McStay could face a penalty after an incident with a line judge

The Central Committee for Competition Control (CCCC) is expected to review the actions of Roscommon manager Kevin McStay in Saturday's loss to Donegal to Dr. Hyde Park.

McStay had a clear contact with lineman Niall Cullen just before halftime and a few moments later hit the Fermanagh official on the ball with a header.

Dublin footballer Diarmuid Connolly was suspended for 12 weeks in June 2017 after contacting linesman Ciaran Brannigan. Gordon Kelly of Clare got the same ban after the CCBC found that he had squished water at an umpire.

"There were two terrible calls at the end of the first half," said McStay after the result put an end to Roscommon's chances of reaching an All-Ireland semi-final. "They got a score for Donegal and a free kick for us that we did not have, we should get both calls on our behalf." There is no question about that.

"I made him understand very clearly, in Ciarán, that I had done it too aggressively, so I was not very happy with them and they were not there. not very happy with me. "

Television The photos showed McStay putting a hand on Cullen and pushing him. McStay wanted Donegal captain Michael Murphy to be penalized for throwing a Roscommon player before kicking, and he was even more unhappy when a subsequent decision did not make sense. of his team.

"Michael Murphy pushes one of our guys on the solo and kicks him in. Fair play, he's a strong, strong man – I'm not leaving him for the moment." I have a great admiration for him, but it should have been a free outing.And then the one before half-time, I guess you knew it was free? Everyone in the stadium knew that it was a good thing. was free. "

After getting his hands on the official, another camera angle picked up McStay by throwing a bullet that hit Cullen on the head.

"I was visibly a little aggressive towards her, I threw a ball that had no intention of hitting it and apparently she landed on her shoulder or her This was noted to me and I went in and apologized at half-time, and it was accepted as far as I know.But the referee said, "I'm going to have to go with my line judge that you were too aggressive, "and he asked me to sit down for the second half, which was disappointing, but he left."
