'Personally, I have an open mind on technology. I haven’t any objection to using this kind of technology (video replays) as regards a score but would people – players and supporters – be happy with the time taken in the consultation process?' Referees’ spokesman Fr Seamus Gardiner on the possibility of using video referees to judge on controversial incidents in games.

'Curran weary of early climax' Headline on Hoganstand.com relating to, despite what you might think, Cork hurler Ronan Curran's hopes that the Rebels don't reach their peak too soon this summer.

'We don't want any hearings this week. Players are away. Some went on vacation as we don't have a game for a number of weeks. It doesn't suit us at this particular time. We are trying to run off our Club Championship matches. Other players have work commitments. We've indicated all this. Sure, we are not playing again until 30 June.' Clare County Board Secretary Pat Fitzgerald on the county's hope that Thursday's proposed Central Hearings Committee (CHC) hearing can be postponed as some of the players involved will not be available to attend.

Micheál Quirke'Pat contacted me to rejoin the panel and we trained when the lads were in Australia and I knew it was the correct decision. Although I deserved a few chances before, I certainly did a lot of work this year to put myself in the frame and not be left out.' Kerry's 6' 5" midfield giant Micheál Quirke on his resurgence for The Kingdom under manager Pat O'Shea.

'It has worked out well but we know it will be a massive game for us because Louth have three good games under their belt and have also played in Croke Park twice.' Wexford manager Paul Bealin is happy with the news that his side's Leinster SFC clash with Louth has been switched from Parnell Park to Croke Park as part of a double header with Dublin v Meath on 17 June.

'You are not going to be peaking at this stage of the season. Last year I believe that we peaked against Waterford in the semi-final and maybe it took a bit too much out of us at the end.' Ronan Curran brings some clarity to the earlier headline.
