Iâm not sure if he connected with that one though, he started into it while Flanagan was holding him and then when Flanagan let go Hayes stopped as well.
The GAA could have saved themselves some hassle here and thrown out a wishy washy âweâve looked at 12 incidents from yesterdayâs game and weâve decided two are worthy of suspensionâ thing rather than a âwe are caving to Cummins here and just agreed to go with what he highligtedâ
Aye and thatâs why he could be in bother, but the incident wasnât near as bad as the cameras or some commentators suggested. The Galway lads stamp was a stupid act that deserves attention, Hayes effort was relatively minor and had some mitigation.
I only saw the Kerry-Wexford highlights via Buff Eganâs snapchat, as if it was 2017, and it looked like a very pedestrian encounter. I guess it was a solid enough job done though. I wonder if Clare will be able to bring the madness and fury of previous games. I donât think we can beat Clare without their performance level dipping a bit, but I donât think itâs impossible that it could happen. I hope weâre not still a bit self-satisfied after winning in Kilkenny. Weâre usually shit at stringing a number of good displays together. Iâll end these banal generalities now.
The minimum crowd is only ever brought up when they donât want to let teams in.
It is at best a deliberately misleading number i would say, i.e. the cost of opening the whole stadium when you are never going to need to do that for those numbers.
Iâm surprised Clare have bothered appealing Hayesâ tbh, looks fairly open & shut.
The frustration with the Sunday Game is a different issue, all that matters now is, is it a red card? And it is. Maybe Duggan will get off if itâs for WODâs.
I donât think him being held is an excuse either, shur Gillane was being held for 90 minutes and actually didnât hit Cleary. He has hit fellas in the past in similar situations and generally been caught.
Fahyâs as well is a deliberate stamp after he had already tried to do him with an elbow to the head. Iâm actually guessing that Hayes & Duggan are collateral for his ban in the first place.
