You’re in dangerous territory there my friend
Portlaoise?
any relation to paul coffey
No idea what he is on about
I’m assuming it was something about the big spread Kimmage did on Athenry (I think) a good few years ago now. Maybe something came off that.

Adrian’s brother? Not sure. Could be a distant relation. They’d be living around the same area. Place is full of Coffeys.
Don’t know about the family. Only met a Paul Coffey years ago when I was playing gigs around Murroe / Newport
7 game ban. I dont know. Stupid comment, but was it hurtful and meant to demean or intended to be a slight at Son? Obviously should not have said it, but 7 games seems a lot for a very poorly worded attempt at humour.

Asian market big bucks and money talks.
Suarez got 7 games. Seems to be the default ban even if you’re innocent.
3 games for certain clubs. Starting at a lower base with them though.

As a fully fledged member of the Ratoath Inn, I’d still say both instances were very, very different. Suarez called Evra “negrito” in the midst of a game when they were battling. It was not intended as a friendly way of talking and whilst there are arguments over negrito not necessarily being racist in certain context, in the context Suarez used it, he wasnt using it as a term of endearment.
Bentacur said it as a bad joke to a reporter who asked him about “the Korean”. He wasnt directly slagging off Son nor was he being a cunt to Son. 2 very different incidents but getting the same suspension highlights how Bentacur is being shafted here.

Suarez and Cavani used the same word.
I’m just questioning consistency here. The different bans for the same word suggest that the authorities are condoning certain racism. If it’s a team mate it gets you a 3 game ban. But then Bentancur got a 7 game ban.
