Why is one player allowed to be named and the other not?

I had thought one was a player and one a spectator. Did anything happen any spectators?

Why would Ulster council rescind a suspension do you think ?

Would it be lack of evidence or that they just want to be seen to brush the whole thing under the carpet so to speak ?

Whatever about the individual circumstances kilcoo are coming out of this looking very bad.  Given the nature of the whole event they really should have put the head down and taken it on the chin.  It is not like they are disputing a dodgy refereeing decision or the likes.They got six months maximum and given the nature of things the players would have missed damn all championship time.  No matter what happens they will miss the next championship match no matter what as it is likely to be outside the time ban.  There certainly does not seem to have been much co-operation from them despite their statement of co-operation.

I don't think he'd miss the next championship game given that he wasn't dismissed during the game?

So you feel there is a lack of evidence here Orangeman?? Agree Kilcoo have came out of this looking very badly! I'd ban both of them for a year!

It must be a lack of incontrovertible evidence.

Why would the GAA risk losing face and being accused of brushing things under the carpet ? The accused are entitled to a fair hearing and the Ulster council hearings committee have I would imagine closely examined the facts and concluded that in one case, one of the accused had no case to answer ( no concete evidence against him ) and the other Aidan Brannigan did not deserve 24 weeks in the first place.

This is a very public and high profile case and the media are waiting on the outcome and are only too glad to report on it and it is difficult to see the Ulster council hearings body not making the correct decision.

There is a suggestion that this might go further but hopefully not.

I could be wrong but my  understanding is that if you are suspended due  to something arising out of a game then you must miss the next game in that competition,therefore he would miss the next championship match.

With the GAA there is past history in terms of racist claims. Look at the 2 cases in Wexford where 2 county players were subjected to racial abuse. One lad of Chinese descent and other of Egyptian. Both the accused received in the region of 8-10 week suspension. Until the GAA eradicate these half hearted suspensions then I won't change my opinion!

It looks like a sordid deal, name the spectator and we'll ease off on the players. Shame Ulster Council Shame!

Not me saying that. Ulster council hearings committee have decided this it would seem based on their decision to now reduce his suspension.

Aidan Brannigan has a darker skin tone than Aaron Cunningham.

What's that got to do with anything?
