Ephie Fitzgerald has resigned as manager of the Cork ladies football team after their six-point defeat to Dublin in the All-Ireland semi-final today.
Fitzgerald, who guided his side to All-Ireland glory during his four seasons in charge, also took aim at referee Maggie Fitzgerald and the LGFA following a yellow card dished to forward Ciara Fitzgerald late on in the game.
Announcing his resignation, he claims that the tackle needs to be re-defined in the associations rule book.
"Now, I can say this because I will be stepping down after this," Ephie told RTE Sport following the game.
"I've four years done and I think it is time for a new voice.
"But Ciara O'Sullivan was sent off there. That's the third time Maggie has sent her off in three matches and she doesn't know herself what she went for. Stuff like that. The tackle needs to be defined, I think.
"That's not taking from Dublin's victory on the day. They did deserve it but I just do think that the tackle needs to be defined or the LGFA going forward are wasting their time because we don't know what a tick is, we don't know when they are being ticked, we don't know if every foul is a tick or whatever. I don't know."
