Why on earth was that a free? It's like the ref just gave a free because the goalie went down, and now he's wasting more time.

Why was Michael Daly taken off?

Bizarre decision. He didn't seem injured anyway.

Standard over protection of goalkeepers.

At same stage, forward should be clever enough to make no contact in small square. Whether a foul or not, contact in the small square is always given as a free

My point is I feel goalkeepers get over protected in those situations. Any touch at all and it's a free 99% of the time.

7 mins added time. Well done ref.
Not perfect, but ref has made less mistakes than most of the 30 odd players

Brings on Molloy in injury time. I give up.

Galway very poor in 2nd half. Losing all the 50:50 challenges.

Hound · June 16, 2019, 05:39:59 PM

What a catch by orourke.
And what a point by cox!

Ah yeah I get that, just think it's gone beyond a joke. Maybe a light hand was placed on the keeper then he fell like a sack of spuds, and only then the ref blew for a free. Refs need to be alot stronger in that regard, in this case he could have blown for a free in for the keeper lying on the ball.
