Brian Gavin: Colm Lyons got most decisions right in game made easier by teams' gulf in class

The decision to send of Ronan Glennon was correct as he elbowed Peter Casey’s head.

The call every referee wants to get comes about 10 days before an All-Ireland final.

So many people including myself figured it would be James Owens’ mobile phone that was going to be rung after he refereed the Munster final and an All-Ireland quarter-final. In his final year at inter-county level as he turns 50 years of age, it would be a perfect send-off like John Keenan had a few years back.
