Level of refereeing

Sir, – Is it not about time that inter-county teams and management stand up to the level of refereeing that we see regularly in recent games, especially hurling?

There seems to be little input from lines men, umpires or fourth officials on decisions made by referees.

This will eventually lead to fans not going to games. – Yours, etc,
