It was a late, high challenge on Cathal Barrett down the Hogan Stand corner of Croke Park, and replays indicate an elbow was thrown. James Owen adjudged it as a red card.
Deliberate or not though, that’s the question.
And there was plenty of discussion in the RTÉ studio at half-time.
I think this is a red card for Hogan, it’s rash and reckless, the ref nails it with the help of his officials.
BUT – it has to be said Cathal Barrett really got away with that loose swing of the hurl on Hogan in the first 10 minutes that drew blood! #GAA pic.twitter.com/ucABoiCW9b

“It’s a red card. It’s elbow to head. That’s why the rules are there,” Dónal Óg Cusack said. Henry Shefflin wasn’t just as sure.
What did you lot think at home?
Donal Og is adamant Richie Hogan should have been sent off. Henry Shefflin also admitted it didn't look good. #sundaygame #KKvTipp pic.twitter.com/PJj94nRfD2
