David Gough insists he "only implemented the rules" when he showed five red cards in the League clash between Armagh and Tyrone last February.
The Meath referee dismissed the Orchard County’s Greg McCabe and four men from the Red Hands – Peter Harte, Padraig Hampsey, Kevin McKernan and Kieran McGeary - after an injury time melee at the Athletic Grounds.
"Quite simply, it was wrapped up very easily for me," said Gough.
