Letters to the Editor: Inconsistent refereeing in Gaelic games

Croke Park must address this situation and not turn a blind eye to what’s happening with regards to refereeing standards at the highest level of our national games. File Picture: Piaras Ó Mídheach/Sportsfile

Having watched quite a few Allianz football and hurling league games on television this past weekend, as well as attending the Louth v Cork game in Drogheda, I couldn’t help but notice the inconsistency in refereeing standards in a lot of games — in both hurling and football.

Players, management, supporters, and county boards invest too much time and effort into our games for inconsistency in the officiating of their weekend games.
