Bosses call on referees to be more consistent

MORE consistency in refereeing and greater consultation!

The call came yesterday from inter county managers at the launch of the Bank of Ireland football championship. Kerry coach Pat O’Shea articulated the frustration of players in relation to being either ‘ticked’ or yellow carded for particular incidents by one referee and not by another.

But he accepted players had a responsibility not to let their team-mates down and, from a Kerry perspective, this entailed living up to set standards.
