Brian Gavin: There's too much at stake, it's time GAA embraced the TV match official

Last week, I spoke about the importance of a referee’s team and unfortunately it was the topic of most discussions yesterday, writes Brian Gavin.

The decisions made by Alan Kelly and his umpires will live long in their memories as they will anyone who saw them award Tipperary a second goal at the Gaelic Grounds.

Dare it be said but it’s a moment that could, unfairly as it might seem, define Kelly’s career. How Alan didn’t give square ball for Jake Morris being in the parallelogram in the first place was the initial problem.
