A score was not given by terrible umpiring so that should rob a team of a replay? Surely Cork will do the right thing and give a replay cause they won't be considered 2016 champions in my book. clondalkindub (Dublin) - Posts: 9926 - 26/09/2016 08:30:50 1919085 Link 0 |
Seriously clondalkin dub do you really think that Cork ladies will be bothered what you think????? What about all the games up and down the country were bad calls decide matches, it's unfortunate but it happens.....but some of the moaning etc on here about it defies belief really PaudieSull1 (Down) - Posts: 738 - 26/09/2016 09:29:28 1919103 Link 1 |
Your comparing games up n down the country to the biggest game in ladies football? Jesus. clondalkindub (Dublin) - Posts: 9926 - 26/09/2016 09:41:02 1919113 Link 0 |
It's not a simple as saying the game would have been a draw if it was given. Closing stages of the second would have taken a completely different format in terms of attacking and defending if there were 3 instead of 4 points in it. Maybe Cork wouldn't have given the penalty to run down the clock. Literally the only time a case should be made is if it was the last kick of the game.

how could 2 umpires get it wrong? the chap standing behind the net clearly saw the ball go over the bar. Replay is the only fair move now. suckvalleypaddy (Galway) - Posts: 1669 - 26/09/2016 10:43:56 1919146 Link 0 |

You could understand if the shot was high in the air and was difficult to judge but this was clear as day. Once again the standard of umpires in GAA is awful. They have one job and a lot of them can't even do that. Hawk eye should not have been needed in this instance. If an umpire cant see a clear score like that why is he in this position for an all ireland final? An complete joke.

The umpire at the near post who waved it wide was an ould lad who was in a terrible position, right at the butt of the post. Waved it wide straight away he did, as if he was certain, although he was clearly just guessing. Who did he think he was trying to cod, did he think he was umpiring some club match out the country where there were no cameras? The umpire at the far post was a younger man and was perfectly positioned behind the goal yet inexplicably did not overrule his older colleague, didn't even consult with him. I have a theory with a lot of these ould lad/young lad umpire combos, that the younger umpire is afraid to overrule the older umpire and defers to him automatically, even if the decision is quite clearly, horribly wrong. Complete joke shop of a set up.

Very appealing ;-)

I'm sure they're marching back to Dublin to hand the cup back now that they've heard they're not champions in your book.

dont think an appeal would be way to go here. hill16no1man (Dublin) - Posts: 12665 - 26/09/2016 13:50:07 1919250 Link 0 |
No, there shouldn't be a replay. It would be different if it was the last kick of the game, but it wasn't. Dublin lost because their shooting was awful, not because a point was waved wide. They had ample opportunity to take the game by the scruff of the neck and didn't.

Dublin not appealing. Very gracious of them, some counties could learn a lot from them. RoyalBadger (Meath) - Posts: 571 - 26/09/2016 13:55:07 1919254 Link 0 |

your right in why dublin lost but to suggest a score is only wrong done if it happens at the end of the game is not right. every score throughout a game carries the same value no matter what minute of the game it occurs in. the same as an all ireland is not just winning the final you have to win all the games up to the final to get that far. hill16no1man (Dublin) - Posts: 12665 - 26/09/2016 14:15:04 1919266 Link 0 |
The people who are claiming there shouldn't be a replay because Dublin should have put over some of their wides make me laugh. waynoI (Dublin) - Posts: 13650 - 26/09/2016 14:24:28 1919275 Link 1 |
I feel very sorry for Dublin ladies. Whammo86 (Antrim) - Posts: 4226 - 26/09/2016 14:48:31 1919285 Link 0 |
No they lost because a legitimate point was disallowed. Everything else is irrelevant. Fair play anyway in that it appears that they are not going to appeal and make a song and dance about it. Marie Hickey and the LGFA should be very thankful for that but need to act quickly on the Hawkeye issue.
