The issuing of red and black cards needs a review in the new Gaelic football world.
That’s the thoughts of four-time All-Ireland football final referee David Coldrick.
Coldrick thinks the football review committee will need to look at a rule which allows teams who have received a red or black card not to have to keep three players in the opposition half.
Donegal manager Jim McGuinness said it was “farcical” that his team had to keep three players back when Galway were reduced to 13 men in their loss to the Tribesmen on Sunday.
Coldrick feels the rule is not adequately punishing teams who receive cards:
The Allianz football league continues this weekend with round five fixtures. Mayo take on Kerry, Armagh face Dublin, Galway host Tyrone and Derry are away to Donegal in division 1.
In division 2; Cavan host Down, Roscommon travel to Cork, Louth are up against Monaghan and Westmeath taking on Meath.

Whereas, Waterford host Wexford, Limerick host Tipperary, Longford travel to London and Carlow making the trip to Wicklow in the division 4 fixtures.
