Too much or just about right?

Tiernan McCann has been the talk of the GAA community since last Saturday following his theatrics in Tyrone’s win over Monaghan in the All-Ireland quarter final.

McCann’s actions have prompted a response from the GAA and he’s reportedly going to be banned for eight weeks for the “dive.”

Various newspapers say the Tyrone player will receive such a long ban because he discredited the association.

The ban will mean he’s out of the Ulster side’s All-Ireland semi final with Kerry on August 23 and the final if they make it passed the Kingdom.
