Quote from: thewobbler on Today at 07:09:43 PMDefinitely Armagh got a few soft ones and very fortunate I thought to get the foul on the left side in the 2nd half but that was one which Rian missed. I think Down lost because they shot themselves in the foot with poor decisions in the latter part of the game, such as the mark a bit to the left where the kicked hadn't a hope in hell of scoring a point.Quote from: David McKeown on Today at 07:07:09 PMQuote from: Milltown Row2 on Today at 07:02:10 PMThat last free, he didn't blow for the 'first' foul, blew for the obvious round the neck free, spoke to linesman, free then given for first free (which you can't do) and thankfully he missed
Three times in the game he over turned frees awarded to Armagh and let's not mention the on the ground he gave with the ball a foot in the air
But he also gave Armagh a few soft ones.
On balance I think Down did better out of his decisions. But the referee wasn't a determinant factor in the score line of this game, not even remotely close.
