Two-Point Winners After The Hooter - 1 Like(s)
Replying To Seanfan: "Ye were all moaning about the play on till the ball goes dead system.
Now ye're all moaning about hooter ending the game (with exceptions)." Seems like a sweeping assessment that, and highly unlikely to be frank. Where's the data to back up your sweeping assessment?
From my own standpoint, i liked the dead ball after the hooter. Thought it was fine last year. In contrast, that finish to Kerry/Ros last Sunday would have me moaning. Lots of potential for problems regarding buzzer beating strikes, and the added need for precision clock management for it. I'm amazed that anyone sees this as a rule enhancement.

Replying To supermon: "Thats not what I said. I said if the same links made to Israel in this case, were made in a similar way to Russia, I believe the attitude would be different.
There is no way a compnay found with investments and bonds that would help Russia's war in Ukraine would be taken as a sponsor by the GAA. So my question why should it be different for Israel?" Indeed, so can you say for absolute certainty that, for example Electric Ireland & Bord Gais (both longstanding sponsors of the GAA) do not import Gas & Electricity that has ultimately derived from Russian sources? Russian oil & gas continues to be sold to countries such as India, Turkey & China and is then reimported to the EU 'legally' (lol) via those nations. The EU is still importing Gas 'directly' from Russia albeit at lower levels. Whilst there's plan to try and 'ban' backdoor trading, it will be easier said than done. Let's not be nieve about how the world is run. Have you called for Electric Ireland & Bord Gais to stand down as sponsors of the GAA or is that different?

Agreed,new hooter system already giving bother, imagine as the year goes on,is the game over as the hooter starts or when it finishes , Roscommon would probably like to know.

There. I'm sure ye'll have Beggan and co back at the stage." Think the Dublin game in a fortnight was the agreed return point. O'Toole obviously felt he was in right headspace to go back last week having played less football during the club season.
Can't imagine the Brigid's lads will be back?
Regardless, when we were at our strongest in the last 15 years the Hyde has been difficult for us. I think Roscommon -2 at 11/10 is as close to a 'good thing' bet you'll get all weekend.

Well the old rivalry back in town sunday . I still think ye have a really good team . Definetly not underestimating you . The clubhouse bar should be open anyway for this . Just a pity it's not on tv or being streamed anywhere. Andy ,Boyler and Ger on the sidelines should create a great atmosphere. I like Dublin at least most Dubs I kmow respect Mayo unlike some counties !

Replying To Fionn: "Well if Leopardstown Racing looks set to go ahead at the weekend, I think we should be ok." Is it! Ground will be treacherous. Small fields if it does.

Replying To WeGoAgain: "Went man on man all first half. Did very well. Sunday will be interesting. He'll probably mix it up.again." Exactly. So he's already experimenting, evolving his tactics. Yet all these headlines are saying "will McGuinness stick to his guns?" portraying him as stubborn and stuck in his ways. A lot of stupid clickbait and lazy analyses.

Replying To Fionn: "This should revert back to the way it was.
Moving a free up 50m for not handing a ball back needs to be looked at also.
Attacking players are acting the maggot in some instances to trick the ref.
Also, a 2 point score from a free that is brought back outside the 40m arc.
1 point for a 45 versus this, just dont make sense imo." I think there's more subtleties to this that one way or the other. If the hooter goes a team should be able to finish their attack - but I don't think they should be allowed to play keep ball for a few minutes. Id like a rule where if an attacking team has the ball inside the 45 when the hooter goes they can finish their attack. If they lose possession or send the ball back outside the 45 it's game over.
The rule as it is now is going to cause trouble - unless there is a time keeper who is given a few seconds latitude for common sense.
As for the 50m move - some refs are applying this wrong. Often the 50m penalty is given against a player after overcarrying - who probably thinks he has been given a free in for a hand on the back or something like that. The 50m move should only be for obvious play acting.

Replying To BarneyGrant: "Probably should have gotten at least a draw in Ennis. Badly defended goals killed them in the end.
A good performance but they count for nothing in a league if you don't get the points.
Need to win every other match now which is doable. Can't see Clare dropping a point. Dublin v Wexford headcto head for second place." We would have a very good league record against Clare. We won in Ennis last year.
I'm genuinely more worried about Kildare than Dublin and Clare. We will bring a performance for those fixtures but we're so prone to getting caught out when we're expected to win.
