Lilypad I have to agree, if I felt threatened or uncomfortable with how I was being pinned to the ground I would bite the transgressor if I thought it would get them off me. In a hurling match once a fella was on top of me with his forearm and full weight pressing on my windpipe and genuine fear crept in. I kneed my opponent in the privates which in normal circumstances is fairly cowardly but I didn't think that at the time, I just wanted him off me frankbhoy77 (Antrim) - Posts: 1300 - 24/01/2014 20:06:03 1536296 Link 0 |
Three different people said to me that he was in a head lock and bit to get out(doesn't mean he was in a headlock ) , but if he was its still wrong and inexcusable if that was the case, but he owned up got his punishment and its accepted. time to move on .

nothing cowardly about that frankbhoy, you were right. lilypad (Kildare) - Posts: 1363 - 24/01/2014 21:16:44 1536327 Link 0 |
yes athcliath i think under the circumstances Gavin and co didnt want to be seen to defend a player who bit someone but at the same time probably understood why he did it. im sure Gavin had this talk with Whelan and they both agreed reluctantly that it was best to take the sting and move on. lilypad (Kildare) - Posts: 1363 - 24/01/2014 21:20:10 1536330 Link 0 |
I have to say lilypad that your post could actually be quite insightful and I suppose I never really thought about it like that in my haste to distance myself from such behaviour. realdub (Dublin) - Posts: 8596 - 24/01/2014 21:25:45 1536333 Link 0 |

He's been punished jimbodub (Dublin) - Posts: 20600 - 25/01/2014 14:00:02 1536432 Link 0 |
'has been applauded' for accepting his punishment, God almighty... RebelCork (Cork) - Posts: 789 - 25/01/2014 14:09:44 1536433 Link 0 |
Makes you think... perhaps players that are sticking their arms around a players neck, pushing their arms into another players throat in an aggressive manner causing pain and maybe even panic... jimbodub (Dublin) - Posts: 20600 - 25/01/2014 14:12:53 1536434 Link 0 |
