'The referee may allow this advantage to run for up to five seconds after the foul or for less time if is clear that no advantage has accrued,' it reads.
Why is it just five seconds, you'd have to ask?
The incident came up for discussion on The Sunday Game and on it, while accepting that Clare were unlucky in that instance, the Cork man feels they shouldn't be using Lyons as a scapegoat for their loss.
"I think Clare can count themselves unlucky in that," the former Cork keeper said on The Sunday Game.
"But I don’t think that was the biggest thing out of the game. Even from a Clare point of view, I think Clare would be better off looking at themselves.
"There is a tendency over the last while to be focusing out of those types of big decisions, but it is swings and roundabouts," he added.
"Colm Lyons didn’t strike all the balls wide that Clare did today. Didn’t strike all the balls wide last year.
"It was said there on commentary that they were the architects of their own downfall with that goal," Óg Cusack said, referencing Billy Ryan's dispossession of Rory Hayes, which eventually led to Eoin Cody's game-changing goal.
"That wasn’t Colm Lyons’ fault. I would definitely think going forward, it needs to be looking inwards, rather than looking for scapegoats, like Colm Lyons."
Speaking after the game, Brian Lohan did say that Clare 'didn’t seem to get a huge amount from the referee today, found it hard to get frees,' he added.
