Absolute rat eye gouging
In fairness Spillane was spot on . Disgraceful disgusting thuggery. The game was brilliant and I’m not a huge GAA fan but this behaviour is all too common at every level of the game
Well said Pat Spillane
Spineless GAA management. It's very easily fixed. Any player fighting in the ground at any time gets an immediate 1 year ban. Do it again on return gets a lifetime ban. The thugs might think twice.
Before I talk about the positive side of the match. Without mentioning teams ,this not the first time it happened. This was going on for a while and I agree with Pat Spillane, the GAA need to do something about this.
Haven't been in croke Park in 19 years and today I witnessed some brilliant football, atmosphere and all the fans enjoying an incredible game and that's what I will remember.
Joyce showed his class stating penalties to decide was a disgrace. Armagh Thug who should not have been there to eye gouge needs a several year ban. Cowardly act, knew he wasn't involved in the match so any red card would not apply. Club and County should ban him...........but GAA will let it slide of course.
All for a bit of pushing and shoving down the tunnel but eye gouging when your not even on the panel is a cowardly move knew there'd be no consequence, should get a very long ban
People myself included have often talked the same shite we accuse Pat of, but boy does lhe ove his football, and he's 100% right here.
A Mayo man here , Ok the first game had everything you could possibly want... Dare I say an absolute epic , the Galway lead, the Armagh comeback , the heart stopping extra time , brilliant scores, and a monster leveller from Rian O'Neill.
Ain't that fantastic viewing for young kids.
The disciplinary element of the GAA has shown itself to be toothless with regard to this issue in the past, amd this is an example of reaping what you sow.
Nothing manly or postiive about that sort of behaviour, they are cowards hiding behind a thin act of macho bravado, a poor subsitute for common sense, respect and restraint. Young men nowadays really need to wise up, violence is a waste of everybody's time.
I've been around plenty of high level sports people, quite a high proportion of them display bad behaviors of many kinds, that's just what I've observed.
Spillane quite rightly talks about the praise and enthusiasm of the hurling people for their game. Nowadays such a comparison has little merit. In recent times Hurling, from year to has moved on in leaps and bounds played with a level of skill, athleticism, in a gladiatorial fashion that is at times is mind-boggling. Spillane (up to the point of the disgraceful scenes), talks about the Armagh/Galway being 'the game' that football people (of which I am one) being an advertisement for the game of football,that has potential to be something so much better, than the usual fair we have become all to used of witnessing. He may well be right but we need alot more of 'the game'(s), as he puts it, to put football back to a place to rival hurling as a spectacle. Football has been in serious decline in recent years with the all too usual stuff of teams playing passes over and back, across the pitch ad nauseum, seemingly bereft of ideas as to how to inject a bit of magic into the game. I now live in a hurling parish and they laugh at this stuff we call football. Might I say that the best game of football I have seen in some time, was the Meath/Dublin all Ireland ladies final from last year. Two teams that rolled up their sleeves, charging up and down the field from the throw in. A game of real excitement.
They should abandon the whole game and kick both teams out of the competition, then hold another quarter final with the two teams they last defeated prior to this game. That should be the rule, then teams would be properly punished. Not saying this will stop a brawl but it will punish a brawl properly then. A few cards here and there isn't a real punishment.
To be involved in one such incident is unfortunate ...involved in two careless ...involved in three ...well leave that to any person of moderate brain power ....Is some manager not in control of his team?? Solution : County board fine of significant funds and a ban on team panel for a cooling off period.
Well holy God, The GAA at it's best and there will be nothing done about it, not one player will be banned for this disgraceful mob type carry on any bets!
During the 80's and again in the late 90's i recall the gaa condemning the 'disgraceful tuggery ' by the Australian compromise rules team for their on field antics, they said that the series should be scrapped if such behaviour continues.....hmmmm, i wonder will they scrap the remainder of the championship??😳
My man almost became a meme there at the end
