THERE ARE WIDESPREAD reports this morning that Tyrone’s Tiernan McCann has been handed a proposed eight-week ban in the wake of the controversial diving incident in last Saturday’s All-Ireland quarter-final in Croke Park.
McCann threw himself to the ground in the second-half of the match after Monaghan’s Darren Hughes ruffled his hair.
Hughes was subsequently shown a red card by referee Marty Duffy.
Several national newspapers and RTÉ Morning Ireland have reported the development this morning which was first revealed on TeamTalkMag, a website the covers Tyrone GAA, last night.
It is understood that the CCCC of the GAA have been investigating whether McCann could be charged with ‘misconduct discrediting the association’.
