Darran O’Sullivan lashes out at ‘joke’ All-Ireland semi-final black card

Kerry star Darran O’Sullivan has described his black card dismissal against Mayo and subsequent one-match suspension as a “joke”.

The veteran attacker and 2009 All-Ireland-winning captain lasted just nine minutes on the pitch after his half-time introduction during last month’s semi-final replay loss.

Referee David Gough, who dished out 19 cards on the afternoon, showed O’Sullivan black in the 44th minute, apparently on the advice of one of his officials.
