Meyler: TV, not assessors, to blame for ref pressure

WEXFORD boss John Meyler agrees with Brian Cody’s claim that referees are under too much pressure — but feels television, and not match assessors, is the main culprit.

Many feel the time has come to use technology to decide on key moments in games but Meyler believes that those same cameras may be causing referees to adopt a conservative approach.

“There is more pressure on referees and a lot of that is down to the amount of analysis,” he explained yesterday.
