8 week ban for McGuinness

Class. It'll be appealed and overturned though because this is GAA we're talking about.

Jimmys winning suspensions

Soon to be

Jimmys winning appeals

[yellowcard]

Given the fact that backroom teams are now stacked with personnel, I find it hard to believe that any team at intercounty level wouldn't know the rules. This sort of stuff is right up Jimmys street, I wouldn't be surprised if he is quietly happy about the suspension. He can play the victim, create a siege mentality and Donegal will benefit longer term.

Is the game not declared void or points awarded to the other team?

[imtommygunn]

Will this not be good for him to build up the attritional mentality...

[Estimator]

Donegal lose the points, but as Armagh didn't appeal they don't get them.

8 week ban for McGuinness

Jaysus.

What is the extent of the ban?

Touch line only?

Everything, including training?

The GAA really is a bizarre entity!

Just once it would be nice if the team in question accepted it.

But yeah, we'll be going through the regs with a fine tooth comb looking for a misplaced comma.

Siege mentality only works when you are perceived to have been punished unfairly. He clearly broke the rules.

Not lost however there has to be some feeling of mistreated for a siege to work. Not sure how donegal can feel mistreated in this case when it must have been known they were feilding an ineligible player.

It was either stupid or deliberate but its a clear rule breach. No big deal anyway as it will be over turned or significantly reduced. Gaa bans dont stick.

8 week ban for McGuinness

Did no-one think to check the rules before they played the boy? Very foolish move by people who should know batter.

It's the county secretary's job first and foremost
