You’ve put up a clip there of Cathal Barrett getting an elbow to side of head that actually resulted in a concussion and him missing the next match. I didn’t think it was malicious from Morrissey but it was a connection and suggesting it was a dive is juvenile in the context of head injuries.
There was certainly intent from Morrissey for the wild swipe across Jake Morris late on that also looks like having him out of the next match. It happens but @thelimericks have a huge victim mentality this year when they are more sinning than sinned against I would say
Cathal Barrett collided with Tom Morrisseys shoulder it was totally accidental. It actually very similar to Diarmuid Byrnes collison with Bonnar Maher.
Zero badness in either. Just the speed of the game and a mistimed movement in both instances.
I’d agree that Morrissey’s seemed accidental. His later pull wasn’t but that’s what you’d expect in the heat of a Munster championship. I thought the ref was very poor but maybe the game is becoming too difficult to ref adequately
If the officials didn’t get the call wrong on the last sideline, Tipp mightn’t have won that last free to draw the game! Then again, we might have ended up having a manager on the line this week
He’s not a lunatic. Sure anybody would be tempted to puck the head off Davy if he was ranting and raving beside you. The mild mannered Jason Forde even manhandled him once.
To get a month ban, he must have threatened violence of some sort on Stack and his group of officials.
For me, all jokes aside - thats a bad sign. You have to control yourself on the line. He seems to struggle with his temper. He had public run it with Stephen Bennett when he was with Waterford that just didnt look good.
You would never see John Kiely do that. He is too cute. Thats what you want in my opinion.
