Louth could not have asked for a worse start in their All-Ireland quarter-final against Monaghan at Croke Park today.
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.
