Seems like Rian O'Neill won his appeal and will play now. Armaghs legal team have done a much better job than Tyrone managed earlier in the year and Geezer has played a blinder in the background.

Let's hope the other lads can get justice as well now.

That's most of the excuses gone. Pardon the pun but Armagh need to push on now.
If at first you don't succeed, then goto Plan B

Game on. Hopefully soupy and Aidan get off as well. Still a few too many injuries to be confident but O'Neill a huge boost.

Bit of a farce when the only player who is clearly caught on camera striking gets off. Puts the pressure back on armagh now as they don't have an excuse if they fail to beat Donegal.

Would expect the other ones to get off as there wasn't as much evidence for them as there was for Rian.

Didn't follow procedure when suspending O'Neill. His appeal was over in seconds.

What does this mean?

He kept his cards close to his chest by not commenting publicly on the incident in the media which I had wondered whether was the right approach at the time. But he knew what he was doing and got the O'Neill suspension overturned and that at least gives Armagh a chance.

Hopefully the other 3 lads can get justice now as well.

What was the procedure. I thought the ccc gave him a suspension when they looked at the video evidence but may be wrong on that.

We might not be told, but as many commented Armagh were always going to challenge this whole procedure, and when you're honest and look at the punishments handed out and the impact it would of had on their competiveness they're totally right to do so.

They've obviously found something and won one appeal. It'll be interesting to see with the other three, and if they keep challenging the process if unsuccessful with those. O'Neill being cleared is a huge success for them and goes someway to at least making the game somewhat more competitive than it was going to be.

Days of taking u medicine after dishing it out look gone.

Will we get a break from the crying now?

At least until the game itself when the referee will be against them? ;)

This was a disgraceful stunt by Donegal to get men sent off. It is welcome that they were only partly successful. Hopefully, Armagh will gave the sense not to fall into such traps in future.

It's amazing how people can change their mind when the shoe is on the other foot. For the tyrone armagh row you said

But teams could set a standard too, they could tell their players that if they do join in a melee that they will not be trying to get the off.

Seems now when armagh get involved it's the other teams fault. Great to see hypocrisy  alive and well.

Other three suspensions stand I believe
Process for O Neill was always going to be challenged.
