Referee Ciaran Branagan's interpretation of the black card rule was one of the main talking points following Kerry's impressive Munster SFC final dismantling of Cork at Pairc Ui Chaoimh this evening…

Terrible decision to give Deane a black card. Cork struggling enough without the ref making those kinda calls!!

Cork are hopeless, the referee is hapless but Kerry, in fairness, have a raft of proper players. #CorkVKerry

Always was and continues to be an embarrassing rule in our game. What other physical field sport in the world does a player get permanently sent off for one, often innocuous, challenge? None..!! #blackcard #kerrycork

Ref shouldn't get any more games for rest of the c'ship.

Text book wing forward play feeding the shooter on the loop. Nonsense referee

Watching this game has made me realise that Gaelic football is just so hard to ref. #CorkvKerry

Vital there that Brannigan covered his mouth when talking to the other officials
