It will be interesting to see the outcome of Sheehan's citing review. History tells us that the rules are different for the Irish.
6 week sentence.
Discount for record - 2 weeks.
Discount for doing an AR course - 2 weeks.
Discount for being a jolly good chap - 2 weeks.
Discount for being Irish - 2 weeks.
Result: lynagh banned for 2 weeks for daring to headbutt Sheehan's shoulder
Sheehan gets 6 weeks.
No wait it's only 4 weeks.
Reduced to 3 with a coaching intervention

I didn't see the clean out in real time and have only just managed to track it down. First thought was it looked a bit of a soft collision - ie Sheehan wasn't going full on, but having said that Lynagh failed his HIA so it couldn't have been as soft as it looked. Second thought, according to the laws an absolute stone cold card and couldn't really complain if the colour was red.

Can't see how you could mitigate to even a yellow.

Not accepting that it was foul play should hve resulted in a doubling of the 6 weeks, not "not halving". Idiocy.
Yep, I originally thought that too Tordah, but if he accepted it was foul play, wouldn't that suggest he did it on purpose so that would be more reason to double it?

that's genuinely very good
