Spoke to ones at it most said was not a red and one said he had time to pull out of the stroke?
Funny enough yesterday game i did I'd 2 unintentional clashes of sticks around the face guard, I gave a yellow for both and explained why, no hassle with it, both players got up fairly quickly and didn't make a meal of it
Seen the Galway players face after the game and he certainly had a cut on his nose, maybe the blood made up his mind? faceguards could be better though, some lads noses are sitting on the wire lol!
Anyway, by the ruling its down to a few factors recklessness with the hurl, intent to strike and so on, you could make an argument to find any decision to send him off. Maybe he was just looking a handy second half
I think the hurling helmet may have had something to do with it. (google images: conor whelan) he seems to have a a helmet that doesnt really cover his face, definitely unothordox use of the faceguard. Harsh on mcgarry, ref made a balls and ruined what was up until then a good game.
that said it was probably only a matter of time before galway pulled away.
Everyone looking forward to Gleeson's last game? (only slegging flip sake, calm down)
