Derek McGrath vows to ‘move on’ after ghost goal furore

Waterford manager Derek McGrath said he didn’t confront referee Alan Kelly at the end of yesterday’s game with Tipperary though his players were incensed by Kelly’s awarding of a goal from a Jason Forde free in the second half.

“No, I didn’t. I probably had other lads doing that by the looks of it,” said McGrath.

“There seemed to be a reaction to the referee at the end. Look, I think these decisions are made in good faith. I think they are made on the spur of the moment and I think we have to — not embrace those decisions, whilst we might be disappointed in decisions we have to be just aware of the fact that they are making the decisions in good faith. And I think it was a decision made in good faith.
