Finally, I would encourage all people with an opinion on this subject to read page twenty of the Irish Examiner dated 24.07.2008. Liam Horan is writing about this affair. I warn you, read it sitting down because the contents are blistering and searingly painful if you are from Kerry. A raw nerve is touched but if you survive the first reading read it again. Read and heed it and if you are one off those Kerry people who have been affecting an air of martyrdom for the past few weeks just put up your hands, plead guilty by reason of blind county loyalty and move on. Fold your tent, travel to Croke Park next weekend where historically our footballers do their "talking" with dignity. That would explain why the Paper was left on my desk for me when I came into work Friday Morning.. Didnt even look at it, Must have a read tomorrow.

Maybe there was nothing suspicious about it! Sometimes people can just be nice! On the other hand, maybe it was the money and jobs section they were trying to give you, to give you the hint that you'll be getting your p45 soon. Hee hee

If the DRA could have cut the ban to 3 months, they would have done so in my view.

My understanding is that the DRA can either agree with the ban or clear it altogether but not reduce it.

Which is why they have sent it back to the CHC with an underlying message to reduce it. I actually think from reading it that the fact that Paul admitted guilt worked aganist him...

I suppose would it be stating the obvious that in both cases they were wrong, and maybe had reason to be suspended? No, lets blame the media and everyone else....

Fair enough they were both wrong to do what they did, but how would you react if someone threw a wooden spoon at you.

Yeah they had reason to be suspended, but their apologies only worked against them. I didnt see The Face of the GAA in the 21st Century coming out and apologising for almost blinding somebody last week. He was right not to though, it wouldnt have been good for his marketability.

Yeah, but did you also notice (Or not notice) how it wasnt brought up by Michael Lester and Co during their analysis of the game at half time and full time.

Buck, I have already said about 100 times at least that I am not going to make an excuse for what a Cork player did on the field. I am also not responsible as to how the GAA see fit to run their discipline system. If you feel like having a cut off Seán Óg then maybe try some other website, I'm really not interested.

Your over riding theme on this thread though is "if you do the crime, do the time". Which is fair enough. I dont remember you expressing these thoughts after the Anthony Lynch (Munster Final 06) and Noel O Leary (all ireland semi final 07) incidents. Again, double standards?

Buck, not sure if I posted at the time about either incidents on here, but I did on rebelgaa and would have said the same as I'm saying about Galvin now. If I've the energy later I will search for the posts. I don't do double standards.... I could see no logical reason to appeal either one to be honest, but then again, I'm not Frank Murphy am I?

I saw the Cork v Galway hurling game just the once and didnt see any incident with Sean Og. I saw the photo on this forum and it looks bad but photoes can be deceiving.
So......... what happened?
Did Sean Og actually try to give a dig with the hurley through the helmet of the Galway player?
If so , I am shocked

Oh to refer back to the Lynch thing. If it was proven on a video that Lynch didn't hit Donaghy, then if I was being awkward, I would suggest that Donaghy dived. Could ye not just stick to the topic about Galvin and the hearing? Ye all have admitted he did something wrong, so what has Seán Óg's behaviour got to do with Galvin losing the head?

It has nothing to do with Galvin, just not alot of people had seen it so just put it up there for people to decide. Lynch got off on a technicality in 2006, so why should Galvin not get off on a technicality. Thats what I'm wondering. We are just asking you and other Cork fans to realise that the Cork players are not innocent as you think. I have been on the Rebelgaa page many times and I never see ye slating any of your players except Donal Og who is a fantastic player and O'Sullivan who has given ye unbeliveable games over the years

You don't see us slating many players because it isn't allowed under the personal attack rule. Doesn't mean we don't do it over a pint!

Getting off the topic but Ive been living in Cork for 7 years and I have never heard Cork people slating their players.. Its kinda strange. But shure the real capital and all
