Thanks all the same Matty but I donāt like to enflame or comment on matters that donāt concern me.
Lads, did tv replays show any of the points awarded or otherwise in the Cork match to be incorrect decisions, I felt I was right behind the flight of one that was gotten wrong.
There was a number of dodgy decisions throughout yesterday so its hard to know.
I wonder will they bother making a thing of the time not being played on TSG? Refs are fair game in my opinion and this was a huge mistake. Were they worried about a replay?
Thereās precedent there (1998)
A wide by DoC was incorrectly called a point by the umpires. This was reversed by the ref.
Donāt recall anything else that was controversial scoring wise.
Twas actually the linesman who called it.

Not precedent.
Once the time passes over the regulation (in this case 10 minutes for a half of extra-time), the timekeeping is at the refereeās discretion.
There is precedent in that four minutes of injury time were signalled at the end of the 2005 All-Ireland football final and only three were played.
Perhaps Iām wrong, but I canāt remember a replay of that final.
No thatās fair enough Sid .
It was clearly wide on first viewing.
Had the usual umpire indecision of looking up at the ball from completely the wrong vantage point right beside the post, pausing for a few seconds out of panic and then belatedly awarding the score through sheer guesswork, hoping that itās the right decision.

Kevin Mc Stay tonight named his team to face Mayo in the All-Ireland Quarter Final to be played in Croke Park on Sunday next at a time yet to be confirmed by the CCCC. Kevin has retained faith with the team that overcame Galway in the Connacht Final on July 9th in Pearse Stadium Salthill.

Ah lovely. The annual crowning of King Aidan before he disappears meekly into the wide spaces of Croke Park. Kerry will have him for breakfast if Mayo get through.
And if Kerry get through.
