What do those of you sports minded people think of this whole affair?
The GAA disciplinary system is an absolute shambles. ...
Nothing. But then my preferred sport is a "foreign game".What do those of you sports minded people think of this whole affair?

The sad thing for me about this lad is that he's a schoolteacher! What sort of example does he set each time he lets his temper get the better of him? You think he'd have a bit more cop on. Think 6 months is a bit much but I've no sympathy for him as he's got away with plenty before. I just wish players and county boards would accept their punishment and not resort to endless appeals as it's making a farce of the whole discipline in the game.
At least we don't lock referees in the boot of a car!p.s. I'm not anti-soccer as such, but darned if I'll take lip from the soccer crowd.
Its referee Paddy Russell I feel sorry for. He has been innocently involved in quite a few nasty incidents over the years. Wasn't he the ref who sent off a Dublin player in an All-Ireland final and the player continued to play on? Then the player went on the Late Late Show and made a laugh of the incident? Wasn't Paddy Russell the referee in charge of the free for all between Dublin and Tyrone? Do I recall all the guilty players got away with that - not one suspension. And now this guy slaps the book out of his hand and every effort been made to excuse this.
