That broke my heart Samin, i wouldn't mind if we'd lost by a point and all scores were valid but that one was a shocker. It was at least a foot wide and the decision cost us at least the chance of a replay! We had a great team that year, outlined by the hammering we gave Tyrone in the Semi-final and it was just a gut-wrenching way to lose!

From 1:30 on -

By the way -anyone see Tyrone's 3rd or 4th point (not sure which) last Sunday? It was clearly wide on TV and the umpire gave it. I know it didn't matter but its crazy this is still happening.
