would agree there isnât much consistency in that to not give it one but give it the other. But it was one free. Waterford would be better off wondering why they let go a 6 point lead late on and were up by 4 going into injury time and went onto lose the game when it was put up to them. The way some of them are going on youâd swear there was some sort of conspiracy or that the ref played Clare back into the game.
Yes, Iâd agree with that and I think Clare would have a grievance over not getting a free when Noel Connors tipped the forwards helmet in the corner. In fairness Kirwan was probably playing for the draw but Stephen O Keeffe hadnât read the script.
I donât think it does Waterford any favours to turn one refereeing decision into a huge distraction. Itâs only the league. Hardly worth getting worked up about it.
IT was hard not to feel sorry for him yesterday as he was pleading with Daly about how tough it was being a Waterford man and never having done back to back in anything. I nearly had to wipe the tears away.
