Yeah, Triggs was a bit mouthy. He was bettered a few times on the pitch. The Darndale players were out to play football. It was competitive, but nothing dirty at all, aside from McAteers kick of Cluxton's heals.

But Copatec has us believe that McAteer was reeking havoc trying to end cluxtons playing career with his tackles

Running around trying to injure amateur players who have a ongoing career but turned out for a charity game anyway is pretty low.

Unless the likes of you and your LOI brigade relax and be positive about all sports and all their merits, it'll be hard to attract a widespread support for the league. The majority of people in Ireland are into more than one sport. If your plan to increase attendances is to degrade other sports for your own benefit, I doubt the LOI will prosper.

What has this thread got to do with the LOI and why do you feel the need to bring it up?

It is possible just to laugh at one man's thickness you know, while at the same time acknowledging he didn't deserve a puck in the jaw in a charity game Life ain't black and white as much as you seem determined to paint it so.


I've already said he was wrong to hit him. Yet you seem determined to put words in my mouth. I'm not sure why.

You did thank a post saying "Claxton has gone up in my estimation".

Just saying...

Because when people cant respond or dont know how to respond in a debate they bring up a completely differant topic to throw in a slight dig.;)

omg a kitty

Cluxton must've had a really good reason to give him a hook like that..He's a teacher ffs
And also, isn't he right handed??

If you call a soccer player a thug on this forum you will be infracted. If you insinuate that an entire team/fans group are thugs you will also be infracted. If you constantly use derogatory terms to describe someone or something you will be infracted.

But it's ok to call a GAA player a thug is it? Or to routinely insult another sports organisation, it's members, supporters and players? Just wondering.

I do find it interesting that those with references to British football teams in their usernames/sigs are the ones vehemently sticking up for the GAA and deriding football

What kind of school did you go to?

Anyway, hopefully Macateer presses for an assault charge so Cluxton realizes this sort of thing isn't acceptable in all sports.

I think it's pretty clear at this stage that you would get a more reasoned debate about Martin Luther King Jr on Stormfront than about GAA on this forum. It's a pity that the obsession and hatred of a few can overshadow what could be a enlightening debate for both sides.

bubbleking

cliff notes so far

Trigger was acting like a spoilt child and clipped Cluxtons heals

Cluxton acted like a plonker and gave trigger a smack in the gob

Both are eegits and bernard dunne is no better

So we have agreed - regardless of sport everyone involved acted like a moron

Then trigger went on the radio......

exactly. the GAA playing neanderthal must realise this sort of thing never happens in other sports, especially in association football. I mean, imagine the outcry if anyone saw a punch, or God forbid, something worse like a headbutt or a violent career ending tackle in football. Its just as well for the likes of Cluxton to stick to his own sport and not tarnish the good sporting name of football where this kind of carry on never happens. Charges should be pressed immediatley so this kind of thing gets stamped out asap.

Nope.

If the tables were turned, Macateer should also be equally condemned. Even saying that, he's a serial winder-upper of other players and has to shoulder some of the blame here as it is.

Where have i ever derided soccer as you have said? Please show me some examples. And yes i will defend the GAA as i see fit against some of the viciousness directed at them here. I am a big fan of many sports but mainly soccer and GAA. The fact that i support a soccer team in the uk is irreleavnt to my support of the GAA.

In fairness, at least Cluxton has had the sense to stay away from the discussions and keep quiet about it all.

I don't think McAteer did himself or anyone else any favours by going on Newstalk to discuss the incident.

I've seen punches thrown at a soccer match, rugby, and many other sports. I've also witnessed far more dirty, underhanded and shocking incidents on the soccer field than I've ever seen on a GAA pitch.

It was better than Trigger's getting hit in the face technique in fairness

What did he say to get that response? (i've not studied the thread yet)

It's such a shame in this day and age to have to see poor uncultured youths like Cluxton having to resort to less refined, and frankly thuggish techniques like the common punch.

It should be part of the mandate of soccer hero and all-around good guy McAteer to teach our uneducated bogballers the gentlemanly art of flying kung fu kicking to the neck.

Was Trigger playing in a charity game when he landed the kick?

I'll refrain from expanding on that, because the Gahliban are closing ranks and ratting people out to the moderators for daring to suggest there is a culture of casual violence in their sport that reared its head here.

Yeah, this is a vital consideration alright...

keane2097

I think McAteer should be arrested for his vicious assault on Cluxton by the way, with reports suggesting he savagely kicked the defenceless amatuer while his back was turned.

This sort of animalism has no place in polite society imo.

Isn't it true that the reason you don't want to expand on it is because we all know where the GAA's culture of casual violence is coming from.

Clearly the country bumpkins - bereft of the cognitive capacity to avoid being influenced by what they see in the media - have been tricked into thinking violence is ok by the constant atrocities beamed out over the airwaves from soccer pitches around the world.

Soccer should be banned before it corrupts any more of our innocent sports imo.
