Tipperary secretary's report: Jason Forde was found ‘guilty by association’

Tipperary GAA secretary Tim Floyd has claimed that Jason Forde was found “guilty by association” earlier this year when he served a one-match suspension for his infamous clash with Davy Fitzgerald.

Forde was initially hit with a proposed two-match ban, and Wexford boss Fitzgerald eight weeks, after their high profile coming together in the Allianz League semi-finals at Nowlan Park.

Floyd, writing in his report to the upcoming Tipperary annual convention, described Forde’s role in the incident as “trivial”.
