Were these the comments that the "ref was either biased or incompetent"?  Thats a serious mess up by the Irish News

surely if he was getting interviewed after the match he knew his comments would be made public.

It read;
Clarification;Down manager Ross Carr's post match comments published in the Irish News on Monday April 21 resulted from an on-the-record interview. However, the fact that his specific views on the referee were published was the result of a misunderstanding. Carr cited the "directive from Croke Park not to comment" and assumed that his remarks about the referee would not be published.

Very bizarre - can anyone explain this...

They're giving him a bit of wriggle room for his appeal. as much as they can give without losing credibility but not enough to get him off imo.

Ok you've told us before, we know now. 

On the Irish News thing does it matter if his comments were on or off the record, he still made them.  This is how the people hearing his appeal might see it.

I dont think he should be held accountable for the comments if he didnt want them made public. He was just expressing his opinion and should be allowed to privately. If he knew the interview would be made public then he is accountable.

Bridge 3-12 Ballyholland 2-9.

We were made to sweat right to the last few minutes when a Benny Coulter goal killed the game off.  The Bridge played without Michael Walsh and Ronan Sexton and were really missed.  Young Ryan Brady came on and caused problems for the Harps, watch out for the name you heard it here first.

Kilcoo 0-11 Castlwellan 0-7.  Anthony Devlin sent off for a straight red there.

Attical 2-6 Annaclone 0-11

Annaclone 2 goals down at half time but dominated second half.  Got level with a couple of minutes to go only for Attical to get their second point of the half which turned out to be the winner.
