10 wides or 100 wides is irrelevant to the issue to hand, ball not only crossed the line but actually was pushed into the roof of the net which shook..as an Offaly man I must be balanced and mention a shot in 1985 All Ireland V Galway when a Galway shot clearly was pulled from at least 6 inches behind the line...Offaly won by 2 (2-11 to 1-12)..it was only highlighted that night on the Sunday Game..the Gaa dont want or like appeals..

Same happened in All club hurling final this year. Perfect goal not given.

No sporting organization wants appeals against results be it GAA,Soccer,Rugby or anything else.What we must do is improve the technology at our grounds to solve these issues.

A referee, linesman or umpire making a mistake is part and parcel of the game. It has happened in every game ever played and will happen in every game to be played. Some go for you and some go against you. MesAmis (Dublin) - Posts: 13775 - 26/05/2024 08:36:01 2547118 Link 0 |
1985 all-ireland senior hurling final, there was a goal not counted also.

It wasn't 'pulled' out in fairness, it spun back out, after dropping a clear 6 inches inside the goal line.

I remember the 1985 goal not given in the final, glad it was Offaly that benefitted from it at least, fair play to them. suckvalleypaddy (Galway) - Posts: 1706 - 26/05/2024 11:40:10 2547174 Link 0 |
Teams shouldn't have to take it on the chin either, nothing will ever change if we keep adapting that attitude, it's time for the GAA to grow some balls and start adressing these issues once and for all.

That is the issue. I wasn't advocating an appeal but making that point; that such a grievous error ought to be able to be dealt with at the time. Not plausible in the junior game down the park but like Hawkeye there ought to be a facility for an off field official to be able to bring something like that to ref's attention. There is also of course the fact that there were no supporters behind the goal. Had that happened in front of a packed terrace then it would surely have been greeted with uproar and in that way forced ref to intervene.

How? You'll never eradicate match officials making errors. It's impossible. Decisions go for you and they go against you. It's part of the game. Always has been, always will be. It's tough on the young Cork lads, but that's sport. MesAmis (Dublin) - Posts: 13775 - 26/05/2024 12:25:46 2547182 Link 0 |
Cummins was 'vexsshhtt' anyway, when the TG4 man showed him 'the goal' afterwards, and asked him for a comment on it.

Address them how exactly. As officials just like players coaches and anyone involved in every game in wvery sport anywhere will make mistakes KillingFields (Limerick) - Posts: 3624 - 26/05/2024 12:53:40 2547186 Link 0 |
You might make a mistake in the amount of money you take from your bank account. The banks job is not to make such mistakes, and if they do they rectify them. Players job is to put ball in net. Umpire's job is not notice when this event takes place. BarneyGrant (Dublin) - Posts: 2952 - 26/05/2024 13:34:07 2547193 Link 0 |
Bon (Kildare) is right. A game can be lost cos you hit 100 wides, fair enough. But a game shouldn't be lost cos when the ball actually crossed the line it wasn't seen by the officials. Loads of wides don't cancel that out.

So does that make it alright? Umpires have one job to do, I can understand if a shot is 50 yards in the air above the posts that you could well be guessing. But a goal chance like that under your nose is a joke. It can't be rocket science in this day and age to set up some form of system to detect this, or somebody up at the camera to alert officials. Or then again we could do nothing and just accept mediocrity and still be having similar conversations in 10 years time.

What? The umpire's job is exactly that!

I'm wondering for last two days,how is it that no cork player on the night made any complaint when it wasn't given??if they had seen it surely they would have brought it to attention of ref or the umpires..it's a terrible mistake,it's as bad as mistake in club final..

To those saying "It's not an error or injustice, because Cork had plenty of chances" what's the real rule then? CastleBravo (Meath) - Posts: 1657 - 26/05/2024 16:16:03 2547244 Link 1 |
Bob from Kildare has all the answers to everything. Not a fear he's ever umpired or refereed. Claretandblue (Westmeath) - Posts: 1789 - 26/05/2024 17:12:27 2547279 Link 0 |
