New rules ask too much of club referees, warns McEntee

Armagh’s 2002 All-Ireland SFC winner John McEntee doesn't think some club referees are fit enough to apply all that will be asked of them.

The new Football Review Committee (FRC) rules are going to ask too much of club referees, according to John McEntee.

Armagh’s 2002 All-Ireland SFC winner will manage Monaghan club Inniskeen for a third season in 2025 and is alarmed about what is being expected of match officials outside of the inter-county game.
