No room for video technology in Gaelic games, says official

A LEADING GAA official has declared that the use of video referees to determine whether disputed scores dissected the goalposts or went wide would not work in Gaelic games.

The debate has cropped up yet again this week after a point that was awarded to Galway’s Ger Farragher from a sideline during the first-half of Sunday’s Leinster SHC semi-final against Offaly.

Spectators behind the Hill 16 goal and in the Hogan Stand enjoyed the best angles from which to judge the shot and there was an immediate roar of disapproval when the umpire waved the white flag.
