The organisation can't turn a blind eye to what happened here.

The iconic Hill 16 in Croke Park could be converted to seats if fighting in the terraced stand continues. Video footage emerged over the weekend of an altercation between Armagh and Monaghan fans during the All-Ireland football quarter final clash between the two teams.

The footage has been condemned by the GAA, which says, it represents "unacceptable behaviour from a small number of supporters". The GAA's Director of Communications, Alan Milton, says the organisation can't turn a blind eye.

"At a time when, ironically, other sports including soccer stadiums in the UK are bringing back in safe standing areas, I thing if this is to continue - and I sincerely hope it doesn't - you'd have to question if there is a need to put seats on Hill 16.

"I don't think anyone would be in favour of that. So hopefully, people will start to behave themselves," he said.
