The two-time All-Ireland final referee feels that one aspect of the work of Jim Gavin's Football Review Committee has been felt at club level in particular
Leading football referee David Gough has heaped praise on the new rules, saying they have brought a “happy atmosphere” to matches.
Gough said that he was “horrified” at how the rules were written and said that “to bring in 49 rule changes was astonishing”. The two-time All-Ireland final referee was taking part in a panel discussion for the launch of SuperValu’s five-year extension to its all-Ireland SFC sponsorship alongside Dublin footballer Niall Scully, Armagh footballer Jemar Hall and Cork dual star Hannah Looney.
“I notice it not so much at inter-county level in that we have a great relationship on the pitch and a good relationship with the management teams but certainly for club referees around the country.
