McKeever ‘headhunted’ claim nonsense, says GAA

The GAA has emphatically dismissed Ciarán McKeever’s astonishing claim that he has been “headhunted” by match officials.

The Armagh defender recently finished serving a four-week ban for a verbal incident against Louth in March when, in his capacity as team runner (he had been injured), he was sent off after an altercation with Brian White who was attempting to take a free kick.

“The most annoying point for me is, and I am not afraid to say it, in January I knew I was being head hunted,” blasted McKeever.
