Flanagan: Ref’s decisions cost us victory

Pat Flanagan slammed Martin Higgins’ performance in Mullingar yesterday and claimed some of his decisions cost Westmeath a famous “four or five point” win over Kerry.

He described the Fermanagh referee’s decision to award the free against Ronan Foley from which Colm Cooper set up Kerry’s second goal as “crazy”.

Foley was whistled by Higgins for over-carrying the ball close to the sideline in the 42nd minute.
