@askpermanenttsb hi team, I have a critical issue (account access) that needs to be sorted and am unable to this via online options, nor am I able to reach anyone over the phone. Can you organise a call back for me? Would appreciate a quick response. Thanks. Ronan

@hookhockey @FIH_Hockey A non statement, no further information provided , when you are asking for tolerance because someone is an amateur, it looks like the decision was incorrect and you are seeking forgiveness,

Congrats to @IreWomenHockey on Olympic qualification! Epic keeping @Ayeeishaa #Tokyo2020

Hard to find interesting readable articles on the modern day madness of politics. This one (Brexit related) is worth a read: Like Northern Ireland, Great Britain is reaching for nationalism over economic sense https://t.co/l5QqyEvHUa #brexit

Huge congrats to @shirleymccay on an epic 300 caps! True stalwart and ever reliable in the Irish defence. All the best @IreWomenHockey today - backing your experience and quality to shine through. Going to be a fantasic occasion!! @irishhockey

[Grant Schubert @GrantSchubert14]

🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️ Wow Wee!! Got me shaking my head! Those @irishhockey blokes will be guttered for some time for what I feel once again a shocking decision by the third umpire!PC if any contact was made.Shame to end it in that way. 3 game home & away if you’re doing it like this @FIH_Hockey

[Michael Watt @mikiewatt]

It appears the telegraph were entitled to an explanation from @FIH_Hockey previously but the Irish men aren't? I thought they didn't comment on umpiring decisions as a principle? @hookhockey

Hockey careers ended, Olympic dreams shattered & years (& years) of nothing but hard work & dedication from all players diminished... Honestly still can't believe what happened @FIH_Hockey !!! A decision that will carry pain for a lifetime - heartbroken!!

[Shane O'Donoghue @shaneod16]

Dreams shattered, lives changed and left heartbroken. @FIH_Hockey hang your head in shame! You've a lot to answer for...

[David Fitzgerald @DFitzy23]

With time to reflect devastating knowing our Olympic dream is over & was taken from us when we'd done enough. @FIH_Hockey your incompetence changed the futures for a group of young men who gave everything to the sport. Sad day for the integrity and reputation of our sport

[Ronan Gormley @rogormley]

Not strong enough words. Having viewed the scene in the cold light of day, and alongside the definition of a stroke, the situation becomes even more unacceptable. A sporting abomination. Step up @FIH_Hockey

[Ryan Bailey @RyanK_Bailey]

FIH rule 12.4 on penalty strokes. Don't know how you can say definitevely Lee Cole committed an 'intentional offence'.

Ireland captain Jonny Bell says the video umpire should 'hang his head in shame. A decision like that at this level is not acceptable.'

Strong words.

[Ronan Gormley @rogormley]

Mirrors the thoughts of many. @FIH_Hockey the Irish (and general hockey) public deserve at the absolute minimum an official response.

[Jonty Clarke @JontyClarke]

@FIH_Hockey @IreMenHockey @FieldHockeyCan @irishhockey That is a complete travesty of justice. The video umpire has just robbed Ireland and their players of an Olympic Games. I can’t believe what I saw!

[Ronan Gormley @rogormley]

No sour grapes, congrats & best of luck to Canada. @FIH_Hockey the video umpire's ineptitude has decided the fate of a group of Olympic hopefuls. Simply put - a disgrace.
