And you just have to suck it up.
I get the argument that, yeah, we have the technology now, the technology is there, and why not use it?
I actually thought Hawkeye, when it came in first, was going to be for goals and points and for triangulation like that, and that it would be a little bit easier.
But at the same time, everything has to filter down.
Like, you know, you're going around before every county league game, you're looking for umpires and you're looking for linesmen.
We're expecting standards.
Absolutely, all the players, the panel in the Sunday game last night said, because there's so much time gone into this, so much effort gone into it, it's a killer.
But even the square ball incident, which is clear cut square ball when you see it.
Like, you put yourself in the umpire's shoes there.
Like, is he, when Dylan Ganey kicks that ball, is he looking at Sean O'Brien?
He's looking at the play.
Usually, I would think.
You know, it's not so, I think we can be very hard on umpires and we can say, ah, and it's casual.
Watch him there with his hands in his pocket and it's a day out for him.
These are, you know, these are people that are monitoring the game as much as they can.
But it wouldn't be natural of him not to be watching Dylan Ganey's kick.
as opposed to watching Sean O'Brien.
I would think, if we've all done umpiring at different stages, not to that level.
So,
I think this is one that Dublin are just going to have to suck up however disappointing it is.
