Harte annoyed by ‘easy frees’ awarded to Kerry

As well as taking umbrage with some decisions made by referee Maurice Deegan, Tyrone manager Mickey Harte felt more than six minutes of second-half injury time should have been awarded.

Although no clear rule exists on the matter, the guideline for referees is that 20 seconds of injury time is to be added for each substitution, and so with either side making four changes in personnel during the second period of yesterday’s game, time spent by players entering and departing the fray would have accounted for just over two and a half of the six minutes which Deegan originally signalled for.
