Galvin gets 8 weeks

Paul Galvin gets an 8 week ban. Very harsh it would seem. Some here would have you believe that he gets off lightly and that the Ulster counties are scapegoated. Clearly not the case. Blinkers off.

what was his punishment the week before?

about time that pup was taught a lesson - good to see they've thrown the duster sorry i mean book at him................

As Paul Galvin got a straight red for wrestling and not throwing a punch I will be keeping a close eye on all matches from now on to see if they same punishment is dished out for similar incidents.

Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.

It seems very harsh to me but aside from the harshness of the card last Sunday I think the ban is connected to his red v Cork last summer.

If our referees could manage the same consistency as Galvin reaches with his red cards vs Cork discipline wouldn't be a problem.

They seem to be consistent in only one matter. ie Paul Galvin has to get a red card, seems to be enshrined in the rulebook.

If they'd get a chance to read it without him slapping it out of their hands..

Thats if they go by the book

Its a wee bit harsh to get 8 weeks, It wasn't really a bad incident, Ive seen far worse at games

I saw it for the first time this morning and from what could be seen from the TV footage there wasn't a lot in it. There's talk that there was an elbow throw before that though.

from what i have seen very harsh is he been targeted

based on what i saw Galvin can count himself unlucky - and i think he may be a victim of the furore kicked up by Mickey Harte - this is the problem with the GAA and their disciplinary system - there are many times when the time does not fit the crime. Look at Tommy Freeman last year he got two months for an attempted headbutt, Miskella gets a yellow for a punch to the head and Kennelly gets a yellow for a shoulder to the jaw.

Galvin is being prostituted by the CCCC who are using a big name to set an example and attempt to pacify Harte

Mickey Harte really does my head in with all his moaning. A great manager no doubt but feck me does he ever stop whinging? I am sick of this arguement, if you're caught doing something take you punishment and have done with it. This school boy shite of pointing to what someone else has done in an attempt to justify his own players actions is out of line.

Bocerty, you reckon Galvins red card is an attempt to quieten Harte? Well i did not see the Galvin incident (but knowing him he was probably up to no good anyway). If what you say is the case and its to prove a point that it is not a witch hunt against Tyrone then Harte and Tyrone people should be happy. They have got what they want (ie other people punished).

Funny how Harte does not moan when he uses video evidence to get players absolved from red cards. ( something players and managers of non televised games cannot use, like the Kildare guy who was sent off against Laois a few weeks ago, apparently everyone in the ground knew he did nothing).

Harte should just get on with it, take the rough with the smooth.

What's your view on Mickey Harte constantly being in the media Boc? I think everyone on here know's what i think of him both as a person and a manager but i think he's becoming the Arsene Wenger of the GAA!

So was the 8 weeks suspension the same as someone getting a suspended sentence in court? Breaking his probation his probation in a CCCC sense?

samin its only my personal opinion - Galvin wrestled the guy to the ground now what went on before may have been serious, the cameras didnt catch it - i thought the incident the week before were he grappled with the ref was much more serious but it wasnt mentioned - it may be part fo the reason for the 8 weeks but i doubt it.

it can be a bit nauseous at times - but as i said on here before i spoke with Mickey over Christmas and he is convinced of an anti-ulster bias within Croke Park

i typed the last post in a hurry - but i menat to add that i dont necessarily agree with the anti ulster bias - the Ulster dominance of the noughties ( ) swelled the coffers of the GAA big time so i dont see why they would want to force a hidden agenda which would discriminate against us nordies.

All i would ask for is fair play for everyone - the CCCC cant nit pick through video evidence and hand down suspensions willy nilly - it has to be seen to be a transparent process which is consistent and commands the respect of the county teams en masse. In fairness i think thats all Mickey is looking for as well.

Whilst i can understand Mickeys frustrations i think it is ridiculous to suggest that every game be videoed and viewed. The reality is that high profile teams are going to get more attention. Meath and Armagh played a few ago on live tv. Two supposedly physical teams (not one of the ball incident highlighted or one suspension arising from the game). Armagh have played many games on live tv and to be honest i cant remember one player getting in trouble because of something being caught on camera that the ref had missed. I think its a very childish arguement from Mickey to be honest. If your caught doing something take your punishment if someone else does the same thing elsewhere and gets away with it do not moan about it. I can see his point to an extent but i think its very petty. I notice Tyrone are bottom of the fair play league, maybe he should try and sort out the discipline problem rather than moaning about being caught

Story lads - anyone have a link to YouTube to the incident?
