RED OR NOT?

Kilkenny went down to 14 men in the All-Ireland hurling final after Richie Hogan was given his marching orders in the 33rd minute.

It was a late, high challenge on Cathal Barrett down the Hogan Stand corner of Croke Park, and replays indicate an elbow was thrown. James Owen adjudged it as a red card.

Deliberate or not though, that’s the question. 

And there was plenty of discussion in the RTÉ studio at half-time.

“It’s a red card. It’s elbow to head. That’s why the rules are there,” Dónal Óg Cusack said. Henry Shefflin wasn’t just as sure.
