Brolly reveals why Fitzpatrick's case was thrown out

Antrim's Matthew Fitzpatrick and Joe Brolly.

Joe Brolly has given his legal opinion as to why Antrim's Matthew Fitzpatrick had his 48-week ban overturned last night.

The RTE pundit led Fitzpatrick's successful appeal in front of the Central Appeals Committee which sees the St John's clubman free to line-out fo the Saffrons in Sunday's Ulster SFC quarter-final against Donegal.

This morning Brolly revealed the "legal basis" behind the CHC's decision to overturn Fitzpatrick's suspension via his Twitter account: 

I can reveal that the case v Matt Fitzpatrick was thrown out on the well known legal basis that it was complete bollocks.
