I can't say that I would argue with the decision by the Central Competitions Control Committee to fine Mayo €5,000 after missiles were thrown at Kerry footballers during the recent National League game at Castlebar.
Players have a right to play the game safe from any idiot on the sidelines who decides to target someone because they have ability and they were born in another county.
However, I do have a certain amount of sympathy with the Mayo Board which has been ordered to install a CCTV system in the ground.
This will also be an expensive undertaking and if it works anything on the lines of the police CCTV cameras we have installed on most of our interfaces here in Belfast then it won't capture the action when it does kick off.
This ruling will establish a precedent and I believe that within three to four years it will be compulsory for all counties to have a CCTV system in place to stage county games.
