It’s time we blew the whistle on abuse of refs
I spoke to a nice man in Elverys in Limerick City yesterday. He told me that the standard breed of referee’s whistle used to control GAA games, and produced by Elverys themselves is called The Rival and still costs a mere €4!
For what becomes a lethal weapon when the chips are down and the blood heated up at club or county level that has to be considered very good value in today’s terms.
