At least it's unlikely that there will be a benifit night for him!Originally Posted by Dodge
(yes has happened on printed tickets that then farcically went up in smoke)
I can beleave that
McKeon didn't deal with the matter properly & that's why we have this discussion now.
He gave Towell a yellow when it should have been red. The referee & I use the term lightly saw the incident so that's the end of it as far as the FAI are concerned.
What Towell did was nasty & uncalled for but what goes around comes around.
As to what Kenny said I wouldn't take much notice of that.
I'd have been more surprised if he said nothing.
I for one am glad that Kenny has brought a calm and rational note to what has been an all too hysterical discussion.
#NeverStopNotGivingUp
Ridiculous stuff from Kenny. Soccer Republic in particular was very mild in it's criticism. What coaches from other clubs have been on Twitter ?
Out for a spell, got neglected, lay on the bench unselected.
He would have been better off not commenting but he makes some valid points. Soccer Republic highlighted one incident of dangerous play in the game when there were several more.
Not sure what coaches were on twitter but Killian sure was. What are Pats fans opinions on his tweets and fb posts? I'd be livid if it was the other way around and would want the player out of the club ASAP.
He also didn't deal with Gannon getting kicked around the pitch in the first half or two players getting busted with elbows from Pats players either. If he did his job properly could have been three reds to Pats and one to Dundalk
So a couple of tweets and Facebook posts should see a player kicked out of a club.
What punishment if you break a fellas nose?
You can't honestly believe that?
As for Brennan, he can say what he likes. Not a single person changed their opinion based on what he said.
I'm simply asking Pats fans their opinion on Brennan getting involved in this and engaging in slagging matches with people on social media. If it was the a Dundalk player I (and I presume Kenny) would be livid that there is somebody at my club stupid enough to do that. Professional footballers should be professional both on and off the pitch, if it was the English Premiership he would be in a lot of trouble. It says a lot about his character when he can point the finger given the number of times he has attempted to injure others.
Like has been said a million times already Towell was 100% in the wrong and has rightly apologized. I think he has earned the benefit of the doubt given his overall disciplinary record but if something similar were to happen again I wouldn't want him at my club.
True it hasn't changed my opinion, it has also reinforced my opinion of Brennan, bags of talent but a liability with not much going on upstairs.
If I were Buckley or a Pats fan I'd be telling him to shut up and stay out of it. Bide your time, hope you meet in the FAI cup and take your revenge on the pitch (result wise I mean), that is how you respond.
I'm happy in the knowledge that we have nobody at Dundalk who would act like Brennan.
He's just a poor referee.
We had him vs Limerick & he was very poor as well.
On one occasion a City player received treatment on the field & he allowed him to stay on. Any player who receives treatment must leave the filed of play. This fellow must be in his fifties now.
I thought there was an age limit in the late forties ?
You should probably check out some of Stephen O'Donnell's and Darren Meenans previous tweets.
If you get upset by something a player tweets you're probably not all right in the head yourself.
Here on a technicality.
Not being a Twit myself can a few examples be posted?
Nothing wrong in my head, but you seem to be having trouble comprehending!
I'm in no way offended by Brennan's tweets/posts and I don't see where I stated that I was. I was amused by them to be honest and it reinforces my opinion that he is an empty head and a liability.
One last time, I was simply asking the opinion of Pats fans getting involved in such things on social media and having slagging matches with any Joe Soap. Clearly from the defensive replies, people are not bothered by it which is fine and answers my question.
You'll have to direct me to these O'Donnell and Meenan tweets I can't find them
There was a couple:
"Richie Towell kicking 18yr olds on the ground....
Good job I was suspended"
"@jamie_mc_gra hAs more ability in his broken nose than Richie does in the boot that done it...#fact#poor#bully"
Then he goes on to trade insults with all in sundry. My point was that I'd be embarrassed if he was a Dundalk player doing it so I asked how Pats fans felt about it. Should have expected I wouldn't get any calm responses and just some abuse.
This is the League of Ireland. I'd be fairly confident every club has at least a couple of people that stupid. Brennan's been getting into slagging matches with people on the internet for years.
There is much wrong with LOI but it has no exclusive or exceptional claim to stupid people.
Well, exclusive anyway.
In other leagues they're usually well-paid enough that their clubs can tell them to shut up.
To be clear I wasn't trying to slag you off there, I was just saying in general if anyone gets offended by these things they'd want to have a long hard look at themselves.
Here on a technicality.
