A few have said this, particularly since Sunday, that there is an issue with the advantage rule interpretation
At one point in Salthill the referee gave Galway an advantage that seemed as long as a Six Nations attack! Then in the same instance later, Westmeath were deemed to have had their advantage over after a much shorter time frame
While it had no real bearing on the game, it is something that seems to be skewed..
The official guidelines simply state that the referee should allow play to continue for as long as a clear tactical benefit or scoring opportunity exists for the offended team.. so how does one advantage seemingly outweigh another when the result of both was the same? Seems to be a rule that's too open to interpretation and wouldn't like it to impact a game in a more serious way
