Andy McEntee was unhappy with ref Derek O'Mahoney's call to show red cards to Meath duo Jack Flynn and Jordan Morris in the closing stages of the Royal's heavy Leinster SFC semi-final loss to Dublin.
Those dismissals rule both players out of Meath's opening qualifier and the loss of Morris in particular, who scored 1-3 against the Dubs at Croke Park, is a massive disappointment for McEntee.
"I was surprised with both of them," said the Royals boss after the 1-27 to 1-14 loss by his side.
