flag Cork's Ben O'Connor says GAA rule changes are harming hurling’s spirit, citing unfair penalties and player send-offs.

flag Cork manager Ben O'Connor criticized RTÉ and GAA officials, claiming his post-match comments were misrepresented, and expressed concern that hurling is adopting soccer-style rules like strict penalties, restricted communication, and harsh punishments for minor infractions. flag He argued these changes, driven by GAA officials rather than referees, are eroding the sport’s traditional spirit and authenticity, citing the sending off of two players after a brawl as an example of disproportionate enforcement. flag O'Connor emphasized his call for balanced, player-focused decision-making and a return to natural gameplay, not personal attacks on officials.
