Has anyone questioned what the many officials was at to allow the game re-start with the too many Kilmacud Crokes players on the field? Those officials won't or shouldn't be getting another All-Ireland final anytime soon.
It can and does happen. It was very chaotic at the time and the onus (rightly or wrongly) is on the teams to get their subs off.
But for what happened afterwards, being informed of the error and just ignoring it and blowing up the game, for experienced officials in a game of such magnitude, it most definitely should be a huge blot on the copy book.
But then again if the ref blows his whistle and stops the quick forty-five because a substitution is still in progress there’d be a crying session as well. They can’t win sometimes. It’s easy being an expert on it with the benefit of hindsight.
I don't know where this quick 45 is coming from. Some people trying to muddy the waters. There was 70 seconds between 45 being awarded and taken, loads of time for KC to have their subs in order so they are not innocent in the chaos that ensued. Had the 45 been stopped or retaken there would absolutely be no issue.
The issue is the 45 being allowed to stand with 16 on the field. Had Glenn scored a winning goal there would have been a shitstorm. They didn't so we have the different shitstorm we currently have.
So 45 absolutely should have been retaken and I'd even argue there should have been an additional play afterwards from the kickout if it resulted in a quick score or wide as the case was.
