Big Brother is watching you!

When are our top players ever going to learn that you can't lift your hands in the modern era, not at inter-county level anyway?
The four-week ban handed out to Fergal Doherty was completely unnecessary, he had no reason to box Rory Kavanagh in the face.
Like most other GAA people I wasn't impressed how Kavanagh went down like he'd been hit by the Washington sniper.
I hate the sort of histrionics which are designed to get a player booked or sent off, but unfortunately it has crept into our game from soccer.
Our club side had a full back at one stage who could do a backward flip with tuck, like an Olympic diver, holding his face like he'd been thumped by Mike Tyson.
I hated it then and still do.
However, our county players are being watched now by television cameras capturing the action from all angles and sometimes more than one station is covering the game.
The linesmen and the four umpires are all consulted by the referee, when will our players get wise to this?
Fergal Doherty is a powerhouse and he is a very important player for Derry.
He wins ball and when he missed the game against Galway during the league Derry were taken to the cleaners, their defence leaking like a sieve.
He will miss the game with Fermanagh and they are a force to be reckoned with in the middle sector of the field.
Doherty's absence will be a huge boost to the Ernemen and if the Oak Leaf county find themselves in the qualifiers as a result it will be a hard road to travel.
I hope that our top players get a grip of themselves and soon, this is the TV era, Big Brother is watching you and the sort of slap normally handed out on the playground has to become a thing of the past.
There are enough top players already sitting the early part of this season out because of poor discipline.
Maybe managers need to do a session with their teams given over to eye in the sky and teach them to smile when their heart is aching instead of looking for the sly dig in revenge.
