Correct, there seems to be a legitimate question over the way Hawk Eye is set up in Croke Park.

I have watched this back on Sky Plus a few times. The umpires waves a point and played on, the Hawkeye alerted the ref of an issue.

At 68 minutes into today’s game, the illustration clearly shows the ball is inside the posts, slightly clipping the inside of the virtual blue line. Hawkeye awarded a Nil.

there is a touch of the emperor’s new clothes about Hawkeye where everyone is just going along with this?

Was the ball above or below the top of the post? There’s one big red flag. If it were below the top of the post then it should have hit the fucking post and defected somewhere, maybe off the keepers helmet into the goal.

Hawkeye is suspect lads. Not as suspect as an umpire but has its own set of issues.

Above the top of the post

Why did McGrath pull everyone back for the last ten minutes of normal time? Pure suicide, lost them the game.

It’s being discussed on Twitter also.

How can you be sure? Because Hawkeye said so? It looked well below to me (real not virtual). Maybe the height of the posts algorithm is wrong. Both post and ball are virtual, if Hawkeye determines a ball below the actual top of the post clipped the virtual post, is it a NIL?

This needs to be cleared up imo before next weekend.

Check the images I posted above, if you know how to make them appear as images and not links please let me know !

They don’t work as images nor as links. Must be the same software as hawkeye.

Would Maurice take a chunk out of poor Shane if there wasn’t a faceguard between them?

Fucking blind Hawkeye.
Is the blue line supposed to be above the post? I have no problem if the ruling is NIL if the ball hits that line, at least it’s consistent. But, to me the actual shot looked below the post. Anyone got a picture I wonder?

Waterford have shot their bolt if this shite about Hawkeye is anything to go by

It’s just lunatics and drunks talking about Haweye. Intercounty (or any) hurlers would be used to controversial calls.

  1. He didn’t, they did this themselves. He was roaring to push up
  2. They drew the game, not lost.
  3. The credit must also go to KK. They kept trying to do the right thing, and when the chances came they stayed calm.

So they collectively decided to fall back to the half-way line for ten minutes and ignored their boss’s instructions to push up over that time? I’ll take your word for it.
