There was a big reaction to today's controversial Ladies football senior final on Twitter.
A disallowed first half point by Dublin's Carla Rowe was the main talking point after the Rebelettes prevailed by the narrowest of margins - 1-7 to 1-6.
The fact that Hawkeye wasn't in operation also raised plenty of eyebrows amongst the record attendance of 34,445.
Here's the moment the umpires got it wrong...
There was a replay for 6 subs used in the Summer. Surely one for a disallowed point resulting in a 1 point loss. #GAA #disgraceful

Unfair to both teams to have this cloud over the #AllIrelandFinal . #Dublin lost by a point when they had a clear point signalled wide.#LGFA
