John O'Mahony: Unbelievable that players trying to stop brawl were sent off

Galway captain Sean Kelly and Armagh’s joint skipper Aidan Nugent were sent off when they seemed to be peace-makers

The scuffles between Armagh and Galway players at Sunday's All-Ireland quarter-final

Galway’s All-Ireland winning manager John O’Mahony said it was unfair for captain Sean Kelly and Armagh’s joint skipper Aidan Nugent to be sent off as they seemed to be peace-makers during Sunday’s melee at Croke Park.

O’Mahony, who guided the Tribesmen to All-Ireland glory in 1998 and 2001, said the GAA need to take some responsibility for the unsavoury brawl as both teams used the same tunnel to go to their dressing rooms before extra-time started.
