The shoulder into the chest of a man who had given a hand pass and was running forward is now almost a thing of the past thanks mainly to the black card


I wish that were true. Played a match yesterday were this happened 6 times. 1st time, black card, 2nd & 3rd nothing, 4th and 5th yellow cards, 6th nothing. All fouls committed by the same team. Consistency?

1715617 Cynical play still needs to be punished so the Black Card should be replaced with the Sin bin. But intercounty managers didn't like that because their cynical tactics actually got punished.

Black card suits teams with big squads and doesn't stop the dragging back of players in the last 10 mins.

10 min sin bin for same offences with suspension from next match would fairly sort it out.

I agree with this, the sinbin would be a great deterrent for a whole raft of offences not just cynical play.

the offences for a black card should be broadened to include pulling back a player breaking in on goal. Part of the problem is refs not wanting the hassle of it and "fans" not knowing the rules. Cynical play per say isn't necessarily a black card ie pulling a jersey to stop a player and refs have to be sure the offence was deliberate.

I have seen many black card offences this season,but the offender has got a yellow card,I have also seen some very harsh black cards dished out.

GET RID OF IT!

Black card is great, the only change I would bring in is what Colm O'Rourke suggested which is no sub in the last quarter.
