Armagh's Jamie Clarke has revealed his frustration at referee Maurice Deegan's decision not to award him the advantage when he netted his disallowed goal in the second of the Ulster SFC defeat to Cavan on Sunday.

The Laois official punished Clarke and Armagh by disallowing the goal for a foul committed by a Cavan defender.

"I didn't hear the whistle but obviously he did blow," Clarke remarked to the Irish Examiner.

"But the same thing happened to me in the first half as well when I had got around the player, it appeared he held my jersey and Maurice blew the whistle.

"I was gone at that stage and why he was blowing up I don't know because the advantage was with me.

"There was another incident in the game when Aaron Kernan kicked a shot and the ball went wide despite his jersey being pulled. Why was advantage given then?"

He added: "It wasn't exactly as if he pulled me to the ground. My jersey was pulled but it wasn't going to affect me. I didn't notice it, to be honest." Tweet
