David Gough, who refereed the drawn says when officiating the game of this year he felt no pressure.
A lot of the focus in the build-up to the match was on the selection of Meath native Gough, with a few pundits indicating as he is based in Dublin, he should not have been appointed.
When 3:30pm September 1 arrived, he felt no pressure.
“It’s actually another game,” Gough told The Six O’Clock Show.
“I had spent the week beforehand with a sports psychologist who had prepared me for this moment. He made it.
“[The GAA] have given referees access to sports psychologists in the past number of years. It is big for us that we are able to go and visualise items in matches to help us prepare for your sport. We do need it, and it is a fantastic tool to have in our pockets.
“I just couldn’t wait to get on the pitch and then toss up the ball. Everything else just fades to the background then. The noise in the arena, the full capacity, you do not detect anything. You’ve 70 to 80 minutes of concentration. You see colours, numbers, jerseys. You do not even recognise the players, so that I did not feel any tension going in at all.”
The consensus after the game was that he made the right calls for the choices that are big, but Gough made it obvious he does not pay attention to the opinions of anybody.
He noted:”I do not listen to any of the analysis. I don’t wait back the game with any analysts’ remark. I see back the match myself, along with my microphone played it which is given to us by Croke Park. So I don’t really get caught up in some of the commentary.
“It is really nice for me to be able to sit and see a game and concentrate on everything I did and what I played, how I spoke to both players and how they talked to me.”
Cork’s Conor Lane will take charge of the replay on Saturday.
