Footage shows clearly red card was the correct decision. Fans might be confused as Dublin get away with everything in croke park

Carlow - top of D4.
Wins over Antrim and Wicklow are a good start. If they can build on this impressive start, a day out in Croke Park for the D4 final will be on the cards. If they are taking a pragmatic approach on Tailteann prospects, making the Tailteann semi finals in Croke Park can also be on their radar at least.

How does the footage show that the decision was correct. What was the red card sanction for?

D2 is so exciting as teams strive to 'get in' to Sam.
Wouldn't it be so much better if D1 teams were subject to such jeopardy too - a Top 16 (mix up D1 & D2), with say, 8 advancing to Sam?

The prize for remaining in D1 is virtually guaranteeing All Ireland qualification next year. D1 status is hard earned and hard to retain.
