That's as black and white square ball as you're going to get.
Like, he was in there for ages.
Like, so...
that one would be the one to me that was the most blatant and actually at the moment of the game I turned to Tomas O'Shea I was with Tomas and I said we have these on the ropes here and they did that was a period where obviously they just missed the goal chance they probably should have popped that one over the bar to go four in a row and stealing three kickouts in a row and two they just robbed just before half time so they were on a bit of a patch and that just flipped the momentum of the game that goal did What about it Dara where are you on these decisions?
I hear you there, but I think if you think about it, I just wonder, as a referee, he has his umpires because they travel the country with him.
So I think the GAA might pick the sideline officials.
But then the umpires are kind of the ref's team.
You know, I almost ask myself, like, are they actually working as a team?
Do they have a plan or is it just going to go for it?
Because do they really need two guys to go in a stadium that has caught goal?
It tells when the ball goes over the bar or not.
Do they need two individuals to be behind the goal to see if the ball goes over the bar?
And yes, I would absolutely say that their job is, one of them, is to be monitoring to see if there's someone in the square.
There's only a couple of things you have to do as an umpire.
It's not bloody rocket science, right?
So you can't turn around and say, oh, in the heat of battle, they can't decide whether the ball is kicked and the ball is in the square.
He was actually in there for a good distance before the ball was kicked.
So it's not a marginal call.
I think you should there's two guys there and both of them don't need to be looking at like they can split roles you know and they can be because it should be somewhat coordinated like we should expect I got a message yesterday from an ex-Intercounty referee and he was he's not from Dublin and he actually mentioned it to me he said he thought it was really bad calls but what he said is they should have like for at least for when he gets the All-Ireland Series they should have ex-referees as umpires so the GAA should actually pick one of the umpires like they do the sidelines
But I think if I'm waking up as a Dublin player today, even as the fans, I am more frustrated.
