After the game, Peter Canavan discussed the card, and while he criticised the actions of Jamie Clarke, he was of the opinion that the game was already lost.
It looked like a blatant strike. Marty Clarke called in his commentary where it's blatant frustration, and you're training hard all year, and it's the end of the game, and Trillick firmly on top.
There'll be nobody more frustrated than Jamie Clarke himself. The game was gone before that. It wasn't a turning point in the match.
