Have to say I was surprised about Paul Galvin getting six months today from the Central Competitions Control Committee.
I think it sends out the right message even though I think the punishment might be diluted on appeal to three months.
However, it was clear yesterday that the Kerry captain had embarked on a charm offensive before the hearing issuing a public apology and some were even suggesting that the referee might not report him for knocking his note book out of his hands.
The decision however, will make it clear to all and sundry that you can't mess about with the referee.
We have enough problems with referees being abused at club games without having that type of nonsense going in at inter-county level.
The issue won't go away for a while yet as I believe the Kerry man will exhaust all his possible appeals in a bid to play some further part in the action with his team trying for a three in a row.
Every one still left in the championship should be taking this decision as a clear indication from the CCCC that they will brook no messing around this season.
