Paddy Russell: Sin bin better than black card

Paddy Russell believes there is merit in replacing the black card automatic substitution with a sin-bin penalty.

The former inter-county football referee also backs the idea of video evidence being used so as to ensure such decisions are made with the benefit of views from all angles.

Tipperary man Russell accepts some of black cards decision have been “confusing”, remarking Tyrone’s Cathal McShane was unfortunate to be dismissed in last Sunday’s Ulster final.
