‘I thought the ref was Dick Turpin without a mask’

LOUTH boss Peter Fitzpatrick last night insisted that if the GAA have ‘any decency’ they will replay yesterday’s Leinster SFC final.

The tie ended in controversy after referee Martin Sludden awarded an injury-time goal to Meath but tv replays showed that Joe Sheridan carried the ball over the line.

Fitzpatrick also claimed that if referee Martin Sludden ‘has any balls’ he will admit that he should not have awarded the goal and claimed the whistle-blower instructed his umpires to raise the green flag.
