Citing board way to deal with discipline, says former top ref

The man who refereed the Kerry-Tyrone All-Ireland final 10 years ago has called for the GAA to establish a citing board to deal promptly with disciplinary issues such as feigning.

Kildare man Mick Monahan believes cynicism continues to “destroy” the game despite the introduction of the black card last year.

Because he feels referees find it difficult to ascertain simulation, he says it shouldn’t be left entirely up to them to decide whether a player is faking or augmenting a foul to win a free or have an opponent punished.
