Coldrick correct with Keegan red card call

David Coldrick succeeded in getting a high percentage of calls right in yesterday’s All-Ireland semi-final.

The red card shown to Lee Keegan was correct. Any attempt to kick with minimal force is a red card offence, and I’d be shocked if Mayo were able to overturn what’s likely to be a one-match suspension.

The penalty decision was also right. Peter Crowley shouldered Donie Vaughan in the back and it merited a yellow card. Mayo fans around me felt it was a black card offence but just because it was a goal-scoring opportunity doesn’t necessarily mean the player should be issued a black card.
