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
