Suspend all other threads asap -a new low for the gga part 78

First aid people.

What exactly do you think a local GP does? Cos these are generally the lads who work with IC teams.

I wouldn’t let a gp near too many things anyway.

Every player in same boat so running that risk of being left high and dry. Where is the GPA in all of this? Absolute disgrace

I’ve never seen first aid people stitch someone up.
Patch you up til you get to a doctor yes but never stitches.

Your disregard for conventional medicine might be a factor here?

Patrons paying in there deserve a Medical Service too. Over the past 10 years many supporters have suffered serious medical issues at games and many were rightfully thankful an Ambulance was there to ferry them away asap.

I never had you down as a Pat Fitz lackie or arse licker. :grin:

Sweep Sweep.

It’s a disregard for incompetence.

I have plenty time for good medical practitioners. Most run a mile from gaa bar a small handful.

That’s fine but it doesn’t support the assertion you made about first-aiders doing stitches.

Forget it. I’ll be accused of convenience of anecdotal stories

And we are getting away from point of the negligence of Clare

If they’re liable so be it and they’ll surely have to pay out in that event. The figure for ambulance requirements is mandated by HSE guidelines rather than I pulled it out of the sky. There is a requirement to have a medical plan in place for events from 2000 down.
I’d be surprised if the incidence of serious injury that require ambulance cover is drastically higher than club games in general, but maybe someone has those figures.

Is the hospital in Ennis only a minute away from pitch?

Greatest act of sweepery I’ve witnessed on this fine forum in a long long time. Take a bow @Raylan

Would you stop - Typical Tipp here over playing it - He could have strolled over to the hospital, it’s only a minute up the road… the same for any player that gets injured.

I think you’re stil concussed.

just saw it on the TG4 player. There was no momentum or any bullshit. The ball went out over the sideline and the Clare player went to go get it and clearly pushed over the Tipp selector. Its at 7.35 min on the player. It even looks like the ball went past the selector and he just shoved him out of the way to go get the ball behind him. Now granted, he obviously didnt intend for him to smack his head off the ground or anything, but there was no need whatsoever to do what he did.

will he be banned for life?

I think that is the only option here. The GGA are very good at these sort of punishments and ensuring players are correctly suspended when they do wrong, so I’d expect nothing less.

Did anyone thank you for highlighting the Clare Co Boards serious lack of safety planning?

Mum says a half mile

2 mins down

Yea, it doesn’t look good for him. Momentum is definitely bullshit. The Tipp selector seemed to be doing no wrong nor harm, and was fucked out of the way completely unnecessarily. TBF to Malone, he apologised immediately afterwards, and obviously didn’t intend to do the damage he did, but he had no right laying a hand on him.
