Kevin Walsh has called for the introduction of the clock-hooter system.

The Galway manager expressed frustration at the amount of injury-time played at the end of his side's 2-8 to 1-15 defeat to Mayo. There were four minutes signalled by the fourth official, but most of that time was taken up by stoppages, including a late melee.

Walsh is now calling on the GAA to review their decision to abandon the clock-hooter system for championship games earlier this year.

"The last four minutes were called, but I'm not so sure there was even 40 seconds of that played," he said.

"It's a pity there wasn't a few more minutes maybe at the end to test out the character of this side. I think he (referee Padraig Hughes) blew up at 38:38 or something and you know what happened.

"Aidan O'Shea had an injury and also the little schmozzle at the end. I can see a lot of the frustrations in different people and why a stop-clock wouldn't be looked at. It is frustrating, but either way, that's not about the winning of the game, for players and for management looking on, it can be frustrating that type of stuff."
