Sean Walsh: denies intimidating referee after Ó Sé dismissal.

Walsh admitted yesterday to approaching match official, Tom McCarthy, at half-time and exchanging words on the matter, but he claims he merely said: “that it was unfortunate that it was not a yellow card.”

Mr Walsh denies that he told the ref “that he should have yellow-carded the player and asked for him to be taken off,” as was claimed yesterday. However, he accepted that such behaviour was inappropriate given the circumstances and his position as chairman of the county board.
