Casey: Red card those who touch injured players

Top physiotherapist John Casey has called on the GAA to invoke a rule dismissing players who interfere with injured opponents.

During the first half of Sunday’s Allianz Football League Division 1 final, Cork’s Noel O’Leary attempted to lift Mayo defender Donal Vaughan after he was tripped and his head and neck collided full force with Eoin Cadogan. Vaughan was flat out after the nasty impact but O’Leary seemingly believed he was feigning injury.

Current Tipperary hurling and former Munster rugby physio Casey said such actions could result in a serious injury if done to a prone player.
