Paddy Joe Ryan calls for injury-time guidelines

Waterford chairman Paddy Joe Ryan has called on the National Referees Committee to issue stricter time-keeping guidelines to end disputes over the amount of injury-time allotted.

The Waterford footballers lost to Longford on Sunday and manager Tom McGlinchey was furious referee Shane Hehir awarded only one minute of stoppages at the end of the second-half.

An injury sustained by Waterford’s Michael O’Halloran held up the contest for over two minutes. Along with the five substitutions and two red cards, McGlinchey was baffled as to why more time wasn’t played.
