No matter what way Pat O'Shea dresses up Paul Galvin's sending off yesterday the Kerry manager has to be privately very disappointed.
A captain is supposed to lead by example not knock the ref's notebook out of his hands and get involved with a team mate on the way off the pitch.
Galvin is a very fired-up personality at the best of times.
This year he has struggled to get back on the team after injury and the honour of leading his team will have brought its own problems as he is never anything if not serious about the game.
If he gets the three months he should, and I wouldn't bet on that happening, he will be a huge loss to his team.
Physically he was one of the first Kerry players in 2004 to match the Ulster sides toe to toe, fighting fire with fire.
The Kingdom are a better side than they were four years ago when Kerry's current run of success was reborn after three particularly bad years but Galvin will still be missed if he gets the punishment his actions deserve.
