Card concerns as club refs dealt poor hand

An increase in diving and feigning injuries is one of the primary concerns club referees have about the black card, according to the Gaelic Match Officials Association (GMOA).

Earlier this week, the unofficial referees and umpires body asked members their thoughts on the new recommendation.

While the GMOA are concerned the club referee will be “on his own” to enforce the black card whereas there are eight neutral officials at inter-county games.
