Video ref is worth trialling, reckons DRA lawyer Jack Anderson

The use of video evidence during live GAA games is worth trialling, according to outgoing Disputes Resolution Authority (DRA) secretary Jack Anderson.

The Belfast-based Doon native, who is moving from Queens University to become Professor of Sports Law in the University of Melbourne from July 1, is in the process of handing over the reins to former Offaly hurler Rory Hanniffy who will begin his position on Monday.

As part of a wide-ranging interview in tomorrow’s Irish Examiner, Anderson sees no reason why the GAA can’t at least experiment with the use of video evidence.
