Cody upset by referee questioning

BRIAN CODY yesterday expressed his annoyance with the line of questioning when he was interviewed by RTÉ’s Marty Morrissey after Sunday’s All-Ireland final.

The Kilkenny boss was visibly exasperated after the match when Morrissey asked him for his opinion of referee Diarmuid Kirwan’s display and the awarding of a controversial penalty to Kilkenny in the closing stages.

“Did I sound annoyed? Yeah I was. It was, to me, a question that I didn’t understand to be honest. I saw no point whatsoever in it. Marty does his job. He asked the question, and if I answered it as I saw fit, so be it. Suddenly you’re there having won the All-Ireland final, four-in-a-row, and the question turned to maybe a poor display of refereeing.
