The GAA will have to introduce a second referee into gaelic football, according to Colm Collins, if the five rule changes that were announced yesterday get the green light.

The Clare football manager was on RTÉ Radio 1’s Morning Ireland this morning and revealed that he’s not adverse to the idea of trialing new rules that might improve the game.

“Any rule change at all that will benefit or improve the game, I’d be totally for. I’d have to complement the people that are involved in this, they have put a lot of time into it.”

The Banner County man added: “The main difficulty is the refereeing, because referees at the moment have enough to do.

“These are things that would probably demand a second referee. That’s something they might look at.”
