The scoreboard in the ground must have been out aswell then…

With margins for error on when time is stopped or not, it'll be very harsh to disallow a score when a player is in the process of striking for a score. Appreciate tricky to write as a rule.

New York has the clock/hooter system in operation for approx. 75 years.
The clock and hooter are interconnected. The clock shows the exact time left to play as the it is operated by an official on directions from the referee. All present are aware when the clock has been stopped....no hanky panky. At zero seconds on the clock a relay energizes the hooter.
On this: St. Brigids v Dingle had 5 minutes "injury" time added. Brigids tied it with the Tv showing 5.35 had been played.
The Tv should not show any time unless it is the official time.

The scoreboard in the ground showed a few seconds more left than tg4. The person in charge of the hooter is a designated neutral timekeeper or fourth official. The hooter goes after the official time is up.Nothing sinister or unfairness happened with the hooter.
