'Probably the best way to handle the situation was for the GAA to come out and apologise (and say) there was an officiating error.'
SHANE WALSH BELIEVES Kilmacud Crokes would have replayed the All-Ireland Club football final if that had been the final outcome of the GAA’s investigation.
Speaking to BBC Northern Ireland’s GAA Social podcast, Walsh said he felt the fallout “left both clubs in an ugly place”. “While there was an officiating error, we’re just going to say we’ll take the result the way it was. That’s the way I probably believe it myself, it should have happened. Obviously it went on another spin.”
“He started talking about probably the worst things you could hear in relation to where he was at mentally himself. But as he said himself, it made him the player he was. He was then able to develop that because he was saying ‘I’m never going to let an occasion get the better of me again’.
