Black card is here to stay, says Aogán Ó Fearghail

There is no chance of the black card being ditched from Gaelic football, according to GAA president Aogán Ó Fearghail.

The Cavan man is aware of the outcry against the disciplinary measure in the wake of the All-Ireland series but doesn’t see any reason to remove it from the game.

“The black card is there, it’s part of our rules. I don’t see any possibility of the black card suddenly being dispensed with because of one or two or even more incidents. It’s part of the playing rules of the GAA.
