Referee spokesman has sin bin reservations

REFEREES’ representative Fr Seamus Gardiner has voiced concerns over the experimental football rules introduced at the weekend.

The sin bin encountered widespread criticism from players and managers after the O’Byrne Cup games across Leinster and Fr Gardiner is not surprised.

“When I saw the new rules, I was concerned about how some of them could be put into practice. I did feel at the time some would be very difficult to implement.
