Brian Gavin has accused The Sunday Game panel of "overdoing" their analysis of referee Barry Kelly's performance after the drawn All-Ireland SHC final.

The Clara match official, who will take charge of Saturday's replay between Kilkenny and Tipperary, believes more time was allocated to discussing Kelly's performance in the absence of interviews from the winning team's hotel.

"It's disappointing the way they scrutinise the All-Ireland final," Gavin said on Midlands 103.

"Just because they had no banquet for the teams, they decide to fill the progamme scrutinising Barry Kelly's performance and they done the same with my last year after the drawn game with Clare and Cork.

"I just think they're overdoing it, we're under enough pressure."
