James Horan: ‘It is really worrying that a club would go down this road’

For Horan, no club should pursue the approach Kilcoo took.

Kilcoo’s objection against the appointment of Paul Faloon for the Down SFC final last weekend was an unfair move, according to former Mayo manager James Horan.

Speaking on the Irish Examiner Gaelic football podcast, Horan also said it was a worrying case. Faloon was initially appointed to officiate the decider at Páirc Esler. Kilcoo then objected before taking a case to the GAA’s Disputes Resolution Authority (DRA).
