Fair play to Eunans. Championship can carry on now!!

Credit to match officials who ref our games!! I have a gripe with some of these new rules esp the advantage rule..some refs play it out where others give 10 seconds and that. It would be better if they all played the same length so when you have a new ref you know where you stand as the previous one may have different views!!

Anyway, big weekend again. Looking forward to it!! If Termon manage to beat Glenties and Kilcar beat Gweedore do Termon become favorites?

Replying To Ulsterchamps_32:  "This scenario happened in an all ireland club final so it's not just a donegal thing. Of course the officials should do better but be pretty sure the officials are plenty disappointed with themselves. I wonder is there more could be done in the process of the substitution to stop it happening."
Just do it like they do in soccer. A complete halt to proceedings until the ref notes the change and the player being replaced has left the pitch.

You're right and think at intercounty level they've done a lot to clean up the substitutions. It can slow things up and it can get very busy it et but its just something that will just have to be lived with.

County board should have stepped in and ordered a replay. Officials are human and can make errors no issue with that, but like kilmacud and Glen it shouldn't have been imposed on eunans to object for justice to be served. As usual GAA great at ignoring the obvious and players deserve better.
