McGee says teams will adapt to avoid black cards

Football Review Committee chairman Eugene McGee believes teams will learn to keep down the number of black cards in games.

Speaking at the GAA’s games development conference in Croke Park over the weekend, McGee defended the proposal, which has been criticised by inter-county managers.

Even though there is a provision in the recommendation for teams being punished for picking up more than three black cards in a game, McGee can’t see many infringing that much.
