Replying To Charliepace:  "Great performance from roscommon. I was watching the game live on tg4 stream i was watchong tge clock it froze at 69.59 for about 3 seconds. The ball was in flight but had not gone over as the hooter went."
It does nt have to.One the ball is in flight the score has to be counted like basketball.Once it has been kicked or punched before hooter goes.Likewise if a free is awarded and then the hooter goes,the free can be taken and if scored direct it will count. In fact not only did young Kennedy ounch the ball just before hooter but he was entitled to a mark anyway as he caugth the ball before the hooter so the last point was always going to be a score.

Can't claim marks from a free kick I don't think?

Good display yesterday. Younger players really adding to the game for Roscommon. The influx of youth is impressive and needed as the modern game demands it. Thought Lambe, Ward and Carey did well. The blend of youth and experience is good. Noticed a few decent young footballers from the last few years now involved with the Senior hurlers. Tommy Morris, Conor Morris, Mike Moran, Liam Og Coyle all playing at varsity level too. Good win on home soil. Monaghan at home on the back of a poor result v Armagh won't be easy but hopefully a home win is possible. A stay in Division one would be superb.

Since when can you get a mark from a frees?

Cawley won Kerry the match, First goal a square ball, Penalty a joke of a decision and fouls on both Murtagh and Lambe before he gave Kerry the last "free".

I think the point (pardon the pun) is that according to the T.V the clock was slow to start when the free kick was taken. The free was kicked and the ball in flight before the clock resumed. If the clock started when the free was kicked the hooter would have gone before Kennedy got possession. However it's the clock at the game and not the clock on the telly that matters. Kerrys first goal was not a square ball like some people say but the last free kick was never a free

It was a square ball. Penalty was extremely soft too.
