Black card change for jersey pull is 'nonsense' says McConville

It is one of a small number of proposed tweaks to the experimental rules which are up for decision at Special Congress.

Wicklow manager Oisín McConville has dismissed as “nonsense” a late Football Review Committee (FRC) change to the black card/penalty kick rule at inter-county level.

The Armagh 2002 All-Ireland SFC winner is strongly opposed to a jersey pull being added to the prescribed list of fouls incurring a 10-minute sin bin and a penalty kick to the opposing team.
