He deserves it but problem is other players from other counties haven't got that so why select him? #hysteria

We'll never find that out.

RTE might know something.

Bingo. And the answer is because TSG said so, and the GAA are afraid to stand by their own rules and principles because they need a complete rewrite so they basically make them up according to public opinion, which is shaped by TSG. Very like the NFL.

I hate diving, and I'd have no problem in principle with banning divers. However, I don't think it's ever happened before, and I think it only happens now because of the media. Will we now see all divers suspended? Will we f**k.

This is a farce, ye cant ban someone when the rule doesnt exist to do so.

Time to give Fergal a shout

I can only presume it's that disrepute rule they were on about.

Sure thats so vague you could get banned for anything on the CCC's whim

I think the fact that Shields went unpunished a few weeks ago means there's not a chance of this sticking once it goes through the proper channels.

I expect a messy appeal and someone with a brain overturning it.

Easy, this is the GAA

I wonder will the GAA order a retrospective replay of the 2003 AI final after Jordan dived to get an opponent sent off.

Spot on

[orangeman]

Some can of worms this.

Anyone got a link to some facts please?

Anyway, if it is an 8 weeks ban it is ridiculous and will be reduced on appeal. But he may miss the semi-final.

Hard to know what would be worse though, diving to get a fella sent off, or ranting like a lunatic on a TV programme to get a lad banned. Who do we phone to get Brolly one co banned for 8 weeks?

If it is miscredit charge, 8 weeks is the minimum as far as I know. So it can't be reduced, only rescinded or downgraded.

Messy.

Simulation to get player sent off , is a yellow card.  Everything else is hysteria.

Actually - it's not - there's no mention of simulation in the rules
