Disciplinary tribunal mooted to end trial by media

A LEADING academic has proposed a solution to the ongoing controversy within the GAA about media coverage of foul play.

Several inter-county managers have complained of inequitable treatment when it comes to suspensions for their players, pointing to The Sunday Game’s focus on controversial incidents as driving the disciplinary agenda within the Association.

Jack Anderson, law lecturer in Queen’s University Belfast, suggests GAA chiefs appoint a disciplinary tribunal to examine controversial incidents at the same time that The Sunday Game is broadcast.
