No need to rehash the severe criticism of the refs in both of the Mayo v Kerry games. I'm starting to wonder if any one ref could have done a good job under the circumstances, with pulling and dragging, nasty off the ball stuff etc.
I know I have brought this subject up before but surely with a ref in each half of the field there would have a better chance of controlling the game, making the correct calls and stopping a lot of the nasty stuff that goes unpunished. I know there is concerns about consistency etc and linesmen and umpires are supposed to keep an eye out but seldom do.
I thought I would pit a poll on top just to see if anyone feels the same about this...
