Anthony Nolan’s inconsistency confused and angered Cork

We all know the biggest bugbear about GAA officiating is inconsistency and there was a classic case of it in Páirc Uí Chaoimh on Saturday. For the same infringement, Anthony Nolan made three different calls.

Jack Barry should have been booked for a late tackle on Ian Maguire but wasn’t. Brian Hurley then picked up a yellow card for the same challenge on Stephen O’Brien. But to make matters worse Paul Geaney did the same thing and was shown a black card.
