Is it the same lad? Ah he was always referred affectionately here by his nickname by @thelimericks but now that he’s out of favour the affectionate nickname is gone. That’s bidness I spose

Whether it was for drinking or fighting, I wonder if it was one of the big boys would he have been dropped so fast?

I’m surprised a lawman like yourself hasn’t been kept abreast of the update in that case

Robert Byrne decides to go out in Limerick after a game… It’s bad enough this guy has charges of his own hanging over him … he goes mouthing off to Ryan in a pub, who proceeds to put him back in his box, and Byrne then rings the guards :rofl: …

At least he didn’t glass someone.

Throwing a nut is the act of a scumbag anyway

I can see why he’s called Gooch anyway, state of him.

The Doon lads should be more concerned with shitting themselves in the club championship every year and less concerned with hating Tipp

That’s it really. It sounds as if there wasn’t too much to incident, a bit of a scuffule on a night out; not pretty, but it happens. However, the minute you actually throw a punch or whatever, you can land yourself in trouble and Simon should know better.

When you’re in the media spotlight, it gets ramped up to the nth degree but they know that, no matter the provocation, you simply can’t react in those situations and, as balbec says, the people he was out with need to defuse that situation.

Byrne has a nice shiner, Simon has a few bruises himself, they’ll both live I’m sure. But if he wasn’t supposed to be out, regardless of his personal circumstances, Kiely doesn’t have much choice. That’s a costly rush of blood to the head though.

Its gas that being out for a few drinks is seen as a bigger issue than assaulting someone for John Kiely

Boys will be boys… Just unfortunate one lad went running to the guards after giving it big licks first

These top players are always going to attract attention from lesser known and less successful players.

You have to maintain your discipline though and can’t react, no matter how much you are provoked. A heavy price paid.

Byrne ain’t no angel from what I hear.

Well, Kiely isn’t a judge and he wasn’t present at the occasion, so it would be remiss of him to get involved in that without all the facts. All he can do is enforce the internal rules he has set.

If Simon did assault someone, he will be charged with such, and the law will deal with it. But, realistically, it sounds like it won’t go much further because there wasn’t much in it. These kind of incidents happen in every town across Ireland every weekend and don’t really go anywhere. It’s not good; some people probably shouldn’t drink at all if they can’t handle it and two intercounty hurlers should know better to be honest. It’s done now anyway and Simon has to take his punishment as it comes.
