Thrashed Derry hit out at ref

Derry boss Mickey Moran launched a scathing attack on referee Brian White after his side's Ulster SFC thrashing by Tyrone.

Derry were whipped 1-17 to 1-6 at Clones in a new low for the Oak Leaf County yesterday. Since then Moran has been taking plenty of flak.

But he turned the tables by blasting referee White and said: "We had to be killed out there before we'd get a free. All we ask from referees is fairness."

Meanwhile, Tyrone chief Harte was pragmatic about the win with a long Ulster championship ahead.

"We're only in the first round proper day one against Fermanagh on June 6 so there's nothing to be getting carried away with," said the All-Ireland winning boss.
