There were four or five of them converted in Páirc Uí Chaoimh and a lot of them didn’t feel justified.

Referee Colm Lyons may come in for criticism in the wake of the Dublin-Galway game. 

There are too many developing referees rushing to make decisions when taking their time is the best option. 

James Owens continued his return to form with a good showing in Clare v Tipperary

What happened in Páirc Uí Chaoimh, Walsh Park, Parnell Park and O’Connor Park this weekend was ridiculous

Some of what went on off the ball was ridiculous and both Clare and Cork have to take responsibility for a lot of it. 

The stakes are now so high, a TV review official is probably never more needed.

Hurling officiating is currently a whirlwind, while football is a breeze.

I have no doubt that if Murphy had seen the foul on Robbie O’Flynn, he would have blown for it but there was silence, O’Flynn’s strike went wide and the Limerick man soon followed it with the final whistle.

My timekeeping in the 2013 All-Ireland against Clare has been a talking point in Cork down through the years but I was completely happy with how I handled it.
