And then he had the audacity to pretend he was hurt after Kiely gave him a tiny dig. Says a lot about him. I dont know how Kiely didnt take his head off after it.
Well Kiely certainly tried to take the head off of him. Kiely didn’t get the line for nothing
Good Luck

That video doesn’t show Kiely doing too much. Clancy on the other hand....

Behaving in a way which is dangerous to an opponent is a Category III offence and carries a one match suspension.

I have to say a 1 match ban doesn’t seem to fit this particular crime.

Disgraceful cowardly act. He deserves a lot more than just a one match suspension.
That was terrible, he could have seriously injured Kiely.

Apart from the fact that he fired the hurl at Clancy, striking his faceguard.
I was at the match. THAT video ends before Kiely struck Clancy with his fists, and before the shemozzle broke out.
I firmly believe that Clancy should serve the punishment that was given to him. A one match ban. He ultimately, as a goalkeeper, did his job. Stopping a certain goal. Who in that situation wouldn’t have taken out Kiely, or whoever it may have been? I know that I would’ve. Probably not like Clancy did, but I would’ve.

As for Clancy feigning injury. I thought that he had a broken leg looking at the way he landed.
Also, against Shinrone, he dragged the Shinrone player down. Not like he did on Kiely.

Also on dirty teams. KK are a dirty team. Toxicity123… obviously didn’t see their corner forward hit Simon Óg Lyons with the but of the hurl through the faceguard.
They’re fairly fond of verbal abuse as well as hitting lads clips off the ball. Ger Healion was clipping Aidan Treacy. Treacy put a stop to it, and hit 6 points, setting up a few more.
Various other clips off the ball also.
Shinrone are another team fond of the verbals.
I missed most of the Shinrone Coolderry game due to the fact that I was attending a relative’s mass.
I arrived after half time for that game, so I don’t think that I should really comment not having seen the full game.
Anyhow, from what I’ve heard from players that have played against Shinrone in this year’s championship, the abuse players are getting is appalling. I’ve spoken to Birr lads, Rynagh’s lads, a Clareen lad, and they’ve told me of the abuse that and their team mates have received, some about girlfriends, wives, family members, etc. One lowlife said something about a player’s deceased family member. Just sad.
Good Luck

Let’s be honest, it’s not as if Kiely never pulled a dirty stroke…

Loose cannon.... Doesn’t matter if he has or hasn’t that was a shocking tackle by Clancy and the punishment doesn’t fit the crime. He should get 3 months at least. He’s a poor keeper anyway if that’s all he can do to stop a lad running through.

This is interesting. Offaly GAA TV doesn't begin until tomorrow (Wednesday) afternoon. So, who leaked the footage to the Joe site. And in whose interest is it that it should be leaked?

I'll take your word that the afters you mention occurred. On that basis, is there an agenda that only one side of the incident be shown? And is there an agenda that it be shown at all, and who is pursuing that agenda?

What happened after the tackle is not the first port of call. That kind of tackle first of foremost was highly dangerous. The goalie is way out of line. It was a deliberate attempt to hurt the player. How would anyone react to that kind of thuggery?

That’s what I’m annoyed about. It’s almost certainly sent in by someone from KK.
I believe that clubs get access on YouTube privately, I think I heard someone say, so if someone from KK copied the private link and sent it around, that scenario was likely.
Good Luck

I think that Clancy meant to take him out, absolutely. Do I believe that he meant to hurt him intentionally, no. He’s not that sort of player, or person for that matter.

Also, KK didn’t get the penalty for that. It was overturned to a throw in, due to Kiely’s actions. They got the penalty later on in the game. Young Ciarán Flynn, straight outta minor pulled off a great save from a Ciarán Slevin penalty.

Further to this, I've just been told that anyone can obtain the OY GAA TV camera footage, therefore anyone could have leaked it. I just want to clarify this, in case anyone draws any conclusions from my post. All I've done is to raise the query, which I think is fair enough in the circumstances.
