Lohan: 'I'd like to see a better standard of refereeing, and I don't think we're getting it'

Clare hurling manager Brian Lohan is calling on Croke Park to provide a better standard of refereeing. Repeatedly, he has expressed the viewpoint to the powers that be, but says he ‘is ignored.’ 

Now in his seventh season in charge of the Banner, he outlined his concerns again after Saturday’s All-Ireland SHC quarter-final win over Dublin in FBD Semple Stadium - a victory marred by a serious high-tackle injury to David Reidy in the 67th minute that necessitated the Éire Óg Ennis player be removed from the pitch by stretcher and hospitalised.
