Anyone know when was the last time or any other times this rule was used to give someone a ban?

Aaron Devlin, RIP, and a donegal club player were banned using this rule, for tweeting about the Association. I think it was 48 weeks and 12 weeks respectively.

Does being drunk and fighting in the street wearing GAA replicas jerseys count as 'discrediting the GAA', how about punching or headbutting another player on the field, is that not 'discrediting the GAA'. Who decides what is 'discrediting the GAA'. Tyrone will appeal this and will be thrown out. Feigning injury carries a yellow card sanction, end of discussion. Sort it out at Congress instead of making up rules as we go along.

Feigning injury isnt the same as diving

So are you saying he feigned injury or dived?

Surely that is the good thing about the discrediting the association clause.It can be pulled out for any offence and should keep players and officials in line

I don't feel an ounce of sympathy for McCann don't dive if you don't want to get banned hopefully this serves as a warning to others.

Paul Finlay should be banned aswell for a long time for his punch on Saturday.

I agree completely, if only it was pulled for any offence. Its not and there lies the problem.

So what happens if the ref sees mc cann diving and tells him to get up. He has still discredited the organisation, but no one was sent off as a result. It seems like a rule being enforced due to the result of mc cann's actions, rather than the act of diving itself.

tyronemanc no need to buy one. plenty free online. I see another Tyrone man making a big at my name. i have only been there twice. to the dog racing. Im usually busy at weekend s at derry or tyrone games and as seen on the other post im backing Mccann.

I see faking an injury as someone getting hit and over reacting or getting tripped and milking the severity of the nature of the injury. A dive in my mind has a different contect

I think all of these fall under this category. When will the bans be announced?

Absolutely. We all know what he did was far worse than a guy going down under a small bit of contact in a tackle. He stood there smirking into hughes' face, goading him into a response - the worse the better as far as McCann was concerned. Why are people annoyed when he gets a stronger sanction handed down? He deserves to miss the semi final

Surely he is banned? Or did his 48 weeks ban end before last weekend?

He got his photo taken in Supermacs in Limerick after his pitch invasion. A bit strange but let him who has not sinned, eat the first burger.

Here we go again, someone does something wrong, gets a proposed ban and everyone is up in arms, what a load of tripe. Tiernan McCann deserves sanction end of story and while there at it several other players from both sides deserve it too. Ive been at some f****d up games of football in my time but what I saw in the last 15 minutes of that game took the biscuit and all concerned should hang there heads in shame, I'd much rather see an all out punch up than the cowardice and sneakiness I saw last Saturday

What sort of ban do you get for biting someone ?

Is it not peculiar how these things don't happen in hurling... These things are all relatively kept within the football community.. Different type of character separating the two codes.. The CCCC need to make an issue of this and clean that football up... Its embarrassing for all members of the GAA and he deserves every second of the 8 weeks..
