Derek McGrath: Roll out goal technology nationwide

Former Waterford manager Derek McGrath has called on more sophisticated score detection technology to be installed at all county venues to ensure fairness.

In an exclusive interview with Eamon Keane to be broadcast on WLR FM’s Déise Today programme this morning, the 42-year-old condemned Alan Kelly’s umpire’s decision to allow Jason Forde’s goal, which helped Tipperary towards securing a draw against Waterford in the Gaelic Grounds last month.

McGrath didn’t wallow on the decision at the time and tried to move on from it in post-match interviews but on reflection he believes teams shouldn’t lose out as a result of such calls.
