Horan wants black card clarity to avoid ‘anarchy’

Mayo manager James Horan wants GAA referees’ chief Pat McEnaney to review the black card ruling before the National League begins to prevent “anarchy” taking place in matches.

The former All Star believes individual referees are interpreting the black card rule differently and in order to prevent “crazy” decisions being made in the league the matter must be addressed.

“I assume that is something the refs will do and Pat McEnaney will do,” he said after watching Kevin McLoughlin and Kevin Keane being sent to the line with black cards during his side’s 2-8 to 1-11 draw with IT Sligo on Sunday.
