Maughan fury over Mortimer ban

MAYO manager John Maughan last night blasted Croke Park’s Central Disciplinary Committee for their “lack of consistency” in penalising players for wrong-doings, and suggested that Mayo were now perceived as a “soft touch”.

Maughan is furious that the committee had to wait until Wednesday night to issue a suspension to one of his star players, Trevor Mortimer, arising from an incident in the Connacht final defeat to Galway.

A four weeks suspension from the date of that game rules Mortimer out of tomorrow's fourth round Football Championship qualifier against Cavan in Dr. Hyde Park for which there has been a change of referee.
