Gaa brawls

He wont be getting a character reference unless he is related to Kathleen Lynch!

 

[SoundMan]

What are you talking about, he’s not an employee of the gaa

If he was given payment to carry out his duties as a ref then I think it could be argued he was temporarily employed at that time to carry out a duty on behalf of the GAA.

The local guards won’t want to know about this, they have an easy out with the footage which mysteriously misses the head but

I think the person recording the match was focusing on the ball rather than on the head-the-ball. Nothing mysterious about it really

Ref's employer is the GAA. Sue them. They won't be long cracking down in it then.

are referees not there in a voluntary capacity? you’re right though. come after the organisation to effect change.

i thought the video seemed to be edited to miss what happened to the ref.

The GAA is unincorporated association of persons and referees in games like that don't get a payment, just mileage.

Just need to establish a duty of care I think. Unless he's a member of course.

Mileage and a meal allowance if it's far enough away I think.
Matty might know if it could be construed as a payment and if the ref was temporarily in the employ of the GAA who it could then be argued didn't provide a safe work environment - though his being a member of the association complicates things I think. All speculation certainly but something must be done to ensure that nutcase is never allowed near a pitch again and that other such instances don't happen

Psycho K**** must have gotten in a serious single blow to that guy's head to have him laid out for so long. There was talk that he was still in hospital today.

This seems to be fair comment.

yeah, i was thinking he’d just get his mileage maybe. besides, if he were to be seen as an employee he’d probably be an employee of that county’s division or of the county board. hq wouldn’t like to get their hands dirty in any of this.
