Brian Gavin: 'Reckless' foul should have seen Maguire walk 

Paul Faloon did himself no favours in getting another appointment after deciding not to send off Cork's Rory Maguire.

Like a lot of people, I’m not a great fan of so many non knock-out games so close to what should be the business end of the football championship but at least it gives referees chances to make names for themselves.

Martin McNally was the man in charge in Tullamore and he is a referee with huge potential, is very fit and games like this is sure to contribute to his progress. Having said that, he will have a bit of tidying up to do after this one.
