What a ridiculous reply. I asked a straight forward question, and you start babbling on about "Have you ever officiated as an umpire" and other nonsense. So I can take it there are no qualifications required to be an umpire. No need to, at the very least, prove that your eyesight is sound (whether you wear spectacles or not).

I agree with you,on the three incidents in the Munster final and the other two incidents involving KK players.I was astounded with that decision in the minor game.

Only 500 permitted for the weekends qualifiers at the moment, hopefully this madness doesn't ensue and county boards, croke park etc. apply the appropriate pressure to the powers that be. bostonredsox (Wexford) - Posts: 4368 - 21/07/2021 22:36:21 2362688 Link 0 |
Sorry CC. I should have addressed that comment to some one else. I was just highlighting what I now feel is becoming a disgusting feature of our games. In my day if you behaved like that you would be considered some kind of a hysteric.

What multiple sending off incidents. Flanagan was sent once against Waterford in the League, when the Wateford player also made a big meal out of it, and Gullane was sent off three years ago in an incident in which his opponent got a yellow card for his part in the affair (and a few minutes later was left on the field after a very reckless tackle on Lynch). Please check your facts before you make absurd statements. Two did not constitute multiple the last time I checked the definition

Huw Lawlor has also mastered the theatrical fall as well, wait until the opponent is close enough to cod the ref, then straight to ground.

I am talking about a player rolling around trying to get a player carded or put off. Kilkenny do not try to get players put off. Tommy Walsh hit across the face in '09 right back up, JJ Delaney hit across the face in '12 right back up both offending players put off. Michael Rice hand destroyed by a wild pull in '12 was never the same player after walked straight off the field no theatrics. TJ Reid knee cap broken on a wild pull '12 no theaterics, Richie Hogan pile drived in '19 against Cork right back up. None of these offending players were put off. Big difference between trying to draw a foul and having someone put off. Cody has been on record saying as long as he is in charge Kilkenny will never play into that nonsense.

Cody is a gret manager but he can be blinkered too. For instance, I don't remember him commenting on the KK player who ran to the referee in the 2014 final trying to convince the ref that his helmet had been deliberately dislodged by Paddy Stapleton. He had already been awarded a free so what was he at?

Some of the refereeing that Galway u20 sides have experienced since their 'acceptance' in the Leinster u20 championship has been fiendishly biased. Alfie Devine. John O'Brien. Patrick Murphy the last night v KK. All performing like Dads taking the whistle in the local pitch, with 2or3 of their own young lads lining out against the parish rivals. Maybe it's a bit much to expect your average Joe from Carlow, to be balanced reffing neighbours against refugees. It's a regularly tiresome issue for Galway now though in that particular championship competition. Pope_Benedict (Galway) - Posts: 3422 - 22/07/2021 11:10:46 2362775 Link 0 |
Oh would ya stop. Nobody in Leinster cares about Galway being involved. If anything, they should be in at every level and I think most in Leinster would think this.

That strike on Tommy Walsh was one of the most dangerous pulls I've ever seen at that level. Tommy being Tommy jumped up, shook himself off, not a bother to him. All in a day's work for the great man. No slapping the ground there. Bon (Kildare) - Posts: 1909 - 22/07/2021 12:33:58 2362811 Link 4 |
You are joking you might think that but not all have done. We only got our first home game in 2018. How did this take so long if we were that welcome. And what about all the funds that Galway generated in gate receipts ? This was very slow to filter back to Galway! Us being there makes it harder for other teams to make the break through so naturally counties were against it.

Oldtourman Most of the time I agree with you but that is a lie. The Waterford player was hurt. If he faked it I would call him out. Gillane was a reactionary wild swing but still a red. Flanagan was facing his opponent and went straight for him two hands on the hurley head high.

Well ecad, we welcomed ye, with open arms, at all grades in Munster back in '59, including U21, when it came a few years later, and what did ye do. Ye threw over generosity back in our faces ten years later. I would not mind but Galway was starting to improve in '69 and I often wonder would ye have actually won more All Irelands if ye had stayed with your more generous Southern neighbours. Imagine twelve years after entering Leinster and they won't let your minor teams in. Time to Galway to realise who their real friends are and come back home.

You have bloodyban summed up nicely wexico…****taker, delusional and yes also to your earlier comment..he hopes people will forget and when they do cane back at him he takes off on a random tangent to deflect . He even has - or 2 cronies chip in to give him the semblance of ""authority on the subject". Your comments are spot on.

It's nothing new to the game. My dad told me about a game he was at between Galway and Cork and the great Christy Ring walked out on the field with his head wrapped in a bandage. Any time a Galway player as much as looked at him, down he went clutching his head, and was awarded a free every time.

Maybe we will thanks for the invite. Limerick tipp and Clare are all closer to us but would not fancy the trip to cork or waterford. I think it's still a joke that the lenister championship is not renamed to something different but sure maybe in 100 years.

Well said Oldtourman. Some of these propaganda peddlers will have their r own men on a cross unless they are "called " on their bs and held in check, with NIcky English feebly trying to feed their frenzy with his subtle suggestions aimed at keeping Limerick in the ref's sights. Ditto re "ourgame" narrative.

His point is there, there should be a yellow card for an obvious dive. If you could not see that, please don't ever take up reffing. Or were you just looking to take a cheap shot.

Great point! Cathal Barrett, for one, would not see more than 3 minutes of actual playing time.
