A point from young Nash and hawk eye shows the ball as I side the bar but a red line behind it and flags it as a miss. Malfunction may e? Could cause trouble yet.

*inside the bar. Even the commentator was surprised that miss showed up on screen.

If hawk eye shows to have got this one wrong then the system surely needs to be scrapped as its integrity will be questioned for every decision from here on in....

All systems make mistakes including spell check..."I side... e"?

It's still more dependable than an umpire in my opinion.

There has been a malfunction and as a result it will not be used for the rest of the day

Is that the end of hawk-eye altogether? It is hard to see how anyone will trust it again after today.

Disgrace that this technology can get it wrong.

Well I see the referee has wisely decided to let extra time decide the Minor Game. Just as well there is no doubt in the world that Hawkeye needs Specsavers. I was reading the GAA pages on the Sunday Indo as the Hawkeye incident took place, a piece about Togher in Cork being the present day Sporting Capital of Ireland. I was most surprised to read there that two former Cork hurling stalwarts Gerald & Charlie McCarthy were brothers and also that Jimmy Barry Murphy came from Togher. Jimmy lived 4 doors from me as kids growing up and his local Club would have been Bishopstown however his family had a long illustrious history with the Barrs and that is why he ended up playing for the Togher outfit. Between Hawkeye and the Indo sports journalists you couldn't believe your eyes.

Kingdom boy....It's still more dependable than an umpire in my opinion.
A good umpire is better than a bad corner forward. Mayo owe the 1951 All-Ireland to a clearly wrong umpire decision in the drawn semi-final versus Kerry. The umpire in question Paddy Smyth was from Cavan and was not too fond of Kerry. Kerry claimed that the point was three yards wide but Mayo's Paddy Prendergast graciously admitted it was only one yard wide!!

Kingdom boy.....the umpire Paddy Smyth was a member of the Cavan team that lost the 1937 final to Kerry in controversial circumstances. Clearly he had a good memory and saw this as an opportunity for revenge!!

beal (Mayo) - Posts: 1388 - 18/08/2013 15:19:30    1463307

but how many decisions have it got right this year in croke park ,that would have otherwise been called wrong by the official's?
if it should be scrapped, we might as well scrap the idea of having official's as well

I dont think there was any malfunction. The ball touched the virtual posts and therefore it was given as a wide. Simple as that
