Shane Lambe Injury

Shane Lambe Kilcullen is going for an operation on Wednesday to repair his broken jaw which happened last weekend in a league match against St. Kevin's, after the game !! obviously i cannot name the culprit but this sort of behaviour is nothing short of thuggery and this person has no place near a GAA pitch. Sadly the referee did not see the incident.
I sincerely hope both Shane and Kilcullen pursue this to the very end,
Best of luck Shane.

Shocking stuff.

I was on the receiving end of a blow from behind during a match down the south of the county a few years back. Doing a days work, maybe getting off a little early to get from the city centre to the south of Kildare only to end up badly concussed sitting in Naas hospital waiting until 1am for results of an xray to see if your jaw is broken helped me make my mind up to finish my club career early.

While not broken, my jaw still clicks. The ref was pretty uncaring that day too. Makes me wonder was it the same ref as in the Athy Leixlip thread. I must try and find out.

Question. Are a lot of clubs using boxing as part of their pre-season training? I know some are. I think this potentially leaves the door open for a player to be charged for assault with a deadly weapon. I know a non GAA lad who was when he was young.

no,nobody checked the injuried player till after the ref blew the whistle which was about 15 seconds after the incident!!think most just thought he hurt his leg!!

think incdidents like this highlight the problem of refereeing in Kildare. surely there are young referees in the county better equipped and trained fellas well over 50 years clearly unable to keep up with the pace if senior games? its a joke in fairness

Jesus how is it the ref's fault that lads are having their jaws broke off the ball? Easy option to blame the ref and now whatever man struck the blow.

Sure look I wasn't there obviously but just making the point it's hardly the ref's fault. Like, if a lad walked down the street, got in a verbal row and broke a lad's jaw, you wouldn't say: 'Well, that's the standard of policing, it's the guards' fault.'

Mouthing off has always been part of the game. Breaking a guys jaw hasn't. There's just way too many incidents like this in the GAA. It's sickening. If the guy can't take a bit of mouthing off he's no right on a football field.

A few jail sentences would sort it out. Assuming this won't happen, do us a favour and let us know what St Kevin's plan to do about it.

mouthing off yes...personnal stuff is not though!!

oh yeh lets send everyone to jail!!
known st.kevins im sure they have been in contact with kilcullen numerous times and will hopefully sort this out!

never said it was the refs fault the player was struck, i am curious as has been mentioned about the incident in the athy game the ref refused to attend to the injured player, just wondering if that was a trait with Kildare refs....are they told to ignore such incidents?

also, if such indicidents continue to go unpunished by the appropriate diciplinary chanels then where does that leave club football in Kildare? on the whole such incidents are isolated in comparison to Wicklow, Laois, up north etc so it would be a shame to see our football being painted with the wrong brush among the National media.

I agree, just because incidents like this happen on the field of play, it doesn't give anybody the right to act like a thug. Criminal charges should be pressed wherever a serious assault takes place imo.

Agreed, and a very long ban!

Well first thing's first assault of that nature is a serious criminal offence and hopefully if the incident did indeed occur than hopefully the GAA and the Court's can impose a meaningful sanction. The player himself could be in a spot of bother too if there is a civil case taken. On a side note though this mouth off lark has gotten a bit out of hand. I truly believe it stems from gombeen selectors at underage level urging their players to do it to get an edge. The only way to stop this is if the idiots at county level (and our lads are no saints either) are given straight red cards if the ref sees or hears rather, an incident of that nature taking place. I sincerely hope the Kilcullen player makes a full recovery though.. The county board will have to go down hard on the perpetrators to set an example..

We can blame selectors, referee's the lad behind the goals whoever you like but at the end of the day it's the lad who carry's this type of thing out is where the fault lies... This mouthing off thing is easy to hide behind and it's not a new phenomen. It's been going on for years even decades.... If you can't control yourself will pack it in.... A lad doesn't become an angel when he togs out or for that matter when he togs in either. I don't for one minute like to see this in GAA and unfortunately it prob. won't be the last time things like this happen but I feel it's starts and ends with the players...
