Mayo Get A Dubious Penalty as Tyrone Receive Black Card. Was It Deserved?
Mayo and Tyrone faced each other in the 4th round of the Allianz league in Healy Park on Saturday Night.
Jordan Flynn ran through on goal on the 22′ minute before he was bundled over by Cormac Quinn, who received a black card for the challenge. The referee Brendan Cawley (Kildare) deemed the foul to be inside the box and gave Mayo a penalty.
