Time is now to review black card fiasco

A number of prominent Gaelic footballers have called for the black card to be reviewed in the wake of a series of questionable decisions relating to it in this year’s All-Ireland series.

Joining Jim Gavin and James McCarthy, their fellow Dubliner Philly McMahon, Kerry’s Darran O’Sullivan and Ryan McCluskey of Fermanagh all believe change is required.

It’s understood a proposal to amend the parameters of the black card may be put forward before the end of the year with referees expected to discuss it in their championship debriefing this week.
