Johnny Glynn

Totally agree

in any other sport that’s a definite red card, no discussion needed. It’s a violent attack off the ball !

Only in GAA could commentators be saying a yellow is enough, or yerra there were 2 of them at it. Change in mindset needed.

Absolute scumbag behaviour from Glynn - if that happened on the street he would be looking at jail time, but he will get away with it because the Galway County Board will protect him from any major sanctions.

It was a shocking incident. Long ban now for Mr.Glynn.

What are you on about? What other incidents has he been involved in?

Galway County Board trying to keep a lid on it and sort the issue "in-house" i would imagine. Having an All-Ireland winner behaving in such a manner is not a good look for them, Be interesting to see how they deal with the situation.....

It's a major headache for the County Board on how to deal with this.

A criminal conviction - if pursued could have major implications regarding his return to NYC.

Remember what happened Diarmuid Connolly with his visa "issues" which prevented him from travelling to USA a few years back......

Sure what's going to happen as far as i can see a two game ban is the most that can be handed down under the rules as they stand.

Please correct me if i'm wrong.

One good example - remember Tadhg Kennelly's pre-meditated and dangerous shoulder charge on Nicholas Murphy's head just seconds after throw in during the 2009 All Ireland Final between Cork and Kerry? He should have walked for that one but got away with it.....

In my time playing the likes of soccer and rugby (at low amateur levels around the country) I've seen deliberate leg breakers, players getting jaws/noses/eye sockets broken, gouging and dozens of punch-ups. That's not to condone any of those acts but you're being deliberately obtuse if you think GAA is the only organisation in Ireland facing thuggery.

Were you slating a lad like Dominic Robertson McCoy when he deliberate stood on Josh van der Flier's head a few years back in the Sportsground for Connacht-Leinster, for example? Were you critical of the Columbia women's team when they kicked lumps out of our women's soccer team in a match that was eventually abandoned a few weeks back?

Once again, Glynn should get a long ban and I hate seeing this in any sport, but filth and thuggery happen in plenty of other sports. Singling this out as exclusive to GAA is a very head-in-the-sand argument.

Oh for heaven's sake, now he's being judged on his comportment! He only F-bombed once on TV, like a good few have done since. What are you expecting all GAA players to conform to - Oxford post-grads or something? The 'bogman' moved to NY as a young man and through hard work has established his own successful business over there; would that not be a good prospect for your daughter? Why pick on a single match to make a point? Nothing wrong with his performances in 2015 v. Cork, 2018 replay v KK, 2018 replay v Clare in 2018 (all in Thurles), where he used his physique to good effect.

I missed the hurl/hand on my first view and put it down to a simple choke but you are right. I noted those he kept close, keeping chest pressure while applying although his hips are high. Suggesting some training but not a whole lot.

If it was an unknown down the town of a sat night it'd get the same exposure. Don't think a jersey should protect scummy behaviour.

Edit - maybe the GAA forum is the wrong place, there's a feral youths thread in current affairs that might suit this assault better.

The issue is relatively simple..if this happened on the street he would be up on criminal charges...

It needs to be treated in the strongest of manners.

I am sure there are and those acts should be treated consistently

Sticks and stones will break your bones but names will never hurt you.

You feel sorry for a guy who physically assaulted someone?

How about feeling sorry for the victim.

Show me somebody choking out an innocent man on the street on a Saturday night and I will show you a feral scumbag who should be arrested.

Were not talking about lower levels for other sports though, are we? This was a televised game, and the perpetrator is an All Ireland winner.

Dominic Robertson McCoy got a 12 week ban, and hasn't done anything similar since

Roy Keane got 8 matches for his tackle on Haaland.

Both sports are making, and have made huge efforts to protect players.

GAA doesn't look to be making any effort to rid the game of this pointless machoism, and thuggery

We're moving the goalposts a bit here. With regards to rugby just because they're sanctioning the likes of reckless clear-outs in the ruck doesn't mean they've been reduced. There's always going to be dirty acts committed so long as sports are full contact. Your point was that GAA exclusively is where dangerous acts occur. That's just not true and comes across as somebody with a bone to pick with GAA.

I do however agree not enough is being done in GAA and we're also at a point where potential referees are understandably walking away from the game because of abuse. That's absolute just criticism and it's far too often that appeals for dirty acts that do get awarded bans are overturned anyways.

I agree and the refs have a lot of answer for as it permeates right down to underage. This year alone I've witnessed 3 "tackles" (better described as assaults) on underage players where the only intention was to hurt the opposing player and the ref didn't even issue a card. Its basically condoning the intention to hurt opposition players and giving a green light for it to continue. An officials primary job when he takes the field is the protection of the participants, but most seem more interested calling for steps than dealing with assaults.

Such a lame sport at times. 1 game for a seriously dangerous thing to do

That's absolutely bollocks. Ardrahan will likely be out of championship anyways but even by optics they've completely weaseled out of making a tough call.
