Jack Sheedy rages at Longford red card

Longford 0-11 Kildare 2-24: Just last week, Offaly manager Pat Flanagan asserted that so-called weaker counties consistently got the short end of the stick when it came to getting decisions against teams with higher profiles.

This week, his Longford counterpart, Jack Sheedy implied the same.

The fact that Kildare provided the opposition on both occasions was just coincidence, although many might have questioned Kildare’s status as a stronger county given their relegation to Division 3 in the spring.
