Yeah he will miss a game with much less significance. You would imagine it's PR tbh.(not a dig at Armagh - anyone in their position would do it)
I think Armagh did the right thing. However, it would be odd if the first league game was Armagh v Galway and Kelly played while Nugent did not
To be fair, Sean Kelly wouldn't miss the first game of the league anyway. So Kelly could serve his suspension and play the first game of the league.
Considering the broader issue of Armagh's involvement in these rows:
I think the county board need to be having a word with McGeeney & the players on this stuff. Not just because we're developing a reputation. There may be a time & place for this kind of thing in the development of a team (albeit in general it's not good, is it?). However, we have got involved at the wrong time and wrong place where it done way more harm than good, getting involved in this crap.
The only one where I would have any sympathy was in the Tyrone match, where Tyrone (and one player in particular) was the clear instigator and it suited Armagh to see the game out.
Both melees against Donegal and Galway were particularly brainless and ultimately suited the opposition.
