Dublin board accept the rap so far

I am fascinated so far this season with the no nonsense approach the Dublin County Board has taken to matters of discipline.
They barred Kevin's from all competition until they gave up a 'supporter' who attacked a referee and their handling of the headbutting of Tommy Freeman was exemplary.
Now they have apologised for the brawl which occurred on Sunday at the game between the county and Meath and have indicated they won't appeal the €20,000 fine.
Reports that the GAA intends to discipline sixteen players in total who were involved in the incident will however, be their greatest test to date.
If eight players from each side are hammered it could have a big bearing on Dublin's All-Ireland challenge and it may be too hard to resist the temptation not to appeal the players' punishments.
In recent years several county boards have driven a coach and horses through the rules and several times punishments which were well deserved were overturned on technicalities or loopholes.
The GAA has attempted to close the loopholes but the example must come from the county boards.
If the Dublin Board resist the urge to appeal given that Sunday's incident was a total disgrace I will tip my hat to them.
