What is it there that the ref can't do?
Would blowing for the second foul not constitute a break in play during which the linesman could alert the ref to the first foul?
Once the referee has given a decision and has sounded his whistle to restart play, he shall not alter that decision.
Once he's blown and made a decision (rightly or wrongly) he can't change it
Different if he blows for a free and waves his hand in one direction when it should have been the other, that's common enough in games but everyone knows.
This was different. He didn't blow for the Johnston trip, play went on and the Down player grab the Armagh lad around the neck then he blew.
I thought the first was a free in fairness so the right thing happened in the end.
He'll be pulled on a few things, but the helter skelter of these games will provide mistakes all round
Not trying to be argumentative, BUT. Being pedantic really.
Is the "not blowing" of the whistle not a decision in itself, which he should not change?
While I did find the refereeing exasperating
The game it self was even more so and I suspect it would have been a nightmare to officiate.

Ocean. We were fine, but for a few mins I thought it would end up differently.
Quote from: Ed Hardy on Today at 09:03:08 AMSome effort put into that game yesterday, couldn't fault that! Wasn't easy to watch at times, but fully understand why they did it. Any word on Barry? Didn't look good him coming off.Is Ruairi about the panel? Desperatley need a big man who can win his own ball and hit a score
Few weeks off and then hopefully give the Tailteann cup another rattle, I'm sure there will be a few more players brought into the squad aswell for that, likes of Ruairi O'Hare, John McGovern.
