Insufficient evidence suggests that there is no conclusive video footage of O Gara in the act of biting Mickey Bourke. Therefore, as the biting incident could not be proven by video evidence alone, it comes down to the testimony of the individuals involved. The only way to prove that there was an actual bite, would entail O Gara admitting that he did bite Mickey Bourke. bryanadams (Kildare) - Posts: 733 - 23/07/2014 10:23:22 1624641 Link 0 |

Regardless of the matter, would the Dublin people stop pedaling the argument that you can't bite with a gum shield. Unless you only have teeth on you top jaw in Dublin, this is a non argument. jamesjoyce (Derry) - Posts: 126 - 23/07/2014 11:26:13 1624680 Link 0 |

To be honest,I don't think this would done Meaths preparations any good if this had lingered on,even if O'Gara was guilty ziggy320001 (Meath) - Posts: 2432 - 23/07/2014 11:55:11 1624706 Link 0 |
On a different topic, does anyone else think that Armagh are the perfect team for Meath to face now? No doubt they'll be hurting after Sunday and will want to physically impose themselves in this game as they didn't show any intensity or any of the characteristics of Meath teams you'd usually see in a Leinster final. Armagh are big boys and will be able to take it, I for one think this could be a very tasty game. Not in a dirty way but 2 teams that just want to go at it and get stuck in NavyNBlue (Dublin) - Posts: 1357 - 23/07/2014 12:00:26 1624710 Link 0 |
Hill16 I know the point you're trying to make about the ref dealing with it but you're wrong. He dealt with the melee, but not with the bite/fishhook/whatever it was. So the GAA CAN review that incident square_ball_69 (Westmeath) - Posts: 826 - 23/07/2014 12:44:11 1624733 Link 0 |

Ignoring the biting or whatever, is the actual brawl being investigated? Breffni40 (Cavan) - Posts: 12122 - 23/07/2014 16:33:18 1624881 Link 0 |
Insufficient evidence ,what does that mean ? Does that mean there is some evidence but just not enough to bring charges? KingdomBoy1 (Kerry) - Posts: 14092 - 23/07/2014 17:25:47 1624915 Link 0 |

Big brush and carpet come to mind again. Everybody and his brother knows there was a bite but sure it's grand it didn't break skin, sure didn't he deserve it anyway, sure shouldn't Meath have stood up for themselves before this, sure didn't O'Gara show great restraint in the circumstances, sure doesn't it show how Meath have fallen by mentioning it. This and other petty excuses and mixed messages from commentators and officials coming again soon. By the way not anti Dub. Don't care who was involved. The way we deal with incidents like this and then spout about how great our games are in relation to honour,sportsmanship, manliness,respect, blah, blah, blah compared to others is laughable.

What about the melee, is it brushed under the carpet ? sam1884 (UK) - Posts: 999 - 24/07/2014 10:23:00 1625125 Link 0 |

Ok Hill if thats the route we are going down then surely MDMC needs to be investigated for taking out a Meath player, Connolly for getting a Meath player in a headlock, O'Gara for throwing the head into Reilly, Reilly for throwing punches back, Burke for throwing punches & Tormey for Throwing punches?? chriscart580 (Meath) - Posts: 376 - 24/07/2014 10:37:55 1625130 Link 0 |
