Shefflin seemed very upset ? If it was an off the ball, it must have been a very nasty stroke.

What do you think happened?

I didn't ask if you saw what happened. I asked what you think happened.
Would be almost impossible to give the handle of a hurley in through the grating on a helmet so cleanly.

quote:Originally posted by paulm:Yeah, it looks nasty but i'm sure i saw Shefflin take off the helmet ? i think he received the injury through the guard. Somebody will have seen what happened
He took it off once he started being treated.
Yeah, if they had converted the chances, would have been over much earlier. Damage limitation for Clare for most of the game.
quote:Originally posted by liammac:Well I've heard it was a deliberate blow. The butt of the hurley through the facegaurd and into is eye. Hopefully it isn't serious but KK def lifted things when he went off. They were by far the better team and had they been a little more accurate they would have won the game very easy.

Who did you hear it from?

Heard it from a friend who knew someone at the game. The fact that it's third hand info meant I didn't post who I heard did it. It does certainly make sense when you look at how Shefflin was showing the ref the butt of the hurley and when you look at the nature of the injury. How else does a man who's wearing a face guard get an injury like that while the ball is down the other end of the field?
He seemed quite distressed and livid with the ref for not taking action. I hear it's a bad blow to the eye - sounds serious. He did get a rousing standing ovation from the fans on his way off however. http://premierview.proboards1.com/index.cgi?action=display&board=Tipp_&num=10904 15492&start=60

What a fcukin plonker - a man I know who was talking to a dog who saw marty morrissey who saw what happened............
I too was at the game but hadn't a clue what happened. So when I got home I watched the video. It happened after 56 mins 45 secs of the game - so go and watch the fcukin video before writing this sh1te. Can I also suggest TonyDoran that you use both eyes to look at it rather than one corner.
Best of luck to Henry, hope it's not serious and that he's back for the next day.

Anyway I hope it's not to serious and he'll be ok.
quote:Originally posted by Well Boy:Whatever happened to him - it was a f***ing disgrace. There's no place in the game for that kinda sh1te. The powers that be should throw the book at whoever did it. Although he obviously thinks he'll get away with because it was off the ball. I wonder do RTE have footage? Anyway I hope it's not to serious and he'll be ok.
Well Boy are u totally fcukin stupid, it wasn't off the ball, RTE do have the coverage, it happened 56 minutes 45 seconds into the match. clearly shown on TV. I cannot say it in plainer english.
I will be amazed (or will I) if RTE don't show it today and apologise for their insinuations.
Now if that isn't clear enough.......

Why don't you just explain what happened at 56 mins 45 secs into the game and have done with it... I, for one, don't have the video and would like to know what happened.
Certainly agree with you re Marty... "no room in the game for that type of thing"... lazy commentary when he doesn't even know the "type of thing" that happened.

Since when do Claremen need to see anything first hand before they hang a man??
I see the ever fair minded Dermot Crowe gives two lines in his report today on the fact that Shefflin went off injured with ten minutes to go.No witch hunt Dermot?? No request for the culpit to do the decent thing??
I wonder why??

Can't figure why people spend good money on that sh1trag.

Pog... just saw your reading of the incident on the Babs thread.
