IT HAS BEEN confirmed that Monaghan star Darren Hughes was sent off for ruffling Tiernán McCann’s hair in the All-Ireland senior football quarter-final.
Farney officials have received confirmation that referee Marty Duffy reported Hughes for ‘striking with the hand’ and he will sit out the first round of the 2016 Allianz League if a one-match ban sticks.
But Monaghan have confirmed to the Irish News that they have submitted a request to GAA chiefs to have the controversial red card rescinded.
A date for the hearing has yet to be confirmed.
Hughes, meanwhile, took the chance to troll McCann last week as Mayo star Aidan O’Shea responded to fellow social media users during the course of an AIB questions and answers session.
That’s not bad but we still think the original is best:
A good manager. Great season Aston villa are having.
A great ebening for Villa fans. Manager of the year in my opinion.
@Ronnie Pickering: he has brought Villa back to the big guys table. Without the laundering.
@Ronnie Pickering: see what you did there
Funny how he was made a scapegoat and laughed out of it at Arsenal and made to look like an absolute fool… Most of the people who slagged him off and said he was useless then are probably saying he’s manager if the year now. A really good proven coach before and now after Arsenal. Just because it doesn’t work at a certain club doesn’t make you you bad manager. Movyes at Utd rings a bell too. Uefa conference winner. Ironic how Utd will most likely be in that competition next season.
@robert kelly: Another article that has nothing to do with Man Utd but someone manages to shoehorn them into the conversation. They are just never far from peoples thoughts.
@David Staed: because they make everyone laugh
@David Staed: I was making a point comparing managerial appointments and the similar situations of Unai Emery and David Moyes that were treated terribly and used as scapegoats which ultimately nearly ended each of their careers but in turn went on to be successful elsewhere… No more no less. Thanks Dave good man
A brilliant manager. A real tactician.
I was thinking of putting on a Spanish accent while giving my team talk Sunday morning, I wonder would it work?
