"It’s nice to know what we already knew. We didn’t think anything of it until we sat down to watch The Sunday Game because the Westmeath goalie made a half-hearted attempt but none of the Westmeath defenders said a word because it was obvious.”Fergal McGill, who's the GAA director of games administration and player welfare, has also welcomed the new video footage which shows that you cannot believe everything you see on TV:
“It just shows - and we have had this on several occasions with disputed points - that you cannot rely on TV cameras because of the angles that they’re taken from. We would just ask people to bear that in mind." “When an umpire or a referee makes an absolute decision, they’re there on the spot in real time looking with their own two eyes at what happened and it’s very unfair sometimes for a TV angle to be used to slate them afterwards when in fact they 100% did the right thing. “This (footage) of all things shows that the umpire was correct but it also shows the folly and the danger of people reacting on one piece of evidence rather than having all of the evidence.”We were as shocked as everyone else on Sunday night when we saw it initially, but thankfully the alternate angle looks to have cleared up the whole mess. Maybe nail the nets down next time though.
