8 weeks for a bite is very very poor from the GAA. I know he's from Dublin, but this is taking the ****. Two months is giving someone a box in a row. A bite is 10 times worse. Ridiculous. waynoI (Dublin) - Posts: 13650 - 23/01/2014 11:31:51 1535534 Link 0 |

And fair play for holding your hands up also on the player thing. And maybe I did go ott on you there and you know what, for that, I apologise to you also. waynoI (Dublin) - Posts: 13650 - 23/01/2014 11:40:18 1535540 Link 0 |
Most Dublin posters have been saying if someone was found guilty or if an offence had taken place they would react, the posts over the last few days and weeks by people have shown how dangerous it is to condemn someone without having the full picture. Wrong people get named and they have to constantly deny it. If this case had of disappeared an innocent person would have been the one who would of always been presumed the guilty party.

Do people think gavin should drop him for the year? Going forward, it would set the right type of precedent, and in fairness he wouldnt be in the championship squad anyway, so it is an ideal situation to get it into guys head that this wont be tolerated by anyone. waynoI (Dublin) - Posts: 13650 - 23/01/2014 11:48:17 1535545 Link 0 |
Absolute joke of a suspension. To put things into context, according to the GAA rulebook there is a 12 week suspension for any individual or unit which fills a cup or trophy with any form of alcoholic beverage... ringo (Wexford) - Posts: 384 - 23/01/2014 11:48:53 1535546 Link 0 |
Yeah Jimbo, he is a nice guy and this was out of character, but I dont think he will get playing time with the Dubs again this year after this incident. Fionn (Dublin) - Posts: 3738 - 23/01/2014 11:53:20 1535550 Link 0 |
This is a game I truly love and to see the people regulating it constantly get things wrong just sickens me to my core. 8 weeks for biting is an absolutely disgraceful sentence for a disgusting act. A teammate of mine received 2 months just for flippin off a referee breakingball22 (Louth) - Posts: 419 - 23/01/2014 11:55:15 1535552 Link 0 |
He's gotten his punishment, so thats the end of it. Obviously the circumstances were taken into account and 8 weeks was decided to be the appropriate sanction. Talk about never letting him play again is nonsense. hurlingdub (Dublin) - Posts: 6978 - 23/01/2014 12:04:08 1535559 Link 0 |
Ha, nevermind the bite, did anyone spot whelan throwing any booze into the sam maguire at any stage? That is where the real action is. TheMaster (Mayo) - Posts: 16187 - 23/01/2014 12:07:03 1535561 Link 0 |
Firstly, i'm very disappointed that a Dublin player has been found guilty of such behaviour, our jersey is proud and has been done a disservice as a result of this. Biting is a despicable act on a field of play. The ban is far too lenient but i'm not at all in favour of setting new rules in an act of petulance. In hindsight, the rules are incorrect and need adjusted, a season long ban would be appropriate, but only after the appropriate avenues for change have been explored. We cannot just say we are horrified, lets ban him for 26 weeks without provision to do so. While many would agree it is not an appropriate way to run an organisation. seany16 (Dublin) - Posts: 1658 - 23/01/2014 12:07:35 1535562 Link 0 |
This is a game I truly love and to see the people regulating it constantly get things wrong just sickens me to my core. 8 weeks for biting is an absolutely disgraceful sentence for a disgusting act. A teammate of mine received 2 months just for flippin off a referee. I also remember an incident a long time ago where a player got a year for biting in my county. I honestly think if Galvin had been the culprit he would get a year. And yet the GAA hop up on their high horse with black cards and cynical play. Give me cynical play any day of the week over this disgusting, animal-like behaviour (and i'm not condoning cynical play btw). Double standards all over the shop. This is a dark day for our game. Also, not Dublin's fault that the sentence was so lenient but I hope they impose their own sanctions on the player! RANT OVER :) breakingball22 (Louth) - Posts: 419 - 23/01/2014 12:11:10 1535563 Link 0 |
The Irish Independent more or less named a different player a number of weeks ago, and it was widely assumed that that player was the culprit. BlastCalyle (Mayo) - Posts: 206 - 23/01/2014 12:19:55 1535570 Link 0 |
Wayno, all good my friend. All good. I got your back :) Liamwalkinstown (Dublin) - Posts: 8166 - 23/01/2014 12:27:45 1535574 Link 0 |
In this case, Liam was correct to call out any Dublin poster who identified a player, is was the correct thing to do as the worst case scenario occurred in that the wrong player was named. I think a lesson for all was learned here. Use your anonymity on a popular forum wisely. waynoI (Dublin) - Posts: 13650 - 23/01/2014 12:28:00 1535575 Link 0 |

No, I think after what happened previously brought this to a swift conclusion. Fionn (Dublin) - Posts: 3738 - 23/01/2014 12:33:59 1535579 Link 0 |
8 Weeks is a joke. The young lad will no doubt learn his lesson from this biting incident. I would imagine the young man feels dreadful about this but look if that's the worst crime in the world then god help us. There's a lot worse people out there doing dreadful crimes. Lets give the lad time to repent and see how he responds to this incident. It might make him a better and stronger young man in time. Some of the stuff written is way O.T.T.. Some folk get a buzz out of these threads i reckon. kerry74 (Kerry) - Posts: 1354 - 23/01/2014 12:41:42 1535583 Link 0 |
Ah jimbo, cyberbullying, FFS, that's taking it a bit far. Wayno and Liam have never seen eye to eye on things and both are well able to talk for themselves. I've seen much worse personal shots on this thing or pieces that could be construed as cyber bullying than the recent tete-a-tete Liam and Wayno have had. No need for you to turn this into something more. NavyNBlue (Dublin) - Posts: 1357 - 23/01/2014 12:45:23 1535585 Link 0 |
