So if a certain referee from Ulster gets the All-Ireland final, nobody will raise an eyebrow?? For what it's worth, a Laois man should get it - Deegan is about the only decent ref left at this stage. cavanman47 (Cavan) - Posts: 5016 - 29/08/2016 08:53:26 1907292 Link 0 |

He from bloody Meath, if you really think a Meath ref is going to favour the Dubs you're not thinking straight. It's lilke suggesting a Cork ref would favour Kerry or a Tyrone ref would favour Donegal. Madness.

Had he given a free for the shoulder on Crowley we would almost certainly be looking at a replay next week and posters on here giving out about 'typical GAA' arranging a draw to get more money. I'd have loved a replay, 70 minutes more of that would have been a treat. Soma (UK) - Posts: 2630 - 29/08/2016 08:55:42 1907295 Link 1 |

Could you please direct me to that new angle? Also what about AOM directly shouldering PMc right in the face? No free given for that. It was a blatant free, made no attempt to play the ball. Sorry but Kerry got a few handy ones themselves so lets no let another myth become the hear say narrative Fair play to the ref - Kerry were at the same lark in the 2015 final, fouling Dublin players off the ball If you're going to play with fire or play on the edge like that.. then frees can go against you Yesterday they were spotted jimbodub (Dublin) - Posts: 20600 - 29/08/2016 08:58:01 1907297 Link 0 |

David Gough had a game by all accounts yesterday. No decision incorrect or otherwise cost Kerry the game yesterday. They were simply beaten by a fitter team in the end. daytona11 (Kildare) - Posts: 4012 - 29/08/2016 09:28:27 1907321 Link 2 |

Really typical of Kerry supporters, They can never accept that they team is 2nd best and will blame everyone and anyone . From a neutral stand point I thought that Gough had a good game. The kevin mcmanamon challenge is the one there are frustrated about but it was the type of challenge that gough let go numerous time in the game for both sides. Everyone wants consistency from refs and i believe he was consistent throughout . Jonnycee (Longford) - Posts: 185 - 29/08/2016 09:58:05 1907357 Link 1 |

I think he has a valid point, no referee from the same province of either team should be officiating, surely there is a referee from Ulster or Connaught capable. On another note with regards the throwing of objects I have seen Meath & Dublin fans (at their own manager) throwing objects down from the stands also so this problem is not specific to Kerry.

Poor behaviour but Gough was poor he got 4 crucial decesions wrong in Dublins favour ...Two 45s in a row either end that both went in favour of Dublin. BigJohn.6_8 (Galway) - Posts: 704 - 29/08/2016 10:16:00 1907374 Link 0 |

That in no way proves the ball was over the line It proves that it may or not have been and it proves that the umpires view was blocked There is no way he could have judged it 100% accurately from his view point My point is 100% accurate Kerry got a very dubious yet highly advantageous call in their favour worth 3 points just before half time jimbodub (Dublin) - Posts: 20600 - 29/08/2016 10:29:52 1907393 Link 1 |

Majority of country work or have a association to dub. I married one, trust me it wouldn't make me favour them.

All of the ball over all of the line. That's not the angle you're looking for bud to prove it was a goal. Go again. MesAmis (Dublin) - Posts: 13718 - 29/08/2016 10:34:09 1907398 Link 0 |

Exactly, he didn't award McMahon a free for the challenge from O'Mahony (who wasn't even going for the ball) so in the interest of fairness he didn't award Crowley a free a few minutes later for a similar challenge. Kerry fans can moan that it was unfair Crowley didn't get a free but if he had we would have been hard done by not getting one for the challenge on Philly.

Re the crowley tackle, Aidan O'Mahony nearly killed Philly McMahon with something similar and would have seen a second yellow for it surely. The ball was handled on the ground to be fair. daytona11 (Kildare) - Posts: 4012 - 29/08/2016 10:42:32 1907407 Link 2 |

In fact I thought on at least three occasions yesterday S O Brian lost possession as he took too much out of the ball JOD done similar plus the Gooch fired a shot into Cluxtons when he should have pointed. As regards the shoulder on PC it was a free but as was highlited on TSG so was AOM on Philly. Both were not given. The Irish news states today that Dublin are a lot FUTHER ahead of Kerry than the score line yesterday suggests I would agree with that. The first Kerry goal had a big bearing as it rattled Dublin and lifted Kerry big time. It was a period Kerry got on top and I suppose half time came at a bad time for Kerry But Dublin got back to business after half time and to me overall were the better team. I'd say they were worth a six point winning margin. On all known form they should do back to back A I but in the last two game they have made errors and conceded goals , two to Kerry and one to Donegal. They make mistakes but they also steady the ship- no big panic Fair play to them and before 2011 I think no Leinster county made the AI final in ten years. But this is a serious team So we hand them over to you Mayo SamOnErrigal (Donegal) - Posts: 1427 - 29/08/2016 10:48:32 1907410 Link 1 |

Lads it was a goal. It was a great call by the umpire, unsighted or not. It's like a close offside in soccer where they look at it from five different angles and say grudgingly 'the linesman just about got that right'. He either got it right or he didn't and if he did it's ten out of ten not eight out of ten. It made Dublin play that little bit harder but obviously didn't affect the outcome of the game. Now deep breaths and repeat after me 'it was a goal but Dublin won'.

Thought the ref had a good game. Few marginal calls but the even themselves out. Don't think he favoured Dublin. Don't see the controversy. Nowhere near the refereeing horror show that was Kerry Mayo 2014. Breffni40 (Cavan) - Posts: 12120 - 29/08/2016 10:58:36 1907419 Link 1 |

There should be no problem, Referees go out to do things fairly. If I was a Dublin fan, I would be happy with a Mayo referee living in Mayo. If he is a decent human being, he will not influence the result. Much like yesterday, the ref didn't influence the result. Dublin won because they are better.

Should a man from Meath ref a Dublin match? No more than a man from Kerry should ref a Cork match. Kerry should have had 2 black cards that were not given. The pull down on Brogan was a text book black card. They got a goal that was dubious, unsighted umpire adjudges that ball was wholly over the line. O'Mahony should have got a red for a shoulder to Philly's jaw when the ball was nowhere. The ref was hardly bias towards Dublin. I thought he was poor enough for both sides.
