Ger Brennan calls on GAA to introduce video technology

Dublin football manager Ger Brennan has called for the GAA to introduce video technology to assist officials in making crucial decisions, following his team's All-Ireland SFC semi-final defeat by Kerry.

Brennan highlighted three major decisions that went against his side: an early Kerry penalty, a second goal that could have been called back for a 'square ball' infraction, and a fisted effort by Ross McGarry that may have fully crossed the line before Kerry cleared it.

He acknowledged that his team's poor shooting accuracy—around 55% compared to Kerry's high 60s—was a contributing factor in the four-point loss. Nevertheless, he argued that now is the time for the GAA to implement a VAR or TMO system for pivotal moments.

"I feel strongly both sets of players today, all inter-county players and in hurling as well, video assistant technology has to come into play for key decision," Brennan said. "If the officials had an opportunity to have a quick look, take 30 seconds out and stop the clock, those decisions would have went in a different direction."

He also congratulated Kerry on their accurate performance: "Kerry took their opportunities and we finished around 55% shot accuracy rate and they were in the high 60s, so we had enough opportunities despite the decisions that didn't go our way."
