Sunday Game pundits slam Armagh and Galway for 'disgraceful' brawl at full time

Colm Cooper Ciaran Whelan Sean Cavanagh Armagh Galway Aidan Nugent Damien Comer Sean Kelly RTE Tiernan Kelly

Sean Cavanagh, Colm Cooper and Ciaran Whelan have slammed Armagh and Galway players and backroom team for their role in the mass brawl that marred today's epic All Ireland football quarter-final.

Armagh and Galway played out an epic contest at Croke Park, with Riain O'Neils Long-range free sealing an unlikely comeback for the Orchard county and sent the game to extra-time. The sides were still level after the 20 additional minutes, with Galway eventually winning 4-1 on penalties.

Unfortunately, today's game will now live in the memory for all the wrong reasons. Instead of the focus being on one of the best games of the last five years, the ugly scenes prior to extra-time took centre stage on RTE's The Sunday Game.
