Walsh in hot water after criticism of ref

WATERFORD football manager Denis Walsh could be in hot water after critical comments about Galway referee Des Joyce’s handling of Sunday’s Munster SFC defeat by Tipperary at Walsh Park.

The former Cork dual All-Ireland star has made no attempt to conceal his disappointment at the Galway official’s overall performance, accusing him of giving many decisions that he simply failed to understand.

“I am devastated, but more so for the players than anyone else”, Walsh said. “At times I wondered if the referee was aware that there were two teams involved in the game.”
