Louth star sees red inside 10 minutes after controversial hit

Not what they needed...

The Wee County were put down to 14 men inside seven minutes after Sean Callaghan was sent off for a huge hit on Oisín McGorman.

While Hurson may not have meant to do it, it is a red card by the letter of the law.

The commentators felt this way too, but some fans thought the punishment was harsh.

Games gone absolute farce
