Bosses air card concerns

Mickey Harte took a thinly-veiled swipe at supporters of the Football Review Committee’s (FRC) black card proposal after it was backed by Congress in Derry on Saturday.

Speaking after Tyrone’s win over Kildare yesterday, Harte’s tongue was very much in his cheek when asked about the recommendation, which he had strenuously argued against, being made a rule from January 1 next year.

“I’m not very interested in this at this stage,” he said. “The people who wanted what they got, got what they wanted. I’m glad. It seemed it was going to be emotionally distressing for lots of people if it hadn’t gone through, so I’m quite glad that didn’t happen.”
