Cooney avoids the disciplinary dilemma

THE president of the GAA will not be joining the chorus of disapproval in the wake of Sunday’s events in Celtic Park for fear of prejudicing the inevitable disciplinary measures to come.

A number of players from both Derry and Monaghan face an anxious wait this week as the Central Competitions Control Committee (CCCC) assess the video replays of the fixtures.

The Ulster Championship game was a terrible advertisement for the GAA which would appear to be reaping what it sowed at Congress where the experimental rules failed to receive the necessary two-thirds majority. Christy Cooney would not be drawn on that last point, however.
