Kiely deserved his black card

(Oldest Posts First)

Nothing against the lad, but Im sick and tired of listening to people like Tommy carr and countless others slag off the ref for black carding Robbie Kiely against Mayo.
We give refs alot of stick for getting things wrong,lets not do it when they get them right, eh?
A black card is a black card, no matter whether its 8 minutes or 8 seconds or 70 minutes into a game.
He knew the rules before the ball was thrown in, it was a clear black card offence, sorry guys, but let him take his punishment.

I agree that if someone does something that's a black card offence he should receive a black card regardless of when it happens.

I don't agree that Kiely's was a black card. It didn't seem deliberate to me.

It wasn't a black card.

Agree NO black card - this is why it needs to be scrapped - sooner the better.

It was a deliberate pull down. Black card offense. Not clumsy, or a coming together as I heard it described. Timing of the incident should not be considered or how long it's been since the players team had taken part in a semi final. Very hard on player but correct call
