McGeeney: Three ills killing our game

THE following interview comes with a disclaimer. Kieran McGeeney insisted on it. “You are going to write about this again and people are going to say, ‘Jeez, does McGeeney never shut up about referees’. I hope you put in the fact that you asked the questions. I don’t volunteer this information.”

Just this once then, Kieran. But his insistence on the context is understandable. At the same VHI Cúl Camp launch last year, he complained about the inconsistency of whistleblowers.

And at yesterday’s event in Croke Park he was in a similar mood to cite what he believes are the ailments of officiating in inter-county Gaelic football.
