Tiernan McCann: Social media criticism ‘not easy’

Tyrone defender Tiernan McCann has admitted that coming under a social media spotlight is “not easy” and has appealed to online critics to be “very careful of what they say” about players. McCann was retrospectively banned for two games last summer following an incident against Donegal.
His hand came in contact with the face of Donegal defender Stephen McMenamin during a grapple for possession in their Ulster semi-final tie and his boot also struck the back of McMenamin’s head. It sparked a huge debate online with Sunday Game analysts later laying into the Killyclogher man who was also at the centre of a diving saga in 2015.
