There's been another disaster for Hawkeye this evening during the All-Ireland quarterfinal between Armagh and Monaghan.
Hawkeye was unable to provide a verdict for a sky-high shot into the Hill 16 end in the 12th minute of extra time from Michéal Bannigan. After a torturous wait, a screen appeared that read 'Hawkeye Data Unavailable'. In the end, the kick was ruled out a wide, and Armagh were given a kickout.
The ruling would have been vital for determining the outcome of the game - if it was indeed a point, Monaghan could have won the game before penalties took place.
Another Hawkeye failure
The 2022 All-Ireland semifinals were marred by two Hawkeye incidents- one involving Shane Walsh and the other involving Conor Glass.
Walsh had a free wrongly adjudged by Hawkeye. A Glass kick was scrutinised for its Hawkeye ruling though the GAA later said it was working perfectly for the kick.
The GAA conducted an investigation into the incident and blamed a few factors, including 'a minor hardware failure' for the incident.
The GAA can confirm that a full report into the issues relating to problems with the score detection technology in use in Croke Park last weekend has been received from Hawk-Eye.
"A combination of unrelated issues, including minor hardware failures, led to an erroneous finding for a score towards the end of the first half of the first GAA Football semi-final, which was promptly queried by match officials who subsequently took the decision to award the score.
"Hawk-Eye have also confirmed that there were no historical issues with the system and that the problems experienced relate to last Saturday only and specifically to the Hill 16 end goal for that specific moment in time.
"The GAA is to undertake a full review of its own protocols relating to when and how the system should be stood down if similar challenges are to arise in the future."
