Derry and Monaghan get fines removed

Derry and Monaghan get fines removed
26 June 2009

The CHC have decided that both Monaghan and Derry will not have to pay the proposed Eu10,000 fine imposed as a result of their players' behaviour in the Ulster SFC match between the two sides.

Both sides were hit with suspension and fines after an Ulster SFC quarter-final which tempered with a number of unsavoury incidents.

Suspension and fines of Eu10,000 were proposed by the Central Competitions Control Committee.

Both counties appealed the fines and the Central Hearings Committee decided that the charge laid against both counties of 'Disruptive Conduct by Players (not causing the Premature Termination of a Game)' was not proven

Common sense prevails! Just one more piece of business to be resolved from the Celtic Park debacle!

Hmmm, a GAA topic.......what's this doing on here?

Agreed MMM, the fines were far too big for what happened. Chelsea got fined £90,000 more for almost starting a riot, 2 of their players manhandling the ref and another trying to rip his head of and swearing down a TV camera. Hardly in the same league eh?

Hopefully the other piece of business you mentioned will get sorted out too, albiet about 6 weeks too late!!

Aye, and who said the GAA weren't fast!?

Some joke it's only being heard now so long after the game, and just a few days before a crucial qualifier for us. The way things are and how the team have been preparing without him, if he did actually get off he mightn't start! Wouldn't be a bad aul impact sub though
