Come on lads... there is clearly a few on here that have never been involved in a heat of the moment championship game.. the reason it all kicked off was because Comer and Morgan got into a shouldering match, totally harmless and will always be in the game no matter what, but calling for everyone else just to stand back and let them just finish it is just crazy!! look what ended up happening was bad but if the eye gouge never happened in that incident would we be on here calling the 'handbags' a total disgrace! it was an all ireland Q final that all inter county players dedicate their lives to win and be involved in. no matter how much rules the GAA come up with, that sort of thing is always going to happen! what they need to concentrate on is making sure the incident like the eye gouge is dealth with properly and TK is making an example of, because that has no part in our game! and as for picking out both captains because they dont know who else to pick is laughable! there was 1 ref 2 linesmen 4 umpires 1 forth official and for some reason 2 other GAA officials on the pitch at the end of extra time trying to find out what happened, so from 10 GAA officials they come up with just giving both captains a red card! thats the biggest problem for me about the whole thing..

Yep, a lot of people talking about "players should have just stayed away from it" clearly have never kicked a ball in anger. In that high pressure situation the natural reaction would be to get involved. Pushing and shoving is one thing but what that Armagh lad did just crossed the line entirely. He knows and everyone knows that.

Morgan forever plays on the edge and in my view a player that does everything to give Armagh a bad name… on and off the pitch.. Some of his antics have no place on a GAA pitch and Armagh would be better served without him… Armagh have some excellent players and don't need to resort to this type of stuff… they are fast becoming the country's most disliked team and it's all their own doing….

Replying To Mayonman: "Hard not to agree with everything u say.
I think we should not over react to the pushing and shoving aspect.
Certain things need to be called out in the rules specifically:
*Headlocks or any neck roll/throw. There is a level of danger attached to these actions more so than even a punch in my opinion. One incident in particular last Sunday looked nasty. These are my pet hate
*Obviously interference with the eyes also needs to be called out.
*Pushing someone off the pitch is very dangerous with players falling over gates/walls or down stairs and tunnels. On the pitch this is no big deal but we have all seen a small push on concrete cause injuries when studs slip and the player flies backwards
*Striking/kicking out is already covered in the rules" It really is a fine line though if we start bringing in a whole load of new rules like this your going to kill the passion of the game and this is what it was built on. Dan Hughes great article in Irish news. We had our prob our first blockbuster match in nearly a decade due to the passion and emotions running high be strange if emotions werent running high.
As a armagh fan i was basically shaking just after witnessing one of the best comebacks ive saw and the biggest roar croke park heard in quite a while even some kerry and mayo fans joining in just for the occasion not even cos they like armagh.
its hard to have a close tight match and not spill over. Even the mighty dublin past few years when it was tight got themselves in situations
I agree the eye gourge was ***** and he lost the run of himself but how come this is the first ever 24 week ban for it. The outrage on social media is madness.... Actually this society is turning into a bunch of snowflakes.... Some of the hits and passions of the 90s and 00s is what i grew up on and i miss it. The Mayo Kerry game was basically souless

The most surprising part of the incident was Morgan was jostled and goaded but he walked away from Comer. Everyone was expecting a reaction. Nope he walked away and the first man who would have got vilified and a 6 month suspension was clever enough to save himself.
The GAA then had a massive problem, how to penalize a few from Armagh but also someone from Galway to make it look half even.... but also leave the instigator Comer fit to play in semi. I'm guessing they made a scapegoat from one of the subs.

On your 24 weeks yes your right, it should have been 6 championship games.

In all fairness though Comer was goaded plenty during game time and it is still inconclusive who actually started the brawl at the end of normal time. Plus one of our subs did throw a hand out at TK (after his gouging party piece) although we cannot see from retrospective footage if it made contact but intent alone puts him in hot water.

At least everyone now knows it 6 months for eye gouging in GAA and miss no inter county match and Sean Kelly miss 2 period of extra time and an All Ireland semifinal unless his appeal is successful,, for trying stop a fight ,, u could not make it up ,, hope the Gaa are proud of themselves,, Also it should be public knowledge who sat on that committee and made them decisions ,,

Spot on. The day passion is taken out of the game will be a sad day. Players care about wearing the jersey and love their counties, luckily not in it for the pay cheque which has ruined other sports. Definitely clamp down on the eye gouge but knickers are getting twisted unnecessarily over the rest.

Morgan was the instigator ffs

Enough is enough.

Proposed 24 ban for the eye gouger is a joke, 12 month ban min for the gouger would have been more fitting but still not enough for that despicable act of cowardice.

The GAA don't have to make it li even the have to make it fair. Punish people for what they did and not to make it look even.
They way your going on you seem to think that players hitting a few shoulders makes everything else right. . ...... he called me names so I shot him your honor!

I'm guessing he can consider himself lucky to get only 6 months..I have a question under what rule has he been suspended??how were all other players identified??what did the 9 or 10 officials see with the 2 players that were sent off??i hope the county boards accept the punishment..

In fairness Morgan was virtually assaulting Shane Walsh all day without getting any protection from the officials and from what some posters here say he has previous form with that kind of behaviour. He should have seen red much sooner than the players who were sent off.
