I donât think we could complain if he had been sent off, and maybe from another angle, the ref would have sent him off. I would prefer if he avoided getting into those situations as we need him for every game going forward⌠But I donât think it was cut-and-dried as some people have said.
Tyrell should have been off after 5 minutes in 2009.
Tommy Walsh similarly in 2011.
Swings and roundabouts etc.

Could you point me to the section in the rulebook entitled âSwings and Roundaboutsâ?

The ear piece thing was completely wrong as it is not in the rules.
I personally didnât think the Cathal Barratt one was as bad, but Iâm sure others disagree. Anyhow, enough whataboutery from me. Onwards and upwards.

I donât want to become entwined here, Iâm genuinely very sorry for the lad, itâs a huge price to pay and he will be absolutely crestfallen, massive for him and his family, indeed his entire community, I have a work colleague from Doon and I believe that to be the case.
He is of course a massive role model for kids in Doon and surrounding areas, to suggest otherwise is nonsense

âKidsâ donât watch the Kardashians. Late teens and up do. 40 year old women watch them So whoâs setting the example of role model to the kids in this situation?
My entire point. Itâs adults saying these people are role models which is shaping how kids then look at them.
For what he does on the pitch. If you feel he owes your kid any guidance off it, youâre misplacing your responsibility I feel
I dont view that as a role model personally. I see that is an immature desire to be famous and loved in a weird world.
But at this stage we are going away from the discussion and my familiarity with Kim Kardashian or her lips would be weak to tell you the truth.

You did in your hole 
That was a clear and honest attempt to flick the ball away. He couldnât have been more than a couple of inches away from doing so.

But he wasnât just a couple of inches away from Hoganâs head. Did JO go upstairs for that incident? He did in his flute.

Look, the likes of you have not got a jot. âa couple of inchesâ⌠Give us a break from inanity. We have the media for that job.
For the last time: a pull occurs when the hurl extends fully; a flick occurs when the hurl does not extend fully. There is no way around this distinction, whatever the swings and the roundabouts.
At least you accept the implication of pull/flick distinction. Here be progress.

And there lies the nub. Namely, consistency and transparency.
I donât really agree. Heâs nowhere near a county starter. In all fairness, I doubt many kids in Doon are even aware of him.

The Bull McCabe is coming into town for Mass with Tadgh and The Bird in tow.
The tinkers have found their drowned ass and theyâre cock-a-hoop for their blood money.
Just like the usual suspects here.
Like The Bull, Limerick rule with an iron fist. Weâre too big, too rough, too good. Take us on. Have a go. No problem. Any way you like it.
Yeâll get no blood money either.

In my mind a pull would be more so concerned with the level of force put into moving the hurley, not anything to do with the extension of same. A player would be putting a full effort (shoulders, hips, arms, wrists) into a pull whereas a flick is more a movement of the forearms and wrists.
