48 mins played a penalty goal for Kerry, the foul looked outside the area. 1-10 to 0-10 and Cork down to 14 men with a black card.
That ref just can't help himself -- needs to be a talking point.
It can be outside the box and a penalty though did they not say? If it’s a clear goalscoring opportunity, which I’m not sure it was
Definitely wasn't a clear goal scoring opportunity.
There's nothing in the rules about it having to be a clear goal scoring opportunity.
I don't think anyone can make the case that there wasn't a chance of a goal in this situation given the lack of Cork's cover and the fact that Geaney has scored a number of goals against Cork over the years.
Gough got this spot on imo.
Kerry fairly unimpressive bar Clifford (really can't see an All-Ireland in them) and Cork while they got close on the scoreline are still miles off being a top team.
