Sligo manager Kevin Walsh believes that cynical fouling is running the game of football.

Walsh was speaking after his junior side had been beaten by Cork in the All-Ireland semi final and the Galway native feels it is time that the GAA acted on the matter.

"In my view cynical fouls should result in a straight red card and a sending off," stressed Walsh. "The professional foul is creeping into the game and it's something that has to be addressed.

"Referees should use their own initiatives in these cases. A cynical foul should result in a red card and a sending off. Maybe the rules have to be looked at. It's something that's come into the game a lot this season and it needs to be addressed." Tweet
