Replying To Whammo86:  "I really don't know what can be done about human error.

It happens across all sports also. Remember Lampards goal that wasn't versus Germany in the World Cup, that was even worse than this.

That's why technology is being brought into elite sports. It's a check because people are pretty unreliable.

Posters on here talk about their needs to be better training of officials but I mean what training helps you not mess up that call. It was a clear point, I dunno how between the ref and 2 officials they couldn't get it right but there you go. I'm sure they didn't do it on purpose but I think it just goes to show that the technology is needed."
Yep,technology is the ultimate answer and I think the players deserve nothing less than all the means at the disposal of the GAA.
It's time to stop relying on umpires who are regularly proved wrong by Hawkeye.
It was a clear point as you say and in this case was massively costly.No excuse considering all the eyes that saw nothing.
