I don’t want to become entwined here, I’m genuinely very sorry for the lad, it’s 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

I’m very sorry for the chap and it is a very harsh sanction if it was a one off. Surely he could have been dropped off the panel for a game or two and then be let back when he had cooled his heels. I am surprised Kiely didn’t give this a bit more thought.

@johnnysachs

Could you point me the section in the rule book entitled swings and roundabouts?

There are many more gracious ways of saying ‘I am wrong’ and ‘Sorry, I did not have a clue’ – but no matter.

The retreat to echo says quite enough.

[backinatracksuit]

Doon is a small place, he has three All Ireland Medals, I’d say he’s fairly well known alright.
As I said I don’t really want to get into the ins and outs of it, my sympathy is with him as a human being, he has obviously made a mistake and will regret it for the rest of his life, I hope he has a chance to redeem himself.
But rightly or wrongly they are role models, and they know it themselves, I grew up in a community with multiple All Ireland winners and they were role models to me, not my primary or only role models but all the same.

And @LionelRitchie my own kids wouldn’t know him from Adam

For the last time: a pull occurs when the hurl extends fully; a flick occurs when the hurl does not extend fully.

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.

Fair and good points. But they do not alter the core of this issue.

@glasagusban

He’s nowhere near a county starter. In all fairness, I doubt many kids in Doon are even aware of him.

Wot

[Cheasty]

How does somebody assume the title of “role model”?

Do they have to apply for it? Do they go through a training course or what?

Or is it bestowed on them?

[habanerocat]

Are some of ye lads aware that the “ball was there” excuse went out in the 1950s when the dangerous play rule was brought in?

@Malarkey

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.

Jesus if he was a dublin footballer all he needs is an apology statement and to be rolled out on the late late as a reformed hero. Considering what happened is fairly tame compared to other incidents in other county’s. Kiely takes no prisoners

[Thomas_Brady]

Standards are set. We can’t dip below them.
Half the squad are mass going non drinkers, they’re being dragged through the mud by some scut from
Tipperary.

Limerick sport adopting “in your head, in your head, Zombie, Zombie” as its sporting anthem does not come without consequences for discipline.

Players take things literally, especially in Limerick.

When did a Dublin footballer headbutt someone in a bar?

[Thomas_Brady]

What are you shitting about?

[iron_mike]

3 days after the game and lads stoll writing thesis about Gillanes tackle. Box office

[the_man_himself]

Yes clearly an attempt at a flick that missed the ball. A pull it certainly was not. I’m actually amazed anyone that has watched a hurling game could think that was a pull

Look, just fuck away off into ignoring me. I have zero interest in morons – especially ones of your type. A lot of stuff must amaze the likes of you.

And why would I, with someone who is so brain dead as not to be able to process a distinction between ‘fully extended’ and ‘not fully extended’.

[the_man_himself]

Fully extended and not fully extended makes no difference, its about the power exerted in the flick/pull. A pull is a forceful strike while a flick is a flick of the hurley where there is minimal force. Can you stick to the point at hand please?

[Copper_pipe]

Who’ll win the Junior A hurling championship?

[Thomas_Brady]

The flickers will bate the pullers by 5
