    Lads settle this for me once and for all, since the introduction of the black card the two man tackle is now non existent as long as neither of the tackling players are fouling

    Yay or nay?

    The Tackle is a skill by which a player may dispossess an opponent or frustrate his objective within the Rules of Fair Play. The tackle is aimed at the ball, not the player. The tackler may use his body to confront the opponent but deliberate bodily contact (such as punching, slapping, arm holding, pushing, tripping, jersey pulling or a full frontal charge) is forbidden. The only deliberate physical contact can be a Fair Charge i.e. Shoulder-to-shoulder with at least one foot on the ground. More than one player can tackle the player in possession.

    The black card has nothing to do with two man tackles. The redefinition of the tackle as above should clear it up for you.

    Amazing how inconsistent refereeing around this can be.
    Or maybe not amazing at all.

    I remember the semi-final a few years back when Cork beat Tyrone, and the ref seemed to treat it as a foul every time more than one player tackled.

    That's because it was a foul. The change I highlighted only came into effect on 1st January 2014.

    Its amazing how much people are willing to comment and give out about referees when they themselves don't know the rules.
