Tipp boss takes Bannon to task

Tipperary chairman Sean Nugent has slammed Irish Examiner columnist John Bannon for remarks made about the team in Monday’s newspaper.

Nugent took exception to the former inter-county referee’s comments that Tipperary were the prominent agitators in Sunday’s All-Ireland semi-final.

“I’ve read John Bannon’s column on the referee and I thought he very, very unfairly singled out Tipperary as the aggressors in the situation,” Nugent told Tipp Mid West Radio.
