McGee explained to The Belfast Telegraph: "They will be rid of the burden of having to use the second yellow card, which they are all reluctant to do.
"There will be no black cards this time next year because the managers will tell players 'you can't do it.'"
The black card will come into effect in gaelic football next January and the Longford man expects that there will be some teething problems as players, managers and referees alike adjust to the new rules.
"There will be all hell to pay in January and February I suppose but it doesn't matter, it's a fait accompli.
"Not like previous years when we experimented; the experimenting is done. It takes two-thirds to change it. It's not going to happen." Tweet
