Mickey Harte's Red Hand Army - 2015 Season

Quick, default position!

:grinning:

You would say that.

Anyway, I just commented to bring balance to your post which appeared to be pushing an agenda.

You don’t bring balance. You are one of them just like that idiot county man of yours on Off The Ball who has consistently brought up unfounded allegations to demonise Tyrone. He’ll be looking like a right fucking bigot now.

Horse Devlin sorted him out good and proper.

Standard Totti response.

Again I’m happy to have neutralised your biased post and brought balance to this thread.

You haven’t. The mask has been firmly ripped off your face and now you’re running away blindly as your hands cover your face.

Why don’t you once in your life stay and face the music?

There is no music until the Ulster Council release their statement. All you have is an unsubstantiated post from a disreputable website.

As I once again say, I really hope Tyrone GAA are innocent of these allegations.

How is it disreputable?

How is it reputable? Whats their source?

They have sources inside the county board and Ulster Council. They have successfully broken stories before involving Tyrone such as the McCann and Gormley bans.

Throw me up links to those stories there, this is interesting.

That is hilarious. Thanks for posting it. Real journalism there.

Well it seems that you’re the one who is citing outlets as disreputable despite openly acknowledging you know little about them.

Continue to undress your bigoted predispositions for us though.

Oh no, those two news stories have really convinced me*

*please note the sarcasm.

A minute ago you were claiming they were disreputable and now you’re admitting ignorance toward them. Keep painting a happy face though.

Oh no, I’m glad you posted up those two stories. Thats all I needed.

With regards to this case, here’s a refresher of the initial scandal.

Donegal minor manager hits out after ‘toxic’ taunting of player
May 21, 2015

BY CHRIS MCNULTY

DONEGAL minor football manager Declan Bonner has hit out strongly after one of his players was taunted about the death of his father during last Sunday’s game against Tyrone.

Bonner, writing in his weekly column in this newspaper, claims that his team’s captain, Micheál Carroll, was ‘the victim of some of the worst verbal abuse you could imagine’.

It has been alleged that two Tyrone players mocked Carroll about his father’s death. Francie Carroll, a former Donegal footballer, passed away in February 2014 after a short battle with cancer. Bonner has blasted the treatment of the 17-year-old from Gaoth Dobhair as ‘toxic’.

“If this is what is going to happen in games, then I don’t want to be a part of it,” Bonner said.

“I would rather walk away than be involved in something that has become so toxic.

“Sledging (attempting to disrupt an opponent’s performance through personal abuse) is part and parcel of the game now, but there are certain boundaries that should not be crossed. This whole thing has gone to a new level and in our minor game against Tyrone on Sunday, those boundaries were crossed to sickening levels.

“We all know that this goes on and I think everyone accepts that it just has become a big part of the game now, but when the verbals extend to the bereavement of a family member or a loved one, there has to be a line drawn.”

Bonner has raised his concerns with Donegal County Board officials, who have declined to comment on the matter.

Following several incidents in the senior game between the counties, talk of ‘sledging’ has dominated Gaelic Games media coverage and the alleged incidents involving Carroll have left a sour taste in the Donegal camp.

Bonner said: “It shows a lack of respect. Something needs to be done here because sledging has really gone to a crazy level. Where will it stop?

“It’s something that shouldn’t happen at any level, but it really is worrying when you see this type of behaviour going on with 17-year-olds.

“Only the people involved with teams can sort this problem out. Of course you do what you have to do to win – but does that really extend to goading a young lad about the death of someone close to them?”

Kevin Cassidy has revealed that the Donegal minor player said to have been on the receiving end of what his county manager Declan Bonner described as “toxic” sledging from Tyrone opponents bears “no grudges” and “wanted the whole matter to go away.”

Cassidy is a Gaoth Dobhair clubmate of the Donegal player in question, as well as having been good friends with the players’ deceased father, and insists that he “wanted to find out the facts” before commenting on the matter, which he does in his exclusive column in today’s Gaelic Life.

“I want to make it clear that the young lad in question holds no grudges and wanted the whole matter to go away as he understands the consequences that it could have for him in the lead up to their next Championship game.

“He is also aware of the impact it could have on those being accused of this which has been largely out of his control as he hasn’t spoken to anyone about the incident.”

The former Donegal star was also hugely critical of the handling of the incident by the Donegal camp, expressing his disappointment that it had got into the public domain in the first instance.

“The whole thing was wrongly handled from the off. If something is said on the field play and a player is unhappy with what has been said then it should go through the proper channels to ensure that it is dealt with appropriately instead of being dragged through the media.”

So it did happen.

You must have some imagination on you.
