Glen express disappointment at GAA’s failure to review ‘breach of rules’

The GAA has made no statement on the matter but is awaiting the decision from Glen. It is believed that the report of referee Derek O’Mahoney has been received with no further light being shed on the controversy.

There is a reluctance to launch an investigation as the infraction is clear and obvious with 16 players visible as the last play of the match takes place. That does not however apply to situations like this, breach of match regulations, when the primary mistake is by the team itself in not making sure that they don’t have too many players on the field.

Nearly as soon as the match had ended in a 1-11 to 1-9 win for the Dublin champions, pictures were circulating on social media of the last-minute 45 metre kick about to be taken by Glen’s Danny Tallon with 16 Kilmacud players in the shot.

FAO IT sport, Glen proper name is Watty Graham GAC. It is named after a Presbyterian who took part in the 1798 rebellion. Walter Graham ('Watty'). It is often said by Irish Loyalists that GAA clubs are only named after Irish Catholics. Is mise le meas.

IrishTimes Disgraceful that the GAA will force Glen to lodge an objection rather than do the honourable thing and call a replay

Disgraceful. What basis do the GAA have for letting this go...?
