Kieran McGeeney believes the GAA could avoid melees like that which marred the otherwise superb All-Ireland quarter-final between his Armagh side and Galway at Croke Park.

The unsavoury scenes unfolded after the final whistle in normal time with dozens of people, players and otherwise, coming together in unseemly fashion as they made for the Cusack Park tunnel and dressing-rooms prior to extra-time.
