Lynch feels a replay or additional periods of extra-time are preferable to matches going to penalties.
GAA president
Jarlath Burns has called on the association to consider a return to replays for drawn provincial finals.
Speaking to Newstalk, Lynch said: "I think everyone noticed that when it came to penalties it sucked the life out of the game side of it really, after an intense 90 minutes.

"For the five lads on both sides who stepped up to take the penalties, great credit to those guys. It's not something as players you practice a lot.
"I think hurling is in a great place and with all counties, everyone is pushing as much as they can, and I think for the supporters wouldn't they have loved an extra five or 10 minutes of extra-time? Maybe a replay... but take nothing away from Cork, they got the victory."
Burns told Newstalk: "I definitely think that any review should consider the possibility of replays, particularly in provincial finals. I just think that was such a game of drama, it was just a pity the way it ended.
"The Armagh-Donegal game could have gone the same way. I am totally in favour of replays."

Coleen Rooney picks up a bottle of vodka as she calls into her village shop after trip to Ireland with husband Wayne and son Kai
Coleen Roone y nipped to her local shop on Wednesday, shortly after returning from a trip to Ireland with son Wayne and eldest son Kai. The mother-of-four, 39, was spotted leaving a village store in leafy Cheshire - where the family own a sprawling new-build mansion - after picking up a bottle of Smirnoff vodka. The brand's distinctive logo was visible through the plastic bag she carried while making her way back to her car. Coleen looked relaxed in a plain white T-shirt and dark blue skinny jeans as she exited the shop with a white carrier bag in hand. Keeping things casual, she slipped on a pair of nude flip-flops and accessorised simply with a wristwatch. Her outing comes after she and her husband Wayne Rooney, 39, were every inch the supportive parents as they watched their son Kai play for Manchester United in the 2025 Super Cup NI. The Rooney's travelled to Coleraine, Northern Ireland, to stand pitchside and watch Kai, 15, play in the youth football tournament, which kicked off last week. The married couple also took their younger sons - Kit, eight, and Cass, six - to watch their older brother in action ahead of Man United's match against Co Tyrone. Ahead of the game, Wayne and Coleen were pictured looking every inch the supportive parents as they smiled for the cameras alongside their younger sons. Wayne, who also shares son Klay, 11, with Coleen, cut a casual figure in an all-black ensemble and flashed a huge smile as he stepped out to show his support for Kai. Meanwhile, Coleen looked stylish in a pink T-shirt and jeans, which she styled with a burgundy jacket. Kai took to the field when Man United played against Co Tyrone at the Riada Stadium at 7.30pm on Wednesday. Earlier in the week, Kai secured a huge achievement as he nabbed a goal in a 3-0 win over West Cork Academy. Wayne himself played in the Super Cup NI before shooting to stardom and shared some words of support for his son. When asked if he gives Kai any tips, Wayne said he simply 'lets him play and watch' and praised his son for handling the added attention because of his surname 'well'. Speaking to Super Cup NI, Wayne shared: 'He just plays, that's what he's done this whole time playing, I think it's very unfair for anyone to expect him to go and do all kinds, he's just playing as a young boy, he's 15, just playing and doing it. 'But of course he gets different attention to his teammates, but he handles that really well.' Wayne played in the Super Cup - formerly the Milk Cup - himself in 2000 for Everton's Under-14 side and described the time as some of his 'greatest memories'. The Super Cup is renowned for showcasing young and upcoming footballing talents. Kai has been showing off his burgeoning football talent all season, and recently took part in a match against Glasgow Rangers in the Super Cup NI.
