Limerick GAA 2023 - League champions means nothing now 🐐

Anyone have a list of people that got retrospective bans handed out so far amongst the bigger counties?

One of the first ones I remember is the Paul Delaney/ Mick Church Ryan ones of 1995 (3 and 2 months respectively based on TSG analysis at the time). The Colin Lynch one from 98 was 3 months as well

Cummins and dowling started this nonsense with selective analysis of incidents after last years Munster final. It’s swings and roundabouts I guess.

Well it was happening in 1995 so I don’t think it’s a new phenomenon.

I’d imagine trial by Sunday Game predates that incident too. It’s just the first one I remember as a young lad, and I was fierce pissed off that we were down our two corner backs for the Limerick game!

Is it only the televised games though? Or are dirty strokes in nothing matches being reviewed after that fact

No they didn’t.

The papers being alive yesterday with people pointing out the incidents equally to blame

I’m not overly sure. My memory is fuzzy. Somebody on here will know for sure.

Cummins and Dowling done a segment on the Clare players escaping cards and one if not two of them were pulled up the next day before getting off again I think. Rory Hayes appealed anyway.

In the same Game Flanagan was very lucky again but that wasn’t shown on the Sunday game that evening.

They were very selective on what incidents they showed after last years Munster final. The gaa should review them all or review none of them. You can’t be just reviewing the televised game from that day or whatever.

My reply was raylan

@Fagan_ODowd can probably recall but I think a few Waterford lads got done retrospectively during Derek’s reign. Aussie Gleeson and I think one of the Bennett’s got a ban for interfering with a helmet after the fact. Can’t recall if they got off on appeal or not

Mick McCarty of off the ball was pointing out about how gleeson was done a few times

As @Fagan_ODowd also mentioned the other day - 6 lads were suspended for the Semplegate incident after the fact as well.

There is typically a handful of incidents every year which get reviewed

Usually based on how much screeching goes on

All incidents were pointed out after game by Daly & Sheedy too.

Eddie Brennan had an article yesterday where he said some of the hits were late & dangerous.

Anyone who saw the game saw the incidents :joy:

One thing is clear & certain now , Limerick are reffed differently to the rest.
Selective retrospective banning included.
The media are also working overtime on the narrative.
Add this to cheating players feigning injury to the slightest of contact & we might have to win someday with 12 or 13 players on the field :person_shrugging:

There was no feigning of injury by Waterford players on Sunday.

The only player making a meal out of contact on Sunday was Hego.

If right was right on Sunday, Flanagan would have walked on straight red, as would Hego and Nash would have gone for two yellows. Had the rules been applied on the day, Limerick would most likely be up shit creek about getting out of Munster by now between suspensions and a defeat on Sunday.

Yes they generally get away with a lot more
