Cusack: Childish behaviour will ruin it for everyone

The unsavoury scenes witnessed at the end of the Clare v Waterford clash needs to be stamped out or the GAA will be forced to intervene, says Dónal Óg Cusack.

The awarding of a '65 to Clare deep into stoppage-time, which allowed Mark Rodgers the opportunity to hand the Banner a last-gap victory in Ennis, was hotly contested by Waterford manager Davy Fitzgerald.

After the full-time whistle he was seen remonstrating with referee Liam Gordon, while a member of the Clare backroom team shoved Fitzgerald as tensions appeared to boil over.

Speaking after the match, Fitzgerald said be believed the decision by the umpire to award to ’65 as Waterford pair Mark Fitzgerald and Tadhg de Burca jostled with Clare’s Peter Duggan for possession on the endline was simply "guess work".
