It’s time to ban the bigmouths, declares Conor Counihan

Players found guilty of sledging should be hit with a one-match suspension, according to Cork’s 2010 All-Ireland-winning football manager, Conor Counihan.

The current punishment for verbal abuse is a black card and Counihan believes more severe disciplinary measures are required.

“You need to be strong on these things, perhaps a one-match suspension would help cut out the verbals,” said Counihan.
