It looks like the controversial Laois v Armagh All-Ireland SFC Qualifier match is set to be replayed.

The offending subsitution was when Shane Murphy replaced Brendan Quigley in injury-time, a move that broke the rule under the GAA regulations that warns a "replay or fine" or even the "award of game" may be a punishment for transgressions.

RTE are reporting that discussions regarding a date and venue are ongoing while both have accepted the replay, which would have to take place some time this weekend due to the impending next round of the qualifiers.
