You’ve been watching too much of the Dublin footballers, Brian.
We’ve heard the “minor physical interference” infraction being referenced all too much in the last few weeks since Diarmuid Connolly’s incident with linesman Ciaran Branagan against Carlow.
Brian Cody had his very own linesman incident in Kilkenny’s qualifier clash with Waterford on Saturday night.
Cody’s Cats were struggling in the early stages of the first-half against the Déise, having only managed 0-3 in the first half an hour of play.
Cody and Waterford manager Derek McGrath were having a few verbals, and the linesman appeared to be stuck in the middle of it.
In fairness, if you’re going on that as being a push, the linesman, Justin Heffernan, would be done for “minor physical interference after he also put his hands on Cody.
The whole of Twitter had their mind made up on it anyway, that’s for sure.
