Refs need more time – not grief

It’s getting silly now. No, we don’t mean the administration of the black card in championship games. Joe McQuillan has shown himself like David Coldrick to be quite the human. Boo. Shame on him.

Refs need more time – not grief

No, we refer to the preposterous call in one newspaper over the weekend to sideline Coldrick from all big games for the remainder of the season based on his error in Omagh.

The writer in question unfairly highlighted Coldrick as “a media darling” and said he should be punished for the Conor Maginn misjudgement as well as the decision to provide Tyrone with what turned out to be their equalising free. Interestingly, that’s not something Down have made an issue of themselves.
