Ref justice for Harte’s Red Hand

TYRONE manager Mickey Harte was left fuming yesterday by the timing of referee Martin Higgins’ full-time whistle after a nip-and-tuck relegation dogfight that finally swung Monaghan’s way.

The visitors were two points down deep into stoppage time when the Fermanagh official awarded them a free within kicking distance of the home posts and Dermot Carlin duly slotted over a point.

Higgins called for the ball as soon as the white flag was raised and was duly approached by a handful of aggrieved Tyrone players, as well as by Harte who made his way onto the pitch to make his point.
