Monaghan have lodged an appeal over the decision to strip them of home advantage for the Allianz Football League clash with Louth next month.
The Farney County was fined €5000 by the CCCC for the half-time brawl in the meeting with Kildre on February 12 but their decision to contest the punishment resulted in the Central Hearings Committee taking away home advantage for the clash with Louth on March 11.
County Board Chairman Paul Curran is unhappy with the extra punishment and confirmed Monaghan would appeal the decision of the CHC.
"We feel that it warrants an appeal and it's been lodged," Curran said.
GAA president Christy Cooney has hinted that alternative methods of punishment could be introduced in a bid to stamp out brawls and he fully supports the CHC decision to strip Monaghan of home advantage.
"They made a decision that they felt was appropriate. We have to get rid of so-called melees. We're sending out the wrong message and the wrong signal and it's bad for our image, s I think they've taken a course of action and I support it," he said.
Cork and Armagh were handed €5000 fines for the brawl in their league game and they may decide against appealing the decision given the extra punishment dished out to Monaghan.
Cork selector Ger O'Sullivan has confirmed that they will appeal the suspensions handed out to Pearse O’Neill and Michael Shields but he is unsure of the county will risk forfeiting home advantage.
"The fine of €5,000 is huge for a county board," O'Sullivan said.
"As for the players, I know Conor (Counihan) has sat down with them this weekend and looked at the DVD with our stats guys.
"We will definitely be appealing the players. I know Pearse O’Neill did nothing and I think Michael Shields was cited for pushing a fella in the face but I think they were very harsh and likewise with the Armagh ones."
