Offaly manager Leo O’Connor expressed disappointment that so many refereeing decisions hung over his side’s heartbreaking All-Ireland final defeat.

O’Connor questioned if his team should have been awarded a penalty, rather than a 20-metre free, when substitute Cathal Robinson had a hurley thrown at him as he bore down on the Tipperary goal on 53 minutes.
