It took until the final hours of this morning (Saturday) for the GAA's Disputes Resolution Authority to reach its decision to quash the one match suspension issued to Dublin's Diarmuid Connolly last weekend.
The Dublin forward is set to line out against Mayo in this evening's replay at Croke Park. Needless to say, the good people of Twitter had a lot to say about the appeal:
Great news for Dublin with Dermot free to play today. GAA 's system is some joke #dubsvmayo #dubsby5

So Connolly plays today. Some news to wake up to. Not sure what it says about the GAA's disciplinary system but it's huge for Dublin.

Rumour there's a hurling match on tomorrow too. Don't know, haven't heard anything about it.
