Earley fears black day for GAA

The Football Review Committee (FRC) has warned the GAA will broadcast a tolerance of cynical play should Congress fail to endorse the black card proposal in Derry this weekend.

With Cork, Limerick, Tipperary and several Ulster counties against the recommendation, two of the FRC’s members, Tony Scullion and Paul Earley, are concerned it won’t receive the required two-thirds majority.

Derry’s 1993 All-Ireland-winning defender Scullion and former Roscommon player Earley claim some county boards are not in touch with the grassroots who are adamantly against cynical play.
