Davy Fitzgerald concerned at pressure on referees

Wexford manager Davy Fitzgerald believes too much pressure is being put on referees to clamp down on poor tackling, leading to unnecessary red cards being doled out.

While claiming not to have seen the incident which led to Wexford’s Liam Ryan and Limerick’s Seamus Flanagan being sent off in the first half, Fitzgerald is concerned that diktats from Croke Park are putting referees on edge.
