Cork City boss Tim Clancy calls on more funding for League of Ireland match officials

“It’s probably the same as everything else, with more funding and more money going into that maybe they could become full-time or something because every match official, I am led to believe, it’s also their second profession.

Cork City manager Tim Clancy believes League of Ireland match officials would benefit from receiving more funding and perhaps even going full-time in order to improve the overall standard.

Clancy will be banned for Sligo Rovers’ visit to Turner’s Cross on Friday night having been shown two quick yellow cards in the aftermath of City’s derby defeat to Waterford on Monday night.
