Waterford supporters have reacted angrily on Twitter to the news that Tadhg de Búrca will miss Sunday's All-Ireland SHC semi-final against Cork.
The DRA ruled in the early hours of this morning to uphold his one-match ban, and the Deise faithful are not just up in arms at the decision, but at the fact that he only learned his fate two days before the biggest game of his career.
63 hours from throw in, no decision made for Tadhg De Burca. Absolute joke of an appeals system the GAA have #freetadhg #JusticeForTadhg

TweetLooks like Tadhg de Búrca could have done with Diarmuid Connolly's lawyers for dealing with the DRA
