post edited but still discussion needs to be facilitated
Classic edgy Mike
Get help very soon if youâre making jokes about a 13 year old chap dying in a freak accident. Doesnât matter if youâre a young fella and full of beer, you should still go talk to someone.
If youâre a grown man, then Iâm not sure really what to say.
Didnât you say your young fellas teeth were knocked out by a hurley when messing around with a Polish lad? Have a thought about how fortunate it wasnât a lot worse like this instance.
I can not fathom how one would handle hearing that news delivered of your son. Send him off to school in the morning.only for him not to come home that evening. Fuck me, itâs a cruel.world sometimes
delete that you fucking moron
I most certainly am not making jokes about this incident, it is an absolutely horrific accident and nobody should have to experience this ever âŚand you certainly hope it can be avoided in the future
believe me âŚwe most certainly have thought long and hard about itâŚ
what happened is an absolute tragedyâŚand I mean at this stage ,I dont know, should it be almost mandatory at this stage that once you hold a hurley, the helmet comes onâŚ
a sliothar can travel like a missile, get that to the templeâŚfucking hell
I have edited my post as its obvious the discussion has been handled immaturely by a few notable contendersâŚbut at this stageâŚa conversation is needed about hurleys and helmetsâŚhow many more of these accidents can be allowed, hurling is sacrosanct in small parts of this countryâŚI fucking get thatâŚbut that doesnât mean it carries a risk or is above discussion
.a discussion that youâd wonder could avoid future occurrences like the above
seriously now lad.
I think it is mandatory but shur lads out in the yard belting a ball. Would have been told not to Iâd imagine but shur same as a football.ending up out in yard.
Tragedy
ah look thatâs fair enough, - TFK debate at times can take many forms and my intention as always was only from a positive perspective no matter how left field we traditionally approach a topic- youâd think lads would know better after 15+ years on here- but at time you need to spell it out. but anyway - thats also part of TFK
as @LionelRitchie pointed out - we were in temple st in june for something that thank god didnt go worse⌠i dunno, tragic accident avoided? damn fucking right⌠if he goes out the door pucking around on the road with the x2 lads, will he be wearing a helmet? - youâre n fucking right he willâŚ
i dunno - its like where do you draw the line- you have similar conversations about heading in football, its banned here till u12, youâre removing a risk, fellas dont agree with it, i get that but its the right thing to do⌠is swinging hurls and bating sliotars around in an unsupervised environment carrying a risk? probably⌠can we attempt to avoid it or reduce risk? - id say soâŚ
I dunno
Helmet wouldnât have helped in this case. It was a belt in the throat
Chin on the helmet might have done enough to deflect. Weâll never know I suppose
But was he actually hurling or were other lads and he got struck by their strayed ball?
