Didn't know where to put this so started a new thread.
Paul Hegarty from Harps and Ruaidhrí Higgins from Dundalk given 3 game touchline bans after the fracas at the end of the game recently,also Jamie Mcdonagh given another 3 game ban on top of what he's already served.
Extremely harsh all round I think.......
Irish by birth ,Harps by the grace of god.
Journalist Gavin McLaughlin gives a forthright view.
It certainly seems inconsistent - not least on the basis of the suspensions given out to repeat offenders last season

Have to say, I'm absolutely baffled by this. I saw the incident in question and Higgins did absolutely nothing to warrant a ban. If I was Dundalk, I'd be looking to appeal that.
Three-game touchline ban for Dundalk assistant coach Ruaidhri Higgins for his part in a minor schmozzle at the end of the Finn Harps game in Ballybofey recently. Same sanction for Paul Hegarty of Harps.
Colm Deasey banned for 4 games on top of the automatic 1 game ban he received for his sending off last week.
It was a bad tackle but five games seems a bit mad. Maybe it's an accumulation thing with Harps?
If sending off was for violent conduct it's three games additional. So really Deasy got one game extra.

Is it just me or was it just a badly timed tackle that once he mistimed the original slide he couldn't stop?
He hardly deliberately decided to get himself sent off
Nobody knows apart from Colm Deasey,but the narrative that is being used is that he deliberately went out to hurt him and some even suggested he was told to do it by the management!
Now a red card and a late mistimed tackle is nothing new for the player concerned but some are really going after him and I genuinely believe it's been totally over the top.
Are people genuinely complaining about a 5 game ban? It was a disgraceful tackle, should be no complaints
Im not complaining about a 5 match ban but I can defend a young player from the abuse hes taking is that ok ?
Irish by birth ,Harps by the grace of god.
What abuse is he taking?
Irish by birth ,Harps by the grace of god.
Conor Kearns given a 5 match ban and Derek Pender 4 over the recent fracas, very very harsh IMO.....
