And as Joe (rightly and constantly) bemoans the likes of Trump, the Tories, Israeli gov't etc for getting the lie out first, because that's the message that'll stick more the actual truth, he does the very same re the GAA.
Even our red hand neighbours would love to see us win Sam the year to see the hooer squirm, yes? Surely

Considering the 2 shocking decisions when Galway were trying to claw back the 3 point deficit, the two soft frees they did get just balanced things out.
But that's not how a game should be reffed.
Overall I thought Galway were well worth the margin of victory.
Think Gough realised that he gave Mayo a couple of very marginal calls heading towards injury time so gave Galway a couple of marginal calls during injury time. That's what it felt like at least. That said I thought Maher got clattered for that free. Even if he was expecting the hit. Not sure how that one is even controversial.
Maher dove after he knew he was not gettin it.
Tommy Conroy got all ball. The reaction of the three or four Mayo players around it really tells the tale, they were incredulous.
But as I said earlier Gough did not cost Mayo the game.
He Did give us a fair few 50/50 ones earlier.

A fairly central venue - where else would you play it?
Quote from: David McKeown on Today at 03:20:13 PMEven this bit doesnt make sense
5.44
When an Aggressive Foul is committed, the Referee may allow the play to continue if the referee considers that this presents the potential of a goal-scoring opportunity or another advantage to the team offended by creating or capitalising on time and space. The Referee shall signal that advantage by raising an arm upright and shall allow the advantage to run by maintaining that arm in the upright position for up to five seconds after the foul or for less time if it becomes clear that no advantage has accrued. If the referee deems no advantage to have accrued, the Referee may subsequently award a free for the foul from where it occurred, except as provided under Exceptions (v) and (vi) of Rule 2.2
The referee may allow the play to continue if there is a potential for an advantage in the next five seconds but can allow less if no advantage accrues in that lesser time. What if no advantage accrues after say 3 seconds but one might still occur. What does the ref do? The tenses are wrong are they not?
I am even more confused now by the rule than I was when i didnt actually know what it was

Quote from: armaghniac on Today at 02:08:48 PMHow does "Scoring chances converted" relate to the next two rows? In Galway's case there is a only a difference of one in the sum of the frees and scores from play, but in Mayo's case there is a difference of 9?
