Brandishing of cards has ‘gone crazy’, says Cody

Kilkenny boss Brian Cody was left baffled by the decision to dismiss Henry Shefflin in Thurles yesterday.

“I wouldn’t talk about the Cork players but as regards yellow cards, it has gone crazy. It has gone mad altogether. But if that is the way they want it, that is the way they like it.

“I have no idea why Henry Shefflin got two yellow cards. The second one was so clear to me; there was a Cork player falling down, his hurl was very low and when a player falls, the hurl obviously ends up around his neck but Henry didn’t put the hurl up there, the person put his body down into it.
