Mid Kerry make most of late drama
However they might do well to reflect too on the justice of Mid Kerry’s success. A controversial injury time penalty may not have been the most emphatic manifestation of their dominance at Fitzgerald Stadium, but Aidan O’Shea’s decisive finish delivered the appropriate victor.
Was referee Padraig O’Sullivan correct in penalising John O’Connor for pulling sub Ian Twiss to the ground 90 seconds into injury time? Probably – and there’s no relevance to the argument that few officials would have given it at such a delicate moment.
