Joe Kernan has called on the CCCC to look at the "whole video" of the controversial Armagh v Dublin SF challenge match.

Dublin defender Davey Byrne sustained a broken nose before the throw-in at DCU a fortnight ago and a copy of the match DVD is being used by disciplinary chiefs to assist them with their investigation.

Speaking to the Irish Sun at yesterday's launch of the GAA Dynasties exhibition in Croke Park, former Armagh All-Ireland winning manager Kernan insisted that the Byrne incident must not be scrutinised in isolation as there may have been other flashpoints.

"If they are going to look at it, look at the whole video and see what happened and how it started. It's very simple," said Kernan, whose son Tony is a member of the Armagh squad.

"Just don't look at an incident. There was an injury and now that is has been brought to our attention, it is going to be looked at.

"I think both counties wanted to put that to bed. Sometimes that's the best thing. If it comes out in the open, you don't know what will happen.

"The fact that it started at the start of the game raised eyebrows rather than the last five minutes in the heat of battle."
