When you give card a name must be taken

A technical oversight was apparent in two of the big hurling games over the weekend.

When you give card a name must be taken

In the Cork-Clare game, Shane O’Donnell was rightly yellow carded but his name wasn’t taken. The same occurred in the previous match between Dublin and Limerick when Chris Crummey and Kevin Downes were shown cards but again they weren’t asked for their identities. It might seem like a small thing but it’s not following procedure.

Those games in Thurles on Saturday were more eventful than yesterday’s Munster final. In the 71st minute in the Cork-Clare game, Bill Cooper should have been yellow carded for using provocative language against O’Donnell.
