Gough was fortunate that Galway won, If they hadn't won, he would've been melted on the spot by the extent of Joyce's ire post game. 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.

Caesar Luis Menotti managed Argentina to 1978 World Cup. Abiding memory him on the sideline smoking like a chimney. That was brilliant World Cup and the BBC theme tune stays with you forever.. anytime that World Cup is mentioned.

Apologies if mentioned before

But TSG said  this  was the first ever Munster football final to be  played in Ennis?

Is that true ?

The crowds are small enough to hold it in Ennis anymore.

Yes. Anytime Clare played Kerry or Cork in Munster final usually played in the Gaelic Grounds in Limerick.

It was only played in Ennis as clashed with the Great Limerick Run today.
