Tiernan Kelly Incident

And you'll get all the little bitches crying about the big bad nordies. Small men living in fear.

If they want to fight, then let them join boxing or MMA and fight. Not being bitches and trying to assault lads that want to play football.

The sporting equivalent of "hard lads" who go around in groups looking for "fights" after the pubs close against lone lads walking home minding their own business.

Nobody will defend eye gouging, its a heinous offence.

But this isn't really about eye gouging, the thread was started because certain middle aged men have a deep rooted fear of the nordies and grasp any chance to talk big about them online.

"Talking big about them online" ..... Says the fella who came in in the third post implying other posters were "little bitches".

The eye gougers are bitches - not the two people who posted ahead of you

"Pretend hard man hides behind his friends when caught" type of scenario

RTE really lose their **** when these scuffles break out and it seems to work in riling the masses. Apparently it's 'shocking' and 'appalling'. Meh.

I'd take a dim view of the gouging alright and would support a nice ban for the culprit but the other stuff is just lads getting a little excited. The game is played on the edge. You can't ask young men to be that pumped up, play a physical game and not expect it to boil over on occasion.

Jeff Kenna, one of our most underrated players, quality defender.

Not defeinding Belfast, (Antrim/down) or Armagh or any of them places as I’ve no allegiance to them or love for them.

but Dublin, cork and limerick to name a few have some horrible, horrible individuals.

gangland Dublin.

the post office incident with the scum bags last year with their dead uncle

the stabbings and rows over farms in cork

you could go on

Yes you can. Rugby is more physical but they have zero tolerance to the type of behaviour witnessed today, and on previous occasions this season by Armagh players.
