Dr Crokes face probe over tweet

The Munster Council will quiz the Dr Crokes club over an insulting tweet posted on the Killarney side’s official Twitter account on Sunday.

Munster Council PRO Ed Donnelly told the Irish Examiner he was “very disappointed” with the tweet and that it “reflected badly on the Munster Council, the referee and Dr Crokes”.

The tweet, posted minutes after Dr Crokes’ 0-13 to 0-12 Munster Club SFC win over Cratloe, read: “Are Munster Council taking the piss appointing that ref#muppet from Cork.” The referee of Sunday’s game was Cork’s Conor Lane from the Banteer club. Lane is a highly-respected official who refereed this year’s All-Ireland minor football final.
