Kieran McGeeney called for refereeing consistency in the wake of Armagh’s thrilling victory over Dublin in Croke Park on Saturday night.

The Orchard County overturned an eleven-point deficit to defeat the Dubs in a Division One thriller at GAA HQ, but the winning manager took issue with referee David Gough’s treatment of his team.

McGeeney was yellow-carded and Jarlath Og Burns black-carded following an altercation as the players left the pitch at half time, and the second half began bizarrely with a tap-over free for the hosts.

“I’m sure they’ll find something. They always do because they're never wrong," McGeeney told the BBC after the game. “And it’s an embarrassment for me, but I struggle. I struggle a lot. All you're always looking for is fair play.

“The rules against one team should be the rules for the other team. It shouldn’t waver. It just shouldn’t waver. It should be the exact same. That’s all we’re looking. Nobody’s looking anything else.”
