Farney edge it as Red Hand left aggrieved

Monaghan 1-12 Tyrone 0-14

When it was all over, Monaghan midfielder Darren Hughes hared back onto the pitch a handful of minutes after being awarded a black card while Tyrone manager Mickey Harte was blowing steam at the refereeing of Eddie Kinsella.

The result was a migration of players, managers, officials and assorted hangers-on into the midfield of the pitch and, though there was no suggestion of anything beyond acts of bravado taking place, it all left a bad aftertaste.
