Wasn't surprised to read that Nemo Rangers' manager Ephie Fitzgerald was none too pleased with referee Joe McQuillan after yesterday's one-point defeat at the hands of St Vincent's.
The football final was a great game and I've thought about it and discussed it a lot since yesterday.
I think on reflection the Dubliners deserved to edge it, firstly because of their huge work rate, and secondly when they were pinned to their collar in the second half they rose once more to the challenge.
Quinn and Diamond were absolutely brilliant at this period of the game and they fought for those inches which helped win the late disputed frees.
Nemo were also architects of their own defeat missing a couple of what should have been handy points and committing the mortal sin of dropping high balls short and into the hands of the keeper.
I do have some sympathy for Fitzgerald about the refereeing however and even in the first period I thought that Vincent's seemed to be getting the rub of the green when it came to tight decisions.
Sometimes, it doesn't matter but after a one-point game Nemo will have a sour taste for some time to come.
