The GAA's Standing Rules Committee Chairman has called for people to "calm down" in reaction to Tiernan McCann's play-acting against Monaghan yesterday.

Former Ulster winning Armagh captain Jarlath Burns has also asked 'The Sunday Game' panelists "not to vilify a young, amateur athlete"...

People need 2 calm down in reaction to that dive yesterday. Tiarnan McCann is a young lad and he didn't shoot anyone in Croke Park yesterday

I would urge @TheSundayGame panellists not to vilify a young, amateur athlete for one regrettable incident which had no bearing on the match
