Would have stopped the rot and gave Tyrone a platform.I thought Kerry were getting their frees handier than Tyrone in certain periods but it wasn't game changing.
Also Teagues performance on Ose considering his performance against Armagh was outstanding.
The point you mention, however, was just unfortunate for Tyrone rather than a referee error. He played advantage then there was another foul. He blew for the free at that point. After that the 2 pointer was kicked.
He can't change his mind after he has blown for the free, be it common sense or not.
The ref wasn't the winning or losing of the game, I think, though momentum is everything (like Tyrone's many poor wides, deflating them and giving Kerry confidence).
It There were a number of clear frees that he just didn't give on both sides. I couldn't understand how Kennedy could catch a ball, be seemingly taken out in the air and get neither a mark or a free.
I also felt like there were a lot of frees given to Kerry where there was no obvious contact made.
