GAA warning Louth and clear

The GAA have warned that comments made by inter-county players on Twitter can be considered as bringing the organisation into disrepute.

After a number of Louth footballers used the social network platform to vent their fury at referee Derek Fahy’s performance in Saturday’s qualifier defeat by Westmeath, the Association confirmed their members are expected to be conscious that their outbursts don’t show disregard to the GAA.

While inter-county referees meet tomorrow night to discuss an admittedly difficult weekend for match officials, Croke Park have said tweets by players are regarded the same as remarks made in print, TV and radio.
