If anybody spots Dublin7 can they ask him what he thought of the above incidents as like the rest of us he was outraged at what McCann did yesterday.

Nauseating and hypocritical sanctimony (from d7), don't depend on hearing from him any time soon.*

*Not a defence of Mc Cann's actions in the slightest.

I do apologise for not replying earlier. I do have other things to do. For what it's worth Philly McMahon incident was clear and he should have been suspended. O'Gara didn't do anything wrong if you actually look back on the video and not just a still frame. Why people automatically point to other incidents to somehow justify McCann's actions doesn't make it any better and not much of a defence.

Sadly you just know Tyrone (like majority of GAA clubs/counties) have lawyers on speed dial so if the GAA do hand down a large suspension to McCann they will appeal it on some nonsensical technicality.

There have been dicipline issues on Tyrone teams over the years from the cynical fouling/diving to incidents like this. Harte should have stamped it out, but chose not to.

O'Gara was clear as day and worse than the McMahon one.

Sweep, sweep.

So it seems Tiernan McCann's defence is going to be go on the attack. Accepting responsibility doesn't seem to even be a consideration.

There's no defending what McCann did. He was bang out of order.

I was just bringing your faux indignation out when you never commented about your own players committed worse acts.

If you condemned O'Gara and McMahon at the time then please feel free to retrieve those posts.

Every County has a responsibility to the GAA to accept when they've done wrong and react accordingly.
However the GAA have a responsibility to treat every incident irrespective of what Counties are involved, what TV channel it's on, the profile of the competition etc with a degree of consistency. That's not always the case.
Supporters have a responsibility to remember these are amateur lads, that make mistakes, and although they should not be free from condemnation, it should be measured.
So far McCann has had trial by BBC live, RTE live, the papers, The Sunday Game and social media.

Saying that, I think in these high profile, clear cut examples, the Tyrone CB should get ahead of the PR and release and statement early, 'Tiarnan regrets his actions, apologises to the player etc etc and will accept any charge that's forthcoming', and mean it.

Have Tyrone CB, Mickey Harte, or McCann himself said anything on the incident?

It's times like this you'd almost miss Syf and his anti-Tyrone tirades.

From one angle it looks like McMenamin feels McCann's hand near his face and then tries to bite his fingers?

Serious question - has a county team manager or player ever came out and commented officially on an incident before any investigation or CCCC enquiry? Is this a thing that happens?
That was never a square ball!!

Look-Up!

Wouldn't have had to try too hard if that was his motive. McCann did most of the spade work for him 😂😂😂

Was there ever the same clamour for Jim Gavin to come out and condemn Philly McMahon or Johnny Cooper?

It happened very quickly, so hard to gauge if there was that kind of intent!

Kinda a stupid and weird thing to do but hardly cause for the hysterical language banging around.

Marty clark said it was the worst thing he'd seen in any sport....wtf is he talking about.

Intent? He was intent in hurting the player he couldn't catch and had literally run around him. Just watch the sequence of play before the incident.

I have read outrage at this action but not hysteria.  However, hysteria would be much better than normalising this type of behaviour on the football field whether it is this 'weird thing to do' or O'Rourke's healthy and manly thumping.

So he was fired up and intent on getting the ball back?? That's exactly what supporters managers and teammates expect from players. U never been in a changing room before a match?

Ive read hysteria by the bucketload phrases like "sheer savagery" prompts Tarantinio imagery
