Off the wall but no Jackson rebuke for Mortimer

CONOR MORTIMER is unlikely to face any disciplinary measures from the GAA following his unorthodox goal celebration in Sunday’s Connacht SFC final.

The Mayo forward scored his county’s second goal eight minutes from the end of the decider against Galway in Pearse Stadium before lifting up his jersey and revealing a garment with the words ‘RIP Micheal Jackson’ scrawled on it.

Mortimer’s tribute could conceivably breach the GAA’s rules on bringing the association into dispute or those pertaining to playing gear but no such moves appear to be in the pipeline.
