The one law that truly counts

As the traditional confusion around GAA discipline melts into outright bafflement, there was at least a welcome restatement of first principles by Down’s Caolan Mooney following last Sunday’s win over Armagh, writes Larry Ryan.

Talking to Sportsjoe.ie, Mooney was able to proudly allay fears that his county colleagues could be cowed by some higher sense of duty to law and order.

Or that they had lost that wild and beautiful sense of lawlessness the clubman enjoys, possibly because his game isn’t broadcast for the country to see.
