Sure get Bernstein and Woodward on the case.

Or sweep it under the carpet? Surely you have enough imagination to think they might not be the only 2 options?

The Armagh and Dublin county boards have until Monday to challenge the proposed fines handed down to them by the Central Competitions Control Committee for the incident which left Dublin's Davey Byrne with serious facial injuries.

Each county has three working days to call for a hearing and challenge that proposal, but it remains unclear which course of action either will take. The GAA are unable to comment on proceedings until they are concluded and a figure for the fines imposed remains unconfirmed.

All sounds a bit "rug, rug, sweep, sweep" to me.

So the county boards are getting fined for a brawl but no player is punished for misbehaving...

Does anybody know ehat the fines are for?

Fines for both sides indicates findings of wrong doing on both sides.

The fine cannot be for the incident. Nobody could stand over a system that says box the face off some lad and we will fine your county board.

The implication is therefore that the 2 sides have been fined for not complying with the investigation. If this is case then someone should come out and say it as the 2 sides should face the public ridicule that goes with such a finding

has there been anything in the media that outlines what the offence is?

I'm sorry I started this !!

€10,000 fines for both counties for an incident at a challenge match is ridiculous. For Dublin it's probably the price of their pre-prepared meals for the month but for Armagh it's a heavy blow, in fact the size of the fine is unprecedented as far as I know. GAAMaking up the rules as they go along again.

In fairness ye didn't get fined for dumping your bus toilet outside Athleague GAA two years ago so it's not like you haven't snuck the other side of the hammer at times..

How have Dublin been fined the same amount as Armagh?  Didn't hear about any Armagh players left in a state as bad as your man Byrne. 

As for the GAA, the fines they dream up are a disgrace when you consider its an amateur sport.  Just interested in the money.

a made up scenario: player a  punches player b a couple of times, hitting him on the forehead, player b retaliates and hits player a flush on the jaw and breaks it. Do we fine player player b's county more because there was more damage?

ARMAGH attacker Eugene McVerry is today undergoing surgery in the Ulster Hospital for a suspected broken jaw following an incident in a club game last night.

McVerry, who leads the Mullaghbawn attack, suffered the injury early in the second half of their intermediate league clash with Clann Eireann and immediately left the pith and went to hospital.

A Clann Eireann player also suffered serious facial injuries during the game. One player from each side, not including McVerry, was sent off with Clann Eireann eventually running out comfortable winners.

But how did a Dublin player get to be playing in an Armagh Championship game? Though Kieran McGeeney did play for Na Fianna in Dublin before so the reverse must be possible.
