O’Neill reiterates revulsion at spit scourge amid new claims

GAA President Liam O’Neill has reiterated his belief that spitting is “disgraceful behaviour” after the latest flashpoint in Carrick-on-Shannon.

Leitrim’s Emlyn Mulligan vented his fury across the social media outlet Twitter on Sunday evening, claiming a rival Offaly player spat blood at him during their Allianz Football League tie.

The highly rated forward described the alleged offence as up there with the most “dirty acts in GAA” and claimed it deserved “more than a one-match suspension”.
