Brian Gavin: Brown's black card was extremely harsh on him - and Limerick

Black cards were the big talking points from both of yesterday’s All-Ireland SFC qualifiers and I do have sympathy for Limerick’s Gordon Brown.

Referee Jerome Henry didn’t see it, he was relying on linesman Maurice Deegan to inform him that Brown body collided with a Cork opponent but it looked a severe sanction on the replay and even harsher on Limerick as they conceded 1-3 with him off the field. Jerome should have been picking up an incident like that himself.
