Gerard Brennan was sent off.

Yeah.

All the CCCC did was implement the referee's report and apply the appropriate ban.

In this case, there was no action taken against Jim McGuinness.

So it will be up to the CCCC to retrospectively open that case and decide that you've done the same.

And if you want to trace this back, we're talking about the possible outcome, which I think we'd all prefer that Jim McGuinness is not banned.

But if he's not banned, it's kind of a failure on the part of the various disciplines.

And like, why was that match so highly charged?

Because of the failure to either send off or ban Michael Murphy after the league final.

That was a big part of why that game was so tempestuous at the weekend.

So you had a situation where Kerry felt that they'd been aggrieved.

That's not excusing anything that happened, but that just added to the overall atmosphere.

And Donegal, as Jimmy Guinness said, expected it to be physical.

And in those games, you know, if you're not the aggressor, you're the bullied.

So the whole thing was up a couple of ratchets.

So are we going to have two situations where Michael Murphy doesn't get banned?

That's a failure of the GA disciplinary process as it pertained to that case and the situation with Jim McGuinness.

And don't forget, David Clifford was involved in an incident and he received absolutely no card for whatsoever.

And I mean...

Again, it would break most of our hearts not to see David Clifford play every time we get an opportunity to see him.
