Hawk-Eye 'stood down' after farcical goings on at Croke Park

Clear point ruled out after the video review system goes rogue. Should’ve gone to Specsavers.

HAWK-EYE WILL NOT feature in this afternoon’s All-Ireland semi-final between Clare and Limerick after it failed to register a clear point in the Minor semi-final at Croke Park.

The camera system proclaimed a point from Limerick’s Barry Nash was a miss despite the umpire raising the white flag to signal a point. Referee Fergal Hogan referred it to Hawkeye and farce ensued.

Supporters at home, and viewing proceedings television, watched a replay of Nash’s score, the Hawkeye replay confirmed it then declared ‘Miss’. The effort was ruled out and the Limerick players were livid. The game ended level and Galway won 0-23 to 0-20 after extra-time.

Hawkeye is having none of it.

Michael Lyster on The Sunday Game was given confirmation by GAA officials that Hawk-Eye would be ‘stood down’ for the remainder of the Minor match, which went to extra time, and the clash between Clare and Limerick.
