Galway hurling manager Micheál Donoghue has said there are “too many loopholes” in the black card rule.

While not wanting to comment on Clare forward Peter Duggan being tripped by Nickie Quaid in the final quarter of Sunday’s All-Ireland semi-final, for which the Limerick goalkeeper received yellow not black, the Galway boss said the issue with the black card rule is the inconsistency of its application.
