Referee Gough 'dismayed and let down' at GAA's ban on wearing Gay Pride wristband

Top GAA referee David Gough has said he was "disappointed, dismayed and let down" by a decision to refuse him permission to wear a Gay Pride wristband on Croke Park.

He had planned to wear the wristband while refereeing at last night's Dublin and Tyrone national league match to show support for a Yes vote in the same-sex marriage referendum, and to highlight homophobia in sport.
