MONAGHAN’S DARREN HUGHES was one of three players sent off during the All-Ireland football quarter-final defeat to Tyrone at Croke Park.

The forward had a grab at the (admittedly outstanding) hair of Tiernan McCann, who reacted by throwing himself to the ground like he had been hit by a tonne of bricks.

Scandalous behaviour.
