Call for ‘massive mindset change’ in attitude to refs

Tipperary secretary Tim Floyd believes a “massive mindset change” is required in the GAA’s attitude towards its match officials.

Floyd, in his report to convention next week, admits that the abuse suffered by referees, umpires and linesmen is becoming a worrying trend at all levels of Gaelic games. And he believes that the issue needs to be tackled from ‘the top down’.
