Definitely on a thread about discipline today.
I would like to see the GAA to specify a number of games for red cards rather than the current system of four weeks or three months or any other period of time.
If a club player is sent off at the end of the season then a four-week ban is meaningless and because our fixture list is such a mess a four-week ban for one player can mean three or even four matches off while in the months of June or July in our county you may miss only one game.
I would also like to see people suspended when they have been hit with a sending off for a double yellow card.
If the rules were specific every player would be treated exactly the same with the same impact for all.
The current set up is not fair and the three-month ban which I saw one club player get for handbags drawn, ne'er a blow was struck despite the intent, should only be reserved for the worst tackles or examples of striking.
We hand out punishments much more severe at times than professional sports and it might serve us better if we looked again at the range of punishments available to the disciplinary committees.
