Shefflin: 'The best of referees we don’t talk about and unfortunately that is not the case today for both sides'

Galway were the team down to 12 players in this one in Salthill and they will be without skipper Conor Whelan and previous captain Daithi Burke for their showdown with All-Ireland champions Limerick in Pearse Stadium next Saturday.

UNAVOIDABLE DISCUSSIONS: Galway manager Henry Shefflin said post-match discussions should never be about the referee but he knew that was unavoidable after this bizarre clash at Pearse Stadium where Limerick referee Johnny Murphy sent off four players, dished out eleven yellow cards and one black one. Pic:©INPHO/Ben Brady
