Bring in football rule

Anthony Cunningham said the advantage rule introduced to football this year must be extended to hurling.

He made the comments after James McGrath blew for a free after a foul by JJ Delaney on Jonathan Glynn in the closing stages when allowing advantage may have afforded Galway a better goal chance than Conor Cooney’s subsequent saved 20-metre free. Two years ago, Cyril Donnellan had a goal disallowed in the All-Ireland final replay against Kilkenny after McGrath had called the play back for a Galway free.

Cunningham is adamant everyone would benefit were referees allowed a window of five seconds for play to develop to see if advantage is taken.
