John Mullane - 3 weeks or 3 months ?

jrd · 27-06-2004 10:38pm #1

Following his sending off today during the Munster Hurling Final, should John Mullane get a 3 week or 3 month ban ? Can the referee cite him for hitting the other player even if he did not see it himself ?

I voted no because he is a dirty player shouldnt be allowed play any sports aswell with most of the waterford team,their just a dirty shower

Jolly,I dont know if you saw what happened today or not but I was standing directly behind the incident and there was no excuses for what John done. Although the cork player did roll over and die john should not have lashed out at him.

I feel that he should be given a ban which would include the semi final but NOT the final.

I am also a waterford man by the way. Brilliant game and brilliant result

off the ball incident, I'm for a 1 year ban.

By the way, why have rte not realised their footage. They had a camera behind the goal which would have to have picket up the incident had it been switched on?

I missed it. What happened? Although a year sounds extreme in any case!

kmart6 · 28-06-2004 3:48pm

I think the year ban sounds good although it wont happen,how many club players have got banned for a year for punching or something along those lines.

agreed that Mullane is nothing but a scumbag

A year!! Jasus! I'd of thought you would need to be killin a fella to get that! Again I havent seen it and maybe ill change my mind but god almighty I really hope the powers at be dont **** up GAA like soccer where you can hardly touch an opposing player for fear of been banned from the European Final

Well Gerathy from Meath got 48 weeks (almost a year)!! That took his bad record into account though, which is correct I think! Should a player who has never been sent of and strikes once with a fist get the same suspension as a player who has been suspended many times and carries out the same offence? Also I think that bans for actual games rather than a time period would be more appropraite!

Also Gerathy recently had his ban reduced, so maybe it was Lazarus he killed

Waylander · 29-06-2004 5:32pm

YEah but Geraghty is form Meath so I would encourage his ban for that reason alone. I'd have to commiserate if Mullane got a year. Especially after TJ got away without even a booking for pretty much the same thing.

Waylander · 02-07-2004 9:17am

So a four week ban it is, probably fair enough. He misses the AllIreland semi, but will be back for the final if they make it. Waterford are now complaining saying that he should not have to serve the ban till next years Munster championship as the All Ireland series is a different competition. I think they are pushing their luck and should just be glad it was only 4 weeks he got.

GreenHell · 05-07-2004 9:06pm

He is a right langer, had great craic slagging him off down the town end. Missing the semi's is a fair ban.

One thing is for sure at least the eoin kelly of Waterford WILL have another day out this year.

Tipp had one or players today that may have a case to answer because on the fact that the ref missed some serious fouls 2day. That deleribate elbow springs to mind.

EKRIUQ · 11-07-2004 12:01pm

Hurlings a mans game if you can't take a knock here or there then give up

Waylander · 11-07-2004 10:38pm

just cause it is a contact physical game does not give a man the right to pull across another player.

agreed and im from Tipp .
although I think a yellow card should have been suficient for benny .

In fairness to John Carroll , he went to shoulder his man before he slipped , even if he wanted to he couldnt have pulled out on that surface .

Now there is no need to be so bitter just because Tipp got dumped out by an average cork side.

And yes hopefully we will get kilkenny as to win the all ireland you have to beat the best. We have already seen of the likes of Clare, Tipp,(which must have hurt by the way) and Cork(which I must admit to really enjoying) so we have the ability to beat anyone on our day. Roll on the 8th Aug....

thebman2 · 13-07-2004 2:55pm

Come on the deise.
the rest of ye are sore losers.
ie tipp, cork and clare.

roll on august 8th.
dont care who we get.
we'll beat any team... even if we got the cats and they perform like they did against gaillaimh

it's our time
