Brian McIver may face action after David Coldrick’s criticism

Referee David Coldrick could be at the centre of a second derogatory comments case after Brian McIver’s post-match interviews in Omagh on Saturday.

Brian McIver may face action after David Coldrick’s criticism

The Derry manager was frustrated with the Meath official’s decision to award a last-gasp free against his son Michael McIver for a foul on Tyrone’s Tiernan McCann, which Darren McCurry converted to deny the visitors a victory. McIver said: “The free kick at the end, we had turned the ball over and our man was fouled on the way out. It should have been a free to us and it’s game over. It was a hometown decision.”

McIver made the same “hometown” comment in an interview with RTÉ’s League Sunday and it may be interpreted by the Central Competitions Control Committee that he called the integrity of Coldrick into question.
