Sean Cavanagh at a loss to explain Tiernan McCann outburst

Tyrone great Sean Cavanagh has claimed Tiernan McCann has a reputation locally for being “too nice” and that he’ll be “gutted” with his two-match ban. Defender McCann was hit with separate two and one-match suspensions, which will run concurrently, for “inflicting injury recklessly” and also “behaving in any way that is dangerous to an opponent” after clashing with Donegal’s Stephen McMenamin in their Ulster SFC meeting.

The 2018 All-Ireland finalist will sit out Saturday’s Round 2 qualifier against Longford as well as an anticipated Round 3 game.
