Tyrone forward Tiernan McCann has received an eight-week ban after his dive contributed to the red carding of Monaghan's Darren Hughes.

McCann, who can appeal, is believed to have been suspended under the rule relating to discrediting the GAA.

Tyrone legend Peter Canavan says he's very disappointed by the severity of the ban McCann received and feels he was treated unfairly.

However, Ewan MacKenna completely disagrees. He told The Last Word that he believes the ban is absolutely justified.

"Tyrone are looking to blame anyone from southern media to made-up rules, to Monaghan, when only McCann is to blame."

"If the GAA can find a way to punish him great, if it's overturned that's a pity."
