Timing is everything if sin bin is to be a success, insists Earley

Introduce the clock/hooter system or today’s sin bin proposal risks being a disaster, warns former Football Review Committee (FRC) member Paul Earley.

Twice the clock/hooter has been voted in by Congress, first as recommended by Wexford and then by the FRC, only to be shot down by the Central Competitions Control Committee and then voted out by Congress despite county grounds being fitted with the technology.
