Ring: Cork won’t make issue of goal calls

Cork manager Denis Ring said his initial feeling was that the decision to rule out Robert Downey’s 41st-minute goal for an apparent square ball offence was the wrong call.

Downey ghosted into the danger area to redirect a long delivery to the net, but after being initially awarded and credited on the scoreboard, the goal was ruled out.

Galway manager Jeffrey Lynskey was adamant afterwards that it was the correct decision, though Ring wasn’t so sure and, in a two-point game, it was a major talking point.
