GAA referees chief Seán Walsh: Big men will get fair play

“We earnestly hope every referee that goes out to referee a match treats every player equally no matter of size. That goes without exception.“

GAA referees chief Seán Walsh expects officials to treat all players the same regardless of their size, writes John Fogarty.

Donegal, Mayo and Kerry managers have all recently complained that some of their six foot plus men have been treated unfairly by match officials. Éamonn Fitzmaurice became the latest to hit out at standards following the Division 1 final defeat to Dublin in which he felt Kieran Donaghy was fouled without punishment.
