McCarthy: referees targeting Donal Óg

GERALD McCarthy wasn’t mincing his words after Saturday’s game.

“I’ll be quite blunt, I was quite disappointed the referee issued the first yellow card to Donal Óg. The second one – he had to go then, but I was very disappointed. But Donal Óg gave a few words to the lads before they went back out onto the field for the second half, and I tell you, it was heartwarming.

“There was no question with the second yellow, but the first one . . . I think Donal Óg is being targeted a bit, by certain referees, and I think that’s unfair on the man.”
