I think Ros got two points from play in the 2nd half, one of which was wide. Michael Duffy kept ye in it with a series of unbelievable frees to Roscommon that had even the hardiest Ros fans scratching their heads. As I always say, Duffy can somehow see every free that is 50 meters away off the ball but cannot see them right in front of his face. He should hang up his boots as its more comical he is getting. Today we had a Cavan player booked for trying to go down and pick up a ball, other ones booked for a push during a kickout. A roscommon player dragged a Cavan player to the ground in the 1st half, Duffy makes the action to show the player he pulled the player down and then gives the same player a yellow instead of a black. His umpires waves a definite Cavan point wide and then from a Carbon copy shot in the 2nd half give Ros a point that was clearly wide. Still I'd have taken a point before the game so happy enough.
I was situated in the non score board end. In the 1st half the umpires did indeed wave a Cavan point wide. The one we had in the 2nd half was going wide but curled in a correct call. We got two soft frees in the 2nd half but one of your defenders was very lucky not to give a penalty away when he touched the ball on the ground inside the square, play was waved on by Duffy and from the resulting attack Cavan scored a point. D Murtagh was also taken out in the build up to another Cavan point so the long story short he was bad for both sides & Michael Duffy shouldn't be allowed near a junior club game never mind a div 2 senior county game.
Anyway i wouldn't be looking to a poor ref as the reason we didn't win we simply didn't play well enough on the day & a similar performance on Saturday night in Newry will mean a certain defeat.
