Galway consider appeal for Fahy after GAA's hearings body uphold Leinster final ban
Galway are weighing up the possibility of appealing Darach Fahy's retrospective one-match ban after a hearing found in favour of the recommendation of a penalty. It is understood the county are awaiting a written decision on the case put in front of Tuesday's Central Hearings Committee (CHC) meeting. However, Fahy is to be suspended for Sunday's Leinster SHC final against Kilkenny for making contact with Dublin's Andrew Jamieson-Murphy in last Sunday week's provincial final round win in Parnell Park. Galway have the option of making an application to the GAA's Central Appeals Committee and the Disputes Resolution Authority. However, time is of the essence ahead of the provincial decider in Croke Park and while they feel they have a case they are keen for it not to become a distraction ahead of the game. In what was believed to be an extremely technical hearing, the CHC have had to meet again since on the matter before making a judgement backing the decision of the Central Competitions Control Committee. Arising from the same game in Donnycarney, Conor Donohoe also received a retrospective one-game suspension and is set to miss the county's All-Ireland preliminary quarter-final against Kildare or Laois on Saturday or Sunday week.

‘Like something out of the French Revolution' – RTE GAA pundit Donal Og Cusack slams Dublin star's reckless swipe
DONAL Og Cusack labelled Dublin star Conor Donohoe's reckless swipe on John Fleming "like something out of the French Revolution". It was far from the only potential red card challenge that went unpunished between 2 Galway won the hard-nosed battle 0-29 to 3-15 Credit: @TheSundayGame 2 The three-time All-Ireland winner didn't pull any punches in his assessment Credit: @TheSundayGame However, it was probably the worst of the lot as the midfielder caught Fleming across the neck as he raced towards goal. Analysing it on The Sunday Game, Cork legend Og Cusack used fairly cutting language. He underlined: "This last one is like something you'd see out of the French Revolution. It's more suited to something that would've been happening at the Bastille. "I don't know how the umpires didn't see that. Read More On GAA "Hurling is a physical game full of courage and toughness but there's nothing tough about that type of tackle." While the Dubs could've easily been reduced to 14 men for that infraction, their opponents arguably should've had two reds of their own. Within the first half Tribe goalkeeper Darach Fahy also got away with a needless swipe in retribution after he got clattered to the ground. In addition to that Daithi Burke later flattened Darragh Burke with what seemed to be a clear shoulder charge to the head. Most read in GAA Hurling At half-time of what was essentially a Leinster Championship semi-final, even Galway icon Joe Canning conceded Micheal Donoghue's men very fortunate to still have their full complement out there. He acknowledged: "Coming out here, they're in a tangle. (Darach Fahy) is very lucky, he's very lucky. It could have been (a red card) easily, it could have been easily. RTE pundit Joe Canning urges GAA to make huge change for Leinster hurling final as fans 'totally agree' Here again, Daithi Burke is very lucky. He just meets him in the chest and up to the face." Back on the nighttime edition, Liam Sheedy was sat beside Og Cusack and agreed that both teams could count themselves lucky to remain at 15 apiece. He added: "Absolutely, it should've been 13 against 14. There's no question that all three warranted red cards. We want it to be 15 vs 15 but there is a duty of care." On that note, Og Cusack later stated that officiating across the board isn't up to standard even at inter-county level.
