Comment: We can't keep accepting these shocking scenes as the norm in the GAAI'm sure most of you by now, via social media, have seen the shocking footage from Friday night's Ulster U-20 semi-final between Armagh and Tyrone at the Athletic Grounds. With the stakes high, and tensions even higher, contentious decisions on both sides meant that ugly scenes at the final whistle were a distinct possibility. In the same way as the final whistle scenes in Navan were nothing new, the clips we watched from the Athletic Grounds were depressingly familiar. We have accepted the behaviour in Navan and of those young players in the Athletic Grounds almost as the norm. Not until the punishment befits the crime will the scenes witnessed at the weekend become a thing of the past.
