Twitter reacts: Controversy over Kilmacud Crokes incident - 'do Glen have grounds for an appeal?'

Watty Graham's GAC Glen and Kilmacud Crokes served up a brilliant All-Ireland Club final with the Dublin champions eventually sealing a two-point victory. 

Glen really came out of the blocks, scoring a brilliant goal from Danny Tallon with their first attack and were in the driving seat early on. . 

But there was some controversy at the end, with many on Twitter claiming that Kilmacud Crokes had an extra man on the field for Glen's final free of the game, as they went in search of a goal which would have earned them a win, deep in injury time.  Conor Glass had been denied a chance just before that by a brilliant finger-tip save. 

The game management and use of subs by Kilmacud Crokes to eat into injury time was another topic touched upon.

What's the story with Crokes having 16 on the field at the end of the game ? Do Glen have grounds for an appeal ? pic.twitter.com/mQkOnTpIWT

Kilmacud Croke's are All-Ireland champions. Glen had four near misses for goals in the final quarter. Outstanding save by Conor Ferris from Conor Glass the big moment. Kilmacud's great recovery to a poor start stood to them. Dara Mullin was superb, Ethan & Jack Doherty very good

Kilmacud wasted two minutes of the three added minutes with substitutions. Glen right to feel aggrieved by ref blowing up without allowing another play.#GAA #CrokePark
