McGuinness in favour of All-Ireland final ban dispensation

Jim McGuinness is in favour of the FRC’s proposal to treat All-Ireland finals as a special case in the disciplinary process.

Under the amendments announced this week, players who pick up three black cards in a season will serve a one-match ban — except if that game happens to be an All-Ireland final.

Although it could be perceived as a move designed to favour the elite teams, McGuinness agrees with the amnesty for All-Ireland finals.
