Stop video review policy, says former ref Collins

ANOTHER high-profile former referee has hit out at the GAA’s policy of requesting match officials to revisit controversial decisions made during games.

Paddy Collins is the author of two motions put forward by his club St Loman’s and adopted unanimously by the Westmeath board to be discussed at Congress in April, which if passed, will prevent a referee having to deal with an incident after a game.

Longford, at the proposal of another retired inter-county ref John Bannon, and his club Legan Sarsfields, also have a motion going before Congress on the same issue.
