Spillane has sympathy for referees
March 15, 2022
The dreaded red card.
Pat Spillane says he has sympathy for referees who can't be expected to get every decision right.
The Kerry great was speaking on the RTÉ GAA Podcast after Tipperary match official Sean Lonergan flashed 18 cards in last Sunday's Allianz Football League Division 2 drawn encounter between Derry and Roscommon at Hyde Park, including 14 yellow, two red and two black cards.
"I do feel sorry for them," he said.
"I know every night we are on League Sunday or doing The Sunday Game there are instances of yellow cards and red cards. We really have to rerun the piece one, two, three, four times before we can make a definitive decision.
"Even at that, we’re still not sure."
