TG4 brought fans closer to the action than ever before as they attached a live microphone to the referee during their live coverage of the final of the Kerry senior hurling championship.
John O'Halloran is the name of the referee in question that took charge of today's final. At various stages throughout TG4's broadcast of the match, audio of O'Halloran explaining his decisions to players was relayed to the audience at home.
Fans have longed to be privy to conversations between referees and players for years. Unsurprisingly, TG4's decision to 'mic-up' the ref for today's game has gone down a treat with GAA fans.
