O'Sullivan rues dismissals

August 23, 2010
Kerry O'Sullivan was critical of Offaly referee Damien Brazil after he sent off three Kerry players in the second half of Saturday's All-Ireland JFC final defeat to Sligo.

The Kingdom boss also lamented the loss of former senior star Aodan MacGearailt through injury after just 11 minutes.

"Losing Aodan did disrupt us," he said.

"He has been a huge influence all the year and considering the bad start we got off to, his experience might have helped us through that.

"But we think the sendings off were harsh. I don't think the referee allowed fully for the way the conditions were out there. In most of those cases, the players were committed to the ball. In the same instance, they made contact with an opponent but I think the intention all the time was to play the ball."
