Dublin find loophole that could overturn lengthy Ger Brennan ban

He could get away with it.

According to the Irish Examiner, the suspension is set to be contested by Dublin at a Central Hearings Committee meeting.

An eight-week ban has been recommended for Breathnach McGinn, but Galway are not set to contest.

Brennan's ban comes due to a Category IVa offence, which involves altercations with an 'opposing player or team official'.

However, Breathnach McGinn was not listed by Galway as a team official prior to the game.

If the ban is upheld, Brennan is set to miss out on any preparations for games and any match-day involvement through the whole of the Leinster championship and until the second round of the All-Ireland.

After the Galway game, Brennan said: "Myself and one of the Galway mentors, a small coming together, and silly stuff from us.

"Fergal was correct to show us both a red card.

"Hugh had just made a great save from a penalty, and tempers were high from both sides.

"It's inter-county football, so I'd say there was equal involvement from both sides.

"I'm a manager at the same time, maybe I should have sent in another official to do it.

"Look the Galway mentor he's obviously passionate about his team too, and these things can happen."
