Any sectarian language needs a huge ban. No matter what was said.

Correct, It says on the bbc website that the Ulster Council are issuing a statement today.

Ulster Council: Sorry folks, we wimped out laying down yet another marker. The aggressor will be free to play the majority of the league and all championship matches. As you were.....

Its bad form of McKiernan to have done it, as someone said before its a brainless act. But lets not get too carried away. To ban him for a year like some have suggested is a bit much but two games seems leniant. What is the rule on this?
How long of a ban did Wylie get for nearly decapatating Martin Reilly? If he only gets two games will it be the Ulster council wimpining out, failing to lay down a marker, as you were?

I didn't see the game or the tackle you're referring to, but if you don't see the difference between that and putting down a marker for sectarian abuse, there's no hope. This has absolutely no place in the game and the punishment needs to be appropriate to send out that message.

BTW, apparently the 2 match ban only relates to the current competition, so no impact on the league, and if Cavan were to lose their next game, it's only a one-match ban.

Worth noting McKiernan has the option to seek a hearing on this.
