I heard Brian Cody being interviewed earlier and he seemed to be insinuating that when Joe Lyng was sent off that "nobody was injured" was the only thing that mattered. Is that really a defence to such an incident? perfect10 (Wexford) - Posts: 3929 - 23/02/2015 21:04:57 1696152 Link 0 |
It was a sickening belt and the dublin player was lucky not to be badly hurt. Lyng will miss one match and all is forgiven. Puts Andrew Shores suspension in perspective. the_post (USA) - Posts: 184 - 23/02/2015 21:30:30 1696163 Link 0 |
Clearly if you read the article properly you would see he was talking about the first red card which wasn't a red in my opinion and not the second red card which was correct. Ye need to remove ye're Cody hating goggles lads. Faithfull (Offaly) - Posts: 573 - 23/02/2015 21:45:28 1696177 Link 0 |
I do admire Cody and the Cats and don't regard them as the terrible monsters some do, but Perfect makes some reasonable points. Some commentators are clearly intimidated by Big Brian. Watching the highlights one of the commentators said something to the effect that Lyng was clearly going for the ball! He clearly was not. Or if he was he ought perhaps pay heed to that well known ad for glasses! Now, neither your own nor my own nor any others tog out 15 angels Perfect as we well know! But I have never heard anyone as you say make excuses for them! hurlingdub (Dublin) - Posts: 6978 - 23/02/2015 21:53:07 1696183 Link 0 |
I don't think anyone can deny that Kilkenny's style tests the rule book jimbodub (Dublin) - Posts: 20587 - 23/02/2015 21:56:05 1696186 Link 0 |
first one was a yellow at most, second one was very dangerous and deserves a ban. he even broke a bit of his hurley off when he connected with the dublin players head hurlingexpert (Clare) - Posts: 1941 - 23/02/2015 21:59:32 1696191 Link 0 |

Fair play lads you swear butter wouldn't melt in any of your county players mouth lads are on here about the two sending offs about what Cody allegedly said. I see nobody mentioned about the swinging back of the hurl by Liam Rushe caought Paul Murphy under the eye with the but of the hurl, also the Dublin full back was fouling jj Farrell every time the ball came down to him the umpires saw nothing when it suits like the injury Conner Fogarty picked up the week before no body saw that. I would also like to jog peples memory about the horrific injury Michael Rice, Tj Reid got a couple of years ago what santions were issued out to there two culprits, what insult to Michael Rice that the tipp player was out on the field at half time in the all Ireland 2012. johnwhite12 (Kilkenny) - Posts: 306 - 24/02/2015 08:32:56 1696195 Link 0 |
Firstly, I think the first red card was not a red. The second one was. I dont know what the starter of this thread is referring to, but I heard Cody on Radio 1 yesterday on the way home and he appeared to be saying that "nobody was injured" meant neither should have been sent off? I am not 100% on this but I will listen again and confirm. Pinkie (Wexford) - Posts: 4100 - 24/02/2015 08:52:10 1696199 Link 0 |
jimbodub you've some neck on you with that post. Anyone with any sense of rationality who was at the game on Sunday and any games between Dublin and Kilkenny in recent years would acknowledge that Dublin have been the more physical of the two teams (particularly during the Dublin team's 'body building phase') and more than willing exponents of the type of tackling that you attribute to being solely Kilkenny traits. A few years ago there may have been some argument that Kilkenny were the most guilty of these tactics, but this simply does not stand up anymore. Take any offence, be it any of the tired cliches such as "hurl in face, grabbing arms, grabbing hands" that you mention, or out and out dirt and give me an example of Kilkenny players doing it and I'll give your five more of players of other counties doing the same and much worse. Posters like you are more than happy for Dublin to lap up the laudits for 'out Kilkenny-ing Kilkenny', 'beating them at their own game' etc. when it suits, but then fail to see the hypocrisy in the posts like you've made on this topic Heftydickonem (Kilkenny) - Posts: 175 - 24/02/2015 10:22:07 1696231 Link 0 |
Cody was referring to John Jo Farrels sending off.Seemed harsh to me.Once again its the inconsistency of our referees that has us scratching our heads.Kilkenny are not a dirty team.However the 2nd Kilkenny red was a wild pull and he deserved his marching orders. cuederocket (Dublin) - Posts: 5084 - 24/02/2015 10:48:07 1696239 Link 0 |
At the weekend, Kilkenny had one man unfairly dismissed and another correctly dismissed and will receive the appropriate punishment. Cork had Horgan escape without punishment for a striking offence that cannot be labelled as anything but dirt, Bubbles O'Dwyer was lucky to not get the line for Tipperary and the previous weekend a Cork player broke Conor Fogarty's shin off the ball. I had a search of the forum but I cannot find the faux outrage following those incidents, strange bennybunny (Cork) - Posts: 3917 - 24/02/2015 12:06:09 1696259 Link 0 |
Pat Horgan, too nice? I've heard it all now, Bennybunny ;) But yeah, you're right in that he cannot be considered a dirty player. Too skillful for that. MiAmigaVERONICA (Clare) - Posts: 295 - 24/02/2015 12:24:50 1696269 Link 0 |
Bennybunny, no where in that sentence do I say that Horgan is a dirty player, and you know it. I referred to the offence itself, was it not a dirty stroke?. Anyway we heard all about how Horgan is not a dirty player, not in his nature etc. when he had his red card for striking Paudie O'Brien opponent's head with the hurl rescinded in 2013 Heftydickonem (Kilkenny) - Posts: 175 - 24/02/2015 12:32:38 1696275 Link 0 |
So I listened back to the interview I heard, I dont know if it is the same as the one referred to in the first post but the interview is cut in such a way that it doesnt really make out that he's only referring to the first red card.

I find this thread interesting as I was in Thurles on Sunday, after the Bubbles O'Dwyer incident, the ref called in his linesman. Joe_Bloggs (Tipperary) - Posts: 186 - 24/02/2015 13:29:39 1696297 Link 0 |
In fairness Pinkie, I do think he was referring to the first rather than the second red. I heard the original interview. His body language when Lyng walked past him on his way off did not suggest approval either! hurlingdub (Dublin) - Posts: 6978 - 24/02/2015 13:41:15 1696307 Link 0 |
Ballsology, Kilkenny are where they are today not because the GAA or CCCC bow to them but because they are brilliant, end of. First red was harsh but possibly technically correct and the second spoke for itself, Sutcliffe also deserved to go, what's the big deal? realdub (Dublin) - Posts: 8571 - 24/02/2015 13:46:27 1696312 Link 0 |
Same old thing when anyone criticize a Kilkenny player for going over the top. Kilkenny supporters dig up the "dirt" by players from other counties and try to prove that Kilkenny players are saints compared to those from other counties. Sure it's only all "manly" stuff when Kilkennny do it. Midleton (Cork) - Posts: 643 - 24/02/2015 13:58:21 1696318 Link 0 |
I'm sorry Midleton but that post is nonsense. Read the title of the thread, accusations are again be made about Kilkenny following a game, a game in which a Kilkenny correctly had a man sent off for a stupid, dangerous pull, an incident that all Kilkenny people have acknowledged as such (so much for 'No such home truths ever spoken by Kilkenny supporters' eh?).
