Any word on his ban? Fewpucks24 (Galway) - Posts: 124 - 22/05/2018 23:32:10 2103158 Link
Haven't heard anything but it has to be atleast 3 months, it was bad witnof (Dublin) - Posts: 1604 - 23/05/2018 10:33:22 2103209 Link
Replying To witnof: "Haven't heard anything but it has to be atleast 3 months, it was bad" How do you arrive at 3 months?? These are game based suspensions now and if reported for striking he will get 1 game and if reported for inflicting an injury recklessly he will get 2 games. This is increased if he has been reported for the same infraction in the last year. Torcaill (Australia) - Posts: 204 - 23/05/2018 11:44:16 2103231 Link
Game based bans make more sense of course. The fact Mayo are now on a roundabout route to the latter stages means the ban will be less of a disadvantage than if he got 3 months providing Mayo don't loose of course. More games in short space of time will see him back probably by end of June. Gas when you think that you can practically knock an opponent unconscious now and be back relatively shortly afterwards than if you hit an umpire with a ball under. catch22 (USA) - Posts: 2148 - 23/05/2018 12:01:15 2103233 Link

Was he sent off 2 games in a row? Liamwalkinstown (Dublin) - Posts: 8166 - 23/05/2018 12:16:17 2103240 Link
AFAIK a strike is only a one match ban. That's all he should get because that's the rules. There's an argument to be had about the rules maybe but not about Diarmuid's suspension. MesAmis (Dublin) - Posts: 13718 - 23/05/2018 12:27:07 2103244 Link
Replying To MesAmis: "AFAIK a strike is only a one match ban. That's all he should get because that's the rules. There's an argument to be had about the rules maybe but not about Diarmuid's suspension." The minimum suspension for a strike is a 1 game ban, there is nothing in the rules stopping them from extending that ban if they feel it merits a longer suspension. The fact we have heard nothing since probably means he has only got a 1 game ban and he is very lucky if that is the case. Does anyone know how Paul Conroy is after it, hopefully it was just stitches needed and there was no break? Soma (UK) - Posts: 2630 - 23/05/2018 12:42:08 2103253 Link

It was thuggish thing to do. MesAmis (Dublin) - Posts: 13718 - 23/05/2018 13:11:45 2103259 Link
How many games did McNulty get for Tyrone for his challenge on Keegan was it 1 or 2 games ? DOC challenge is in the same bracket as that challenge so he should get same punishment as him Galwayjoe86 (Galway) - Posts: 258 - 23/05/2018 13:39:35 2103267 Link
Replying To Galwayjoe86: "How many games did McNulty get for Tyrone for his challenge on Keegan was it 1 or 2 games ? DOC challenge is in the same bracket as that challenge so he should get same punishment as him" Actually just seen McNulty got a 1 game ban for that ,that challenge was disgraceful and dangerous just like DOC challenge , 1 game ban is sufficient under the gaa rules Galwayjoe86 (Galway) - Posts: 258 - 23/05/2018 13:44:54 2103273 Link
It was a poor challenge but I would think he will get a one game ban just like every other player does when they strike an opponent. He has to be treated the same as everyone else. The player himself just needs to calm down, think he can be a great footballer but needs to be more disciplined. Green_Gold (Donegal) - Posts: 1876 - 23/05/2018 13:56:02 2103277 Link
wont he get a longer ban due to it being his second red in a month? Either way if I was a Mayo fan it wouldn't bother me Liamwalkinstown (Dublin) - Posts: 8166 - 23/05/2018 14:23:27 2103282 Link

Replying To Galwayjoe86: "2nd red in a month ?" werent the 2 O'Connors sent off V Galway in the league? Maybe its more than a month Liamwalkinstown (Dublin) - Posts: 8166 - 23/05/2018 15:45:07 2103312 Link
Replying To Liamwalkinstown: "werent the 2 O'Connors sent off V Galway in the league? Maybe its more than a month" Oh ya they were I forgot about that ,that was back in early Feb Galwayjoe86 (Galway) - Posts: 258 - 23/05/2018 15:59:44 2103315 Link
Its actually if youre sent of twice in a season your ban get doubled... beidhmeanseo (Donegal) - Posts: 137 - 23/05/2018 16:03:56 2103317 Link
Replying To Fewpucks24: "Any word on his ban?" I'm told its a two month man. LeftHalfBack10 (Mayo) - Posts: 30 - 23/05/2018 16:20:12 2103326 Link

The fact we have heard nothing since probably means he has only got a 1 game ban and he is very lucky if that is the case. Does anyone know how Paul Conroy is after it, hopefully it was just stitches needed and there was no break?" Not totally correct. Croke Park have to act on the refs report and if the refs reports a player for a certain infraction, then that is what he has to be suspended for. They cannot turn around and ignore the report and come up with a different infraction to suspend him with. If he was not reported by the ref, then they can use whatever infraction they want.

Replying To beidhmeanseo: "Its actually if youre sent of twice in a season your ban get doubled..." Again not totally correct. You have to be sent off for a repeat of the same infraction to have your suspension doubled. "Repeat Infraction" in the Section of Rule above means a second or subsequent occurrence of any Misconduct at Games by Players Infraction in the same Category within a 48-week period (or 96 week period in the case of a Category VI Infraction). In relation to Categories I, III and IV, only an Infraction committed in the same Code and at the same Level as the previous occurrence shall constitute a Repeat Infraction. In relation to Categories V and VI, a second occurrence shall constitute a Repeat Infraction irrespective of the Code or Level of the previous occurrence. Diarmuid was sent off on a double yellow in the league and that is a different infraction so doubling the suspension is not permitted in this instance.
