All Ireland Club Championships 2024

Dreadful decision. Charge all day long ffs. What's the keeper to do - move out of the way?

If he had have the 'goal' would have been disallowed

Jeez. You'd expect the keeper to move out of the way and hope the ball carrier would carry it over the line?

People say a lot of refs are ot of touch with the game and players. Don't see it myself...

How do u move out of the way of someone charging into you from a couple yards? You'd automatically wrap him to stop falling over. Can't understand why forward didn't drop ball onto his foot and roll it in.. or maybe cute enough knew outcome of charging.

I'm taking the piss, but yeah no ref's ever played before so completely outta touch with the game, players and posters on the GAA board

Now Milltown, I see on sports joe ie, and I recognise 3 names as refs, in my time, and they all say it was charging.

[Milltown Row2]

Now wildweasle74 if you care to look back, I said he made a mistake

But in all the mud slinging that's lost

[imtommygunn]

Only saw this on twitter. That's an awful decision.

Congratulations to Crossmolina I tipped them to win this All-Ireland before the All Ireland series started. Fitted that Conor Loftus was the match winner. Huge slice of luck to get that penalty but a bit of luck well deserved after such a horrible few weeks for the club.

Ballinderry handled their defeat well given their history and reputation.

Maybe he was just 'breaking the tackle'.
Does anybody know the difference between 'charging' and 'breaking the tackle'?

I'd say 99% of those who watch / play do. My wife does neither, she probably knows. Would have made a tigerish corner back in her day, but that's a story for another day

Very sad man. Poor form.

[downtothecore]

It's great for crossmolina given what they have been through this last few weeks

But,

 Its a terrible decision for he penalty. Ballinderry will deservedly be angry at this...

[general_lee]

Terrible decision, one of the worst I have ever seen, Ballinderry very magnanimous in defeat. Fair play to Conor Loftus all the same, some character shown by him.
