Feigning Injuries

The Hall of Fame for diving in Gaelic football, a one that will never be beaten til the end of time:

Horrible act. I suppose the question should be why has no one been hit with a ban since this. Dives like this should be called out and punished with as ban. Would soon cut it out.

How did this pan out?

There was a ban proposed which is more then has been done to any other team. Fans and the gaa need to look at these issues individually rather than handing out proposed bans because a certain team is involved.

Even the way he appealed his ban made it seem like he was proud of his behaviour which sunk his reputation even further.
His real punishment is that his name will live in infamy because of one bad incident rather than of any positive contributions. He's the Tonya Harding of Gaelic Football.

Tyrone were right to challenge the ban. It highlighted the hypocrisy and selective action taken by the GAA. As we know this was not the first dive in GAA history. The GAA tried to act outside their own rules, driven by the (justifiable) media hype and had to rescind the ban.

That said, McCann was a clown for his actions and deserved any abuse comes his way for that.

What technicality did Logan use to get him off?

[trueblue1234]

Think basically they showed other incidents of diving that the GAA didn't retrospectively go back and impose a ban for. To be fair it was a bit of a slam dunk. Just highlighted how the GAA were led by the SG outrage rather that the act itself.

(Unless I'm misremembering it!!)

Shitty dive, but the other lad has no business putting his hand on his head to begin with.

Shitty dive, but the other lad has no business putting his hand on his head hair to begin with.

Fixed that ffs!!

I can't believe people defending Tiernan McCann.

[east down gael]

Your mind would be blown so if you read the original comments on the matter.plenty of one's saying he didn't dive at all!

[Jell 0 Biafra]

Obviously he dived.  But the other lad put his hand on his head looking for a reaction.  He got one. Just not the one he expected.

[Milltown Row2]

Much the same thing as you well know....

Come up today and see how I deal with that scenario lol

Who defended McCann?

This act sums him up.

All fair enough points but the dive was so ridiculous that it just can't be defended. If tyrone had accepted the ban as they should've imo it would've set a precedent and more bans would've followed. The conor cox one last week was a disgrace also, as was sean kelly's. There needs to be an explicit rule allowing retrospective bans for blatant simulation because it'll cause huge controversy in the championship if more of these ridiculous dives result in game changing moments.

The dive wasn't defended. The GAA processes were rightly challenged. It's not hard to put a rule/ process in place and start the actions from that point. That's how the process should work. And you know that.

This dive was equally pathetic. https://youtu.be/DHuU3EdJ1NQ

But was Kerry, so we'll ignore that and wait for the SG to decide.

There was plenty whataboutery from Tyrone fans at the time. Same as when Marsden got send off, Greg McCartan etc. How about calling out your players instead.
