Hurling becoming more cynical, warns Slaughtneil’s Karl McKaigue

Slaughtneil’s Karl McKaigue has bemoaned the lack of a black card in hurling following Saturday’s All-Ireland club semi-final defeat to Na Piarsaigh.

The Limerick and Munster champions had two men dismissed on their way to seeing off Slaughtneil by seven points in Parnell Park, while Mike Casey brought Brendan Rogers to the ground for the Derry club’s first-half penalty.

McKaigue felt it would have been a black-card dismissal for the Na Piarsaigh full-back had it been a football game and highlighted another incident in the second half where he believed Rogers was unfairly treated.
