Tiernan Kelly Incident

At the least it should be a lifetime ban.

Gouging FFS.

For a county with just the one all Ireland to it's name, i always thought there was/is an arrogance to Armagh tbh. Considering the crap they were at today, there will be very few tears shed outside Armagh tonight. Thank god this crowd of thugs have been knocked out.

You can ask them and demand they do.

see what sort of stones the GAA have to deal with this… my guess is they won’t do enough.

the perpetrator probably getting an apology hastily ready and a receipt from a psychologist and it will be ‘out of character’

eye gouging ughhhh, absolutely filthy behaviour…

Anyone with a shred of decency will call this behaviour out plain and simple, not ramble about "Nordies"

It’s absolutly amazing how many fouls are “missed’ in GAA hurling and football matches when there are 14 official watching it from all angles and all - linesmen and umpires - are wired up to bring any foul to the notice of the ref in championship matches.

there is an assumption that if the ref blows up for EVERY foul he would destroy the flow of the match. The problem with this policy of not blowing for everything that when the players find out what fouls that they can get away with they will commit these fouls through the match. A good example of this is throwing the ball in hurling instead of passing it.

The GAA will fix this when they learn how to spell schemozzle.

One paper reported that he was going to get banned for the rest of the inter-county season!!

Please let them not be that ridiculous.

Yes you can. You expect them to play the game and then shake hands afterwards. There is no need for that scrappy slappy messing around. Pushing and sly punches, one of the Armagh players close-lined a player.

Look at real tough men sports like rugby, boxing, martial arts etc. Generally they are respectful after the matchup is over.

I do feel though that the situation politically in the 6 counties for the last 100 years has created a battle hardened population in counties like Armagh when we in the South literally abandoned 6 county nationalists to the mercy of Loyalist Murder gangs and British forces who treated nationalists brutally and like dirt.Many GAA people suffered desperately and only those who endured it really know the impact of not knowing whether you'd be alive or in jail next week or not.Children saw horrible things and thats very recent stuff we in the south know bugger all about as we were told look the other way by our government & RTE.

If the people of Galway or other counties had suffered the same the shoe could be on the other foot, clearly playing GAA is more than a sport to people in the 6 counties who would probably die for their jersey whilst us in the south would have a softer outlook. Doesn't excuse the behavior of some yesterday but situations you endure and were raised in mould you .

An awful act but I would be slow to vilify one person and lay it all at his door, which would suit the GAA and Armagh. This person cant be made a scapegoat of to allow the rest of the squad and backroom off Scott free.

If this person thought it was a good idea to do what he did, it obviously is a culture promoted within the squad. This is Armaghs third involvement in a mass brawl in this competition. Questions have to be asked of McGeeney and the culture he is overseeing.

The likes of Donaghy in his backroom team doesn't help he was an awful mouthy cynical player in his time.

Another one added to the ignore list. WUM

the Dublin thread seems to be a breeding ground for strange angry men. Gusser09 and now this boyo.

very unusual indeed, I wonder what’s going on in their personal life that they’re so angry on here
