FOOTBALL GOVERNANCE BILL - REVIEW & COMMENTARY

The Football Governance Bill was published last week.

Below is a link to my detailed review of the Bill, along with my initial thoughts on it.

Just reading through the Football Governance Bill.

Section 8(d) gives statutory recognition to the specificity of football, lest there be any further dispute about it or sport generally.

Ted Flynn’s favourite summer holiday - a day on the beach in Abersoch @love_prezzo

[Steven Flynn @SteveFlynnBar]

Name the beach.

If you did your secondary education in South Wales, you’ve almost certainly been here.

@RugbyBarrister I spent my formative years following the Déise around Munster (we rarely got beyond that) & still get over for a few games. Not as often as I’d like since I had kids but I have started taking them home for the county match. Waterford hurling & Munster rugby are my sporting loves.

[Steven Flynn @SteveFlynnBar]

Hurling is the greatest sport, and the All-Ireland is an incredible occasion. You should watch it if you can.

[Dara Ó Briain @daraobriain]

UK friends! This year’s All-Ireland Hurling Final will be live on BBC iPlayer on Sunday afternoon 3.30pm. It’ll be Limerick v Kilkenny, a repeat of last year’s final and it might be a classic. You will certainly see why I keep going on about Hurling here…

[Steven Flynn @SteveFlynnBar]

Beautiful afternoon for crabbing off the quay in Nefyn.

@lovefutebol That’s right and is in the right ballpark. Even without mitigation he’d have been able to play vs Scotland (arguably the most significant game). Some people are suggesting he should be banned for the tournament, which would be wildly disproportionate.

[Steven Flynn @SteveFlynnBar]

Suggestions that the #Sexton ban is outrageous ignore the central importance of proportionality when sanctioning disciplinary offences.

The Panel had to have regard to the fact that the RWC is soon. Anything more would have gone beyond that necessary to protect the game.
