Ref chief angry at red card reversals

The head of the GAA’s referees’ association, Pat McEnaney, has described the recent rescinding of red cards as “very disappointing”.

The Monaghan native was speaking in Tralee on Saturday morning and was reacting to the news that Castlebar Mitchels’ Barry Moran had his Connacht club final red card overturned by the Connacht Council the previous night.

“It’s very disappointing from where I sit,” said McEnaney. “The message I always try to get across to referees is that we do our job to the best of our ability. I don’t care what happens afterwards in committee meetings.
