Is this not letting headquarters off the hook though? The association is a shambles when you compare it to the likes of premier league and the NFL.

Compared to billion-dollar associations? Who cares about that?

Correct decision from Glen. Clear this match was never going to be replayed.

VAR? The national felon league?
Not the best examples for comparison there.

Why would they go to all the trouble of objecting, getting a replay and then drop it??? Was it to do with Crokes recent appeal. Seems bizarre?

I imagine because they see road this is going down now (counter objections, DRA, etc) and feel it simply isn't worth the drama.

They were very pissed that they had to lodge an objection at all in the first place when the CCCC should have been able to make a call on it regardless.

Whole thing is a shambles.

Seems it was just a matter of principle and they wanted to make gaa call a decision on it but they never intended playing any game.

Pretty much. They've made the GAA and crokes look extremely bad out of all if this.

I think they’ve done exactly the right thing. A fundamental rule of the game was broken and it was ruled that a replay was the punishment. This outcome safeguards the game for the future against any future such wrongdoings.

Glen know this isn’t the way to win an All Ireland though so pulled the plug with their point proven.

Least they could do is not allow substitute players to enter the field until the on field player has left the pitch. Easy enough and does not cost a fortune.

Sure it only happened once
