Has to be. And if not, why not?? Liamwalkinstown (Dublin) - Posts: 8166 - 10/07/2017 11:32:54 2013850 Link
Replying To Liamwalkinstown: "Has to be. And if not, why not??" Because he's Cody...... Condorman (Dublin) - Posts: 983 - 10/07/2017 11:51:51 2013875 Link
Don't want to see the Great man suspended, but as Connolly got that ban the GAA are now in a dilemma. Fair is fair. I'll say it again - Connolly's ban was a joke. Ya it is in the rules but he didn't injure anyone and it was just crazy to see one of the best players banned for the summer. slayer (Limerick) - Posts: 6480 - 10/07/2017 11:51:55 2013876 Link
Replying To Liamwalkinstown: "Has to be. And if not, why not??" Doesn't really matter. Kilkenny are out! So he's hardly bothered is he? Inaroundehouse (Cavan) - Posts: 975 - 10/07/2017 12:02:08 2013887 Link
Replying To Liamwalkinstown: "Has to be. And if not, why not??" He won't get a ban imo. The reason being it doesn't fit the narrative. MesAmis (Dublin) - Posts: 13705 - 10/07/2017 12:42:43 2013929 Link
Replying To Inaroundehouse: "Doesn't really matter. Kilkenny are out! So he's hardly bothered is he?" That is not the point. If there is no action against Brian Cody, it means there is inconsistency in applying the rule. Diarmuid Connolly gets twelve weeks for a push on an official and Brian Cody gets no sanction for a push on an official. The twelve weeks Diarmuid Connolly got was too severe. fainleog (Limerick) - Posts: 598 - 10/07/2017 13:05:52 2013967 Link

He probably will get banned but is he really bothered? He won't be appealing it . Inaroundehouse (Cavan) - Posts: 975 - 10/07/2017 13:18:59 2013987 Link

Replying To MesAmis: "He won't get a ban imo. The reason being it doesn't fit the narrative." He wont get a ban because Hurling deal with things differently. They let the game flow with big hits going in and no flashing on black, red, yellow, blue and every other bloody colour of cards. Hurling refuses to let the black card into their game (and rightly so). Just because the football fraternity in central council want to ruin the game by adding new rules and extra cards doesn't mean hurling will follow suit. It was a nothing really let's face it. In fact, the linesman approached Cody and both invited contact. But it was nothing. DooReg (Armagh) - Posts: 33 - 10/07/2017 14:05:21 2014062 Link
Yeah, I was just thinking that we needed a second thread on this subject. ballydalane (Kilkenny) - Posts: 1246 - 10/07/2017 14:28:07 2014100 Link

CCC cover both codes same body and yes he deserved a ban and hurling has got very cynical this year lads been dragged down Dellboypolecat (Tyrone) - Posts: 15069 - 10/07/2017 16:40:20 2014267 Link
Maybe it's time for Brian Cody to pack it in before he starts picking up bans. It's becoming almost normal now that he wants to get physically involved with the opposition manager. It would be a pity if he spoiled a fantastic management record. neverright (Roscommon) - Posts: 1648 - 10/07/2017 17:55:40 2014331 Link

Picking up a 12 week ban for Saturday evening's bit of a heated exchange tarnish his record?? Are you for real? 11 All Irelands in 19 years and people will say 'ah no a 4th official once had to come between him and Derek McGrath in a qualifier in 2017... Shur didn't Cody put his hands on him..those all-irelands are worthless now.' A statement ridiculous beyond comprehension. Laois76 (Laois) - Posts: 1270 - 10/07/2017 20:06:39 2014437 Link
Replying To Liamwalkinstown: "Has to be. And if not, why not??" Liam and Condor Legion et al. Yes he should receive the 12 week ban. He broke the rule just like Connolly. But in Kilkenny we won't moan about it like some in Dublin. We'll be focusing on getting back into the hurling elite, working on our underage and checking out the club scene. We won't be bawling and feeling victimised and put upon like the whingefest from the capital. Many congrats to Waterford. Hugely deserved and all true hurling fans will wissh them well. Great to see Cork back too. KK1926 (Kilkenny) - Posts: 175 - 10/07/2017 20:12:04 2014443 Link

The Connolly comparison is irrelevant, he put his hand on the linesman and in fairness to the guy took his punishment. Take a look at what Louth's Ryan burns got 12 weeks for. The ball went wide, he followed it out of play and kicked it back towards the opposition goal for a kick out. A perfect example of proper sportsmanship. The ball hit the umpire from about 20 yds, Burns was given a straight red and given a 12 week ban for his trouble. If Cody laid a finger on any official he must get the same treatment. optimist (Louth) - Posts: 175 - 10/07/2017 20:23:40 2014453 Link
not a 12 week ban in anyway, Cody was trying to dodge the linesman who was in his face. Not similar to Connolly situation. suckvalleypaddy (Galway) - Posts: 1667 - 10/07/2017 20:29:59 2014458 Link

That's the argument I'd be putting forward if I was Burns, but come on man. .it looks fairly obvious that he meant it! cavanman47 (Cavan) - Posts: 5010 - 10/07/2017 21:04:42 2014484 Link
