Keher says showing cards ‘pompous and triumphalist’ by refs

Eddie Keher has explained part of his reasoning against yellow and red cards is the “pompous” manner in which referees brandish them to hurlers.

The Kilkenny legend revealed in this newspaper last month details of his document to rid hurling of the cards system, which he has presented to GAA president Liam O’Neill.

On foot of it and Brian Cody’s support for Keher, O’Neill has promised a forum on hurling, the details of which will be decided on at Friday’s Central Council meeting.
