The original abuse was a line that should never be crossed. You then had Canavan going on radio and basically accusing Mícheal Carroll of telling lies about his dead father. Then a Tyrone official makes a claim that doesn't stand up when investigated. Pathetic and totally unacceptable behaviour from a county that really needs to have a hard look at itself.

If that lad was abused about his father then it's very wrong, but lets not pretend that that's an isolated incident and Tyrone are the only county with players who do it. It's very fashionable to blame all the ills of the game on Tyrone, from Donegal's crap style of play against Dublin a few years ago, to all the sleging, every fight in every game, defensive formations, cynical fouling, everything. It;s all blamed on Tyrone every time despite every county in the country being guilty at club and intercounty level.

Nobody has said Tyrone are the only county at it, however their name crops up far more regularly than anybody else despite their pathetic denials and attempts to slur grieving teenagers.
As a result of the investigation undertaken it would refute in the strongest possible terms that a comment was made by any of its players to a Donegal player regarding the death of his father in 2014. Tyrone GAA in no way condone 'sledging' and the managers and coaches of all our county teams, from Acadamh Thir Eoghain to Senior, actively discourage this practice. Tyrone GAA congratulates both Donegal teams on their victories on Sunday in Ballybofey, wishing them well in the remainder of their 2015 campaigns and would express our deepest sympathies to the player on his loss.

If you think the Tyrone statement was an "attempt to slur grieving teenagers" then you really aren't worth talking to. What part of that was the slur and what part was pathetic? If they investigated and their player denied it then they have to take him at his word unless there's evidence to the contrary.
