The ref Gavin that is retired who writes for the paper, I've probably spelt that wrong

Quote from: Saffrongael on Today at 12:53:54 PMQuote from: Gael-in-exile on Today at 12:47:54 PMInitially for context:
As a scoreboard operator for club championship games and county games I always confirmed at HT the scoreboard was correct.
I always waited on the flag/ref signal to put the score up.
As a coach I always had a mgt member record the score and would always check in on it. I would have also always confirmed with the ref the score at HT and again possibly with a few mins to go if it was tight and I was anything less than 100%.
In this case the game was correct. The venue made a mistake and I think the media copied that.
I would doubt if Kilkenny were all under the impression there was 3 in it. Id guess E Murphy knew. I'd guess some of the mgt knew. It may be that some outfield players didn't but I'd also guess some did - some players are well in tune with all aspects of the game, with some even savvy enough to ask the ref.
But the ref had the score wrong too so a player asking wouldn't have got the right answer

I wasn't making excuses for Kilkenny. The red card was the turning point in the game but not what was expected. Tipp turned up their intensity, while KK seemed almost passive down the stretch. As if the red card guaranteed them the win and they could simply coast home.
Back to the scoreboard: shouldn't it be standard procedure for each team to keep a representative at the scoring table to immediately catch any mistakes? I could imagine something like this happening at the 1925 semi final, however in the modern era...yikes!

There's only one score card players should be asking, that's the ref's..
Few games recently home teams have had the incorrect scores up, when asked by players, which happens a lot in games I give them my score, it's the only one that matters..
Croke park tv screen getting it wrong is not in the playing rules or has grounds for an appeal
This isn't an Antrim league game with 50 people watching, 61k people there roaring & you are expecting them to ask the ref the score ? Joe Canning also said you are checking the scoreboard as a player

This has potential to get messy. KK had enough point chances to pull back a 2 point deficit that I think they would have taken if the realised they were 2 down rather than 3
Quote from: DaleCooper on July 06, 2025, 06:05:10 PMIm no judge but very poor second half.
Ger Loughnane would have enjoyed the INTENSITY but scrappy and messy for the neutral
Quote from: Captain Obvious on July 06, 2025, 05:26:18 PMThe Referees decision making will be a talking point after this match.

It's a yellow card offence
and refs have the right to use their judgement
