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.
I think this is a red card for Hogan, it’s rash and reckless, the ref nails it with the help of his officials.
BUT - it has to be said Cathal Barrett really got away with that loose swing of the hurl on Hogan in the first 10 minutes that drew blood! #GAApic.twitter.com/ucABoiCW9b
