Today's All-Ireland SFC semi-final feels like it could be a turning point for GAA, given the amount of controversial calls in what was such a big occasion.
We wrote about the three big calls here, two of which gave Kerry a goal, with the other denying Dublin one.
After the game, Sky Blues boss Ger Brennan criticised the decisions and called for the introduction of video assistance technology into GAA.
He said: "The penalty, that was a poor decision.
"The second goal, it was a square ball.... that's not my opinion, that's just the facts.
"Having had a chance to look back at the video footage, it was a goal for us, and the referees need assistance as there's so much happening."
He added: "Why do we not have video assistance technology, I think that's something that needs to change for next year.
"I think referees deserve it, I think players deserve it, because everyone is putting so much into it."
Scorers for Dublin: C. Costello (0-7, 1 tp free, 1 45); C. Basquel (0-3); C. O’Callaghan (1 tp), P. Small, C. McMorrow, B. Howard (0-2 each); S. Bugler, N. Scully (0-1 each).
