Cork manager Pat Ryan says referees have to be “100% sure” when they are sending off players.

Ahead of Sunday’s sold-out Allianz Division 1A final against Tipperary in SuperValu Páirc Uí Chaoimh, which will be officiated by Seán Stack, Ryan believes a number of sendings off in recent weeks have been questionable.
