 74 - 13/03/2013 10:16:07 1348540 Link 0 |

Distressing & all as this spitting stuff is it reminded me of an incident many years ago which was, for me, the greatest handling of mouthing I ever saw. MuckrossHead (Donegal) - Posts: 5028 - 13/03/2013 10:50:47 1348579 Link 0 |
The only people on here that are ignorant are those who honestly believe that it wasn't a Finuge player/representative who has released this footage with some sort of hidden agenda to put forward another excuse of the savage behaviour of the Tyrone team that was the main reason they won and Finuge lost. It was the same last year. geoff (Tyrone) - Posts: 377 - 13/03/2013 11:26:21 1348617 Link 0 |

Geoff - regardless of who, what, where, how or why the footage was released, it was, and it clearly shows what happened. Judging by your argument, had Cookstown lost the game, this would have been released as another means of gloating by the victorious team. What a pile of sh1te. There is absolutely no place for spiting on someone else in any society or sport, nevermind the GAA. The player/culprit deserves to be severely punished for what he did and should be man enough to face the music himself rather than other players/supporters trying to defend his actions. To see Tyrone people trying to defend and deflect this is very very disappointing. EnolaGay (Tyrone) - Posts: 653 - 13/03/2013 11:36:38 1348628 Link 0 |
