All citings are equal, but some citings are more equal than others.

I don’t know if he did chop down on him though, I’d consider it more an effort to free himself. I agree with the rest though.

The second, more forceful strike, was when Flanagan was walking away…

Anyway, that’s neither here nor there now.

There’s a bunker with a big screen and a hotline straight to Croke Park being built in Martinstown as we speak.

So you want the opposite of objectivity and fairness, you want an official avenue for your whinges?

Sigh. Read a bit more above.

I wonder do you actively attempt to miss posters points or is it just a lack of cop on?

its very deliberate,

I’m 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.

I was hoping it was just a lack of cop on

“striking or attempting to strike”

Have you posted more whinges above?

The GAA could have saved themselves some hassle here and thrown out a wishy washy “we’ve looked at 12 incidents from yesterday’s game and we’ve decided two are worthy of suspension” thing rather than a “we are caving to Cummins here and just agreed to go with what he highligted”

Aye and that’s why he could be in bother, but the incident wasn’t 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.

Cummins is getting off very lightly.

I only saw the Kerry-Wexford highlights via Buff Egan’s 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 don’t think we can beat Clare without their performance level dipping a bit, but I don’t think it’s impossible that it could happen. I hope we’re not still a bit self-satisfied after winning in Kilkenny. We’re usually shit at stringing a number of good displays together. I’ll end these banal generalities now.

A man who wore a Manchester United jersey under his Tipperary jersey should not be given a platform on national television.

The minimum crowd is only ever brought up when they don’t 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.

I’m surprised Clare have bothered appealing Hayes’ 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 it’s for WOD’s.

I don’t think him being held is an excuse either, shur Gillane was being held for 90 minutes and actually didn’t hit Cleary. He has hit fellas in the past in similar situations and generally been caught.

Fahy’s as well is a deliberate stamp after he had already tried to do him with an elbow to the head. I’m actually guessing that Hayes & Duggan are collateral for his ban in the first place.

Mitigation isn’t relevant to whether it was a red card offence or not.
