Clare League 2011/12

[Stanley]

We played Manus Celtic in Ennis on Sunday. Tough game for the most part but we pulled away in the last quarter to win 6 1. With the game in injury time however a Manus midfielder carried out the most despicable act I have ever seen. This tool went in two footed on our centre half minutes earlier, our player said nothing as the game was won and he wanted to play in the next round, he then stamped on our midfielder in the next play, again we said nothing. He then went to compete for a header with our midfielder which when he lost, he started ranting at the referee about why didn’t he get a free, once the referee correctly waved play on, this clown started to sprint with intent at our nearest player with the ball, our full back, who had the ball around two foot away from his left leg, this ape then left the ground, bypassed both the ball and our players left leg and instead focused on putting all his weight and pace into our players right leg, his standing leg. As a result, not only did he break our players tibia, he also broke his fibula and such was the impact, the tibia came through the injured players flesh. ''This tool then stood up, looked at the referee and shouted, that’s your f****ng fault referee, what about my free''. He then walked off and offered no apology or showed no remorse. Our player had his op this morning to insert two pins and a plate into his leg, he has been told to expect at least 3 months in cast, not good news for a self-employed carpenter with a new house and 6 month old child. If this tool kicks a ball again, then its a disgrace. Both his club and the league should take action in order to prevent this coward from doing this again. I don’t blame him for walking off in fairness, I could see it on his face that he knew what was coming if he stuck around, COWARD. In Fairness all other Manus players did apologize after.

That's shocking, according to the CDSL website Barry Guinnane was sent off for Manus last weekend, so I presume it's him that did this. According to the website he's been sent off at least one other time this season. Who was the ref?

Seeing this was in the FAI Cup it'll be the FAI that handle it, and not the Clare League, so this idiot will hopefully get a nice long ban...

Not sure who ref was, but we know it is in his report and we requested a copy this morning. On numerous occassions have players sustained broken legs in the past, myself included, most times its a result of carless tackles which were maybe a small bit wreckless, We had a player break his jaw against Bridge 6 weeks ago, again it wasnt meant, I have never seen anyone go in intentionally to cripple someone until Sunday. I hope his club have enough about them to take action.

If I was you I'd get your club to write a strong letter to the FAI about this incident, copying the Clare League and your own league. You should emphasise the fact that the victim is self-employed and will be out of work for quite some time.
I really hope that the Manus player gets a very long ban, there's no place in any sport for this, in amateur sport where the lads have to get up for work the next day it's especially serious.

Dont know the refs name but he had an English accent and had long blonde hair tied back in a pigtail. That surely narrows it down?

This fellow should never again kick a ball, Its a disgrace that this fellow cant appreciate that we all have a family and a job to go to. I hope the FAI take a strong stance. Who is to say it wont be some 17 or 18 year old he will do it to next week

Yeah that narrows it down to 1, I'd say he'll be as shocked about the incident as any players present would've been, and will send in a suitable report.

If the incident happened like it was described than that fellow shouldn't kick a ball for a very long time, but we all know that disciplinary matters in junior football can be a hit-and-miss affair, so I'd really recommend your club take a proactive role, and write a letter to the authorities.

Manus seem to have been involved in a number of serious incidents this season already, I wonder if it's the same idiot who's behind all of them?..

Dont worry Stanley, we are still very upset about it, still furious about it, we will be taking proactive steps against this kind of thuggery.

what ever about it being the same idiot being involved, it is definitely the same committee dealing with the problems. And if they stuck to their own rules and played by the book it would cut out these problems. Again I would say consistency and honest interest in the game and the development of the game would go a long way and not this one up-man-ship muck that seems to have crept in. Lets see how the league deal with this and will the young lad who was injured be looked after in all this? ... Not defending the actions of that other young fellow in any way but a manager also knows the capabilities of his players should he have been pulled off before this incident occurred?

AWOL your talking rubbish.. It was a cup match nothing to do with your league.. It's an fai issue to sort out.. If your so worried about your own committee why don't you join it and improve it..

they wouldn't let an outsider in there, are you joking me! But you are missing my point, if discipline was dealt with consistently from the start of the season it may well have prevented the said incident. We seem to have lost the element of decency and pride. I am sure the FAI will have some pertinent questions to ask when they look into the disciplinary history of this season, so far. Why dont you have a look yourself second and see what you think!

[Second]

No thanks AWOL im just happy watching matches these days wether it be in clare or limerick.. But then again I'm not the one criticizing committees ... As far as i know this same player is currently suspended from playing clare competitions.. As he was sent off earlier this year.. But hopefully fai will throw the book at him

On a personal level, and in my personal opinion, and I am a great believer in Second chances for young lads, but, I would hope that someone capable of doing that to another human being would never again be allowed to kick a ball in competition under the Clare or any other league. That particular referee will report accordingly though so I think enough said.

Second chances are all very noble but if you saw this lunatiic do what he did to your team mate, buddy or brother you'd give him no second chance. Especialy in the sickening aftermath when he showed no remorse (still hasnt) and simply told the referee to f*** off. Life ban FAI.

I dunno if it would be a second chance anyway, apparently the same fella was serving a suspension from Clare games at the time of the FAI game in question. It might be just luck that he hasn't injured a player as badly before (and for all we know he might actually have done it before?!)

We all have freedom to control what comes out of our mouth and how we use our bodies, it is the one thing that no one can take away from us, so there is no excuse, Draper you are spot on.

He still hasnt apologised is this fella human at all
