Dublin could face the wrath of the CCCC after their late appearance for yesterday's All-Ireland football final.
Jim Gavin's men were due to run out on the Croke Park pitch at 2.56pm, two minutes before Mayo. However, they didn't appear until 3.02pm, with Mayo taking the field at virtually the same time.
According to former Mayo full forward John Casey, who works for Midwest FM, there were "players going for each other" in the Hogan Stand tunnel and Aidan O'Shea and Kevin McManamon were "swinging at each other" as things threatened to get out of hand.
These claims may also be subject to an investigation by GAA disciplinary chiefs.
