David Gough: 'John Cleary didn't understand what was going on. It was 100% the correct decision'

Meath referee says his decision to award Kerry a decisive penalty at Pairc Ui Chaoimh was totally validated at a referees' meeting this weem

David Gough has criticised the ignorance of the black card/penalty rule that he applied in last Saturday’s All-Ireland SFC Group 1 game between Cork and Kerry in Páirc Uí Chaoimh.

The Meath referee awarded Kerry a second-half penalty and sin-binned Seán Powter for his foul on Paul Geaney outside the small parallelogram as it denied a goal-scoring opportunity, as the rule stipulates.
