The call is probably on the linesman, Conor Lane, he's close.

They do consult and they decide yellow card.

So the match officials make that decision together and there's no one that would dispute in hindsight.

We're looking at the time, anyone that had a clear view of it would say, that's a red card.

Michael Murphy shouldn't have been on the pitch for the rest of the game.

There's no, there's no reviewing that.

That's a long time.

There was a time when referees, there was a time back in the 2000s.

It was a time back in the 2000s when referees would be asked, are you happy with that decision?

And it came to All-Ireland Finals and there was a couple of Cork players in 2007 and 2009 where there was referees retrospectively asked, are you happy with that decision?

Sometimes they would say, no, no, I'm happy for that to be reviewed.

And it would be reviewed and a player would be suspended.

But for All-Ireland Finals, it was two Cork players.

I think it was John Miskula and Noel O'Leary were both in the frame at the time.

And the referee said, no, we're not going back on this decision.

It was an all-Ireland final.

I don't think any referee wanted at that time to say in hindsight, yeah, I think that should be reviewed and risk a player missing an all-Ireland final.

So there was a rule brought in afterwards to say that if a referee has made a decision,

that decision cannot... A decision around something like that, that can't.

A referee's word is final.
