More administration controversy for GAA hierarchy

The GAA could face their third match administration controversy in the space of a month after a chaotic finale to Saturday’s Ulster semi-final draw. 

Donegal were reduced to 14 following Martin McElhinney’s sending-off in the 55th minute for adding a black card to an earlier yellow. However, they had 15 men on the field for a short period towards the end of the second-half around the time a free by Conor McManus dropped short. In the confusion Donegal may also have finished the game with only 13 men.

It is understood members of the Monaghan management team flagged the issue with the fourth official before it was eventually corrected.
