Tyrone set to learn fate of four players facing a ban

Tyrone GAA will have an appeal heard tonight against the suspension of four of their players following the recent Allianz Football League clash with Armagh.

Tyrone will make representations on behalf of the players dismissed.

"We will have to study the video and look at it all. How balanced or imbalanced the position is now, we don’t know. Both teams were involved.

"We’ve just got to sit back now and watch the video, see if we can redeem the situation in any way. There are good fair procedures, checks and balances in place, and we’ll see where it takes us.

"We’ll have to reserve the overall view on that.

"We’re not proud of it but we’ll but have to study it and whatever way it comes through we’ll have to deal with it. That’s life and that’s football."

Tyrone are due to play Kildare at Healy Park this weekend.
