Horan says sideline rules ‘ridiculous’

James Horan has added to the growing list of managers vehemently against the sideline regulations.

The Mayo manager had his doctor and physio beside him at pitch-side for part of Saturday’s game in Croke Park as they assessed injuries although only one medic is permitted. He lambasted the stipulation limiting each team to five personnel on the sideline.

“The rule is absolutely ridiculous. I was delighted to read some of the Kilkenny comments and even the doctors. I think they’re people to listen to.
