The CCCCCCCC has proposed fines of €5k for Monaghan and Kildare.

And The disciplinary body has decided not to take further action against any individual Monaghan or Kildare player...

All invisible men then. 

Which players do you think should be suspended?
The fella that was given a straight red for striking?
Who else did something worthy of sanction?

[Applesisapples]

I think the point which is being made is that this was no worse than the pushing and shoving at the Derrytresk match, however, there was no incursion here, which makes a difference. anyways time to let it go.

They've hit both counties with €5K fine, so they must have discerned something of punitive substance. How curious then that they can't even identify one individual who was at the core of the disturbance.

must look at the video again - I thought there were several subs from both sides in the thick of it on sunday, difference was they didnt have to jump any fences so it didnt look as bad.

Lads, put the tinfoil hats away for a few days.

Did anybody strike anybody else, apart from the player who was red-carded?

As mentioned earlier, the Kildare Number 8 performed an act that would be deemed at least an 'assault' if it happened on the street.

Oh my god.
You do realise that over the course of a 70 minute game of gaelic football, even if not a single foul is committed, multiple acts that would be deemed an 'assault' if they happened on the street could occur.
Ever watch rugby?
Rugby tackle someone on the street and see what happens.
Is this what ye are reduced to lads?
Seriously?

Brian Flanagan was the one man to raise his hands and he has received a ban. Niall Carew has also received a four week sideline ban for entering the playing area. Both county boards have been fined. What more do you want?

What did Flynn do and at what point in the match?

No, there weren't.

So, we're now into the realms of the CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC recommending punishments for acts involving phantom players, phantom acts involving real players, or phantom acts involving phantom players, all because the 'optics' look bad.

Extract from the (identical) Kildare and Monaghan appeals: we're not accepting this punishment, since no one at all was involved, obviously.

There was a 'shemozzle' involving somewhat more than 2 Kildare players, not to mention Monaghan players.

Define 'shemozzle'.

But no one bar Brian Flanagan raised their hands. He took a swipe at Paul Finlay (and missed not that it matters). Nothing else apart from plenty of pushing and shoving. Should the other twenty or so players be banned for a bit of pushing. You'd see worse on the Coppers dancefloor.
