Shane McGrath says the GAA should avoid any kneejerk reactions in bringing in a VAR-style system into elite level inter-county hurling or football.
While referee Johnny Murphy received praise for his performance in the modern-day classic All-Ireland final between Clare and Cork at the weekend, there was some frustration on Leeside that a late free wasn't awarded to Robbie O'Flynn at the death.
The forward clearly had his jersey pulled by Conor Leen before putting a shot wide from the 21, in what proved to the final act of the game.
Almost immediately, viewers around the country were able to see that O'Flynn had been fouled but by then, the Clare celebrations had begun.
