I think Cooper was concussed 90 seconds later when he got the black card. Massive swing in Mayos direction. Thankfully they have dud players such as COC so didnt take advantage
Seems like it’s only a few cranks on TFK who think Small deserved a straight red. The TV footage was clear cut in showing two of them grappling and confirmed what I saw watching it live in the stand. None of the pundits on the highlights show made an issue of it either.
In light of all that went on in Mayo after the replay loss to Dublin last year and the reputed catalyst for it, it’ll be interesting to see how the decision to drop Clarke and recall Hennelly plays out over the winter. Badly, I would anticipate. I’d imagine Noel Connelly and Pat Holmes were wryly amused by it all last night.
