It's to indicate that Clare had a player sent off

Are you serious ? I see. What would happen if they had 2 or 3 players sent off. Would we see 3 red bars? Where / how did you figure this out? I've never seen it before.

It's a red card.

Dunno what would happen if there were multiple sendings off

They use it in rugby coverage as well to show when a player is sin-binned, yellow card shows up for the ten mins

Sky go further in rugby and actually have a ticking clock to show how longs left on the sin bin - though they get rid of it should multiple players find themselves off simultaneously.

yes

it's a recent development in sport on TV

as mentioned it's on rugby too

a recent english rugby game on BT had 3 sendings off and a couple of yellow cards and all were shown
