More trouble at a GAA match. They have the cheek to slag off Celtic v Rangers games.
Tyrone GAA chiefs will launch an investigation after Sunday's county football league final was marred by violence on and off the field.
A mass brawl broke out on the field in the closing minutes of the game and violence then erupted in the stands with several people involved.
The match between Dromore and Carrickmore was held up for around 10 minutes before play eventually resumed.
County champions Dromore won 0-11 to 0-6 at Dunmoyle near Ballygawley.
One eyewitness told BBC Sport that "blood was spilled" during the disturbances in the stand.
Carrickmore players Gabriel McCallan and Plunkett McCallan, who are bothers, were sent off following the mass brawl on the pitch.
Tyrone GAA PRO Damien Harvey acknowledged that the scenes "were not pleasant viewing" and confirmed that the county's competitions control committee would investigate the disturbances after receiving the referee's report.
"The county's CCC (competitions control committee) which is a sub-committee independent of the county board will take any necessary action after studying the referee's report," said the Tyrone PRO.
Referees are required to produce their match reports within three days of games.
Despite the scenes, Mr Harvey said that there were no reports of anybody sustaining major injuries.
Tyrone GAA county chairman Ciaran McLaughlin added that the involvement of spectators in the disturbances was a "worrying development".
"When something happens outside the perimeter of the field, and spectators become involved, it is very serious," added the Tyrone chairman.
Earlier this season, a referee was seriously assaulted at a ladies match in Tyrone, as a result of which two men, one of them a member of the Carrickmore management team, received lifetime bans.
Dromore's victory saw them completing a championship and league double in Tyrone football.

I see the GAA boys don't like threads like this. They NEVER seem to post on these threads. I wonder why?? This association has gone to the dogs. This is the norm now every other month at GAA games.

An absolute disgrace.
Only last week the St. Mary's Club Rasharkin, Co. Antrim were 'handed down some of its stiffest ever sanctions'. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-northern-ireland-15666722 Credit to the chiefs in Antrim GAA, absolute thuggery all got what they deserved. Hopefully Tyrone County Board and so on take a leaf out of the Saffron book. There has been countless cases over the last number of years at all levels in the games, underage etc. one of the latest been in Wicklow. Investigations into the incidents in Dunmoyle commenced today, the Tyrone CCC are reviewing the match report in full from the referee and review video evidence. I was at an U16 football game September last year, been a staunch follower I attend alot of matches, nearly every weekend but boy I never seen such incidents at this particular game. One team had a foreign young lad playing for them who was racially abused, absolutely horrific the things that were said to him, sickening. What made it more sad was it came from the gabs of opposing mentors. The player may have been too committed in a challenge but my god it was disgusting. Another game.. during the summer I was at a minor blitz involving clubs from various counties. A referee in his 20's was physically assaulted by a goalkeeper at the end of a game. This kind of behaviour happens every weekend across the country, until these thugs are arrested and jailed for several years this will continue to go on. Hopefully Antrim County Board have set a standard. |

Heard one of the supporters at the tyrone league final had his ear bitten off and underwent surgery to have it put back on.
The losing team in the Tyrone championship final were fighting between themselves the night of that game and when an ambulance arrived one of the medics got pole axed... Some carry on. |
