kerry had to play the blanket defence as poor defence. Get away with fouling high up the pitch to get bodies behind the ball. Fair play to Gough having the stones to blow for kerry off the ball fouling. Hopefully other referees will have the nerve in future.

Just like you pick and choose a couple of posters from Ulster as being the voice of everyone from Ulster in your narrow minded rants, yeah?

As a Kerry supporter I've thought for years we don't have the mental strength for the tight, hard games. I think it's a sub conscious thing based on the fact you can't walk around Kerry without bumping into someone with an AI medal, that pure, raw hunger isn't in us because it doesn't need to be. Compare that to Armagh who have one AI win in all the years of the Championship, they will be bursting out of their skins to win it. It's also the reason we hate seeing the team playing anything other than free flowing attacking football, what's the point of winning another AI if you're bore the ***** off everyone in the process? dolfos (Longford) - Posts: 123 - 16/07/2024 10:45:41 2559450 Link 0 |
David had a very good game to be fair. Didnt fall for play acting and trying to get easy frees at the end, and kept a close eye on the off the ball stuff and strategic fouling. One of the best refs we have. Fionn (Dublin) - Posts: 3941 - 16/07/2024 11:07:52 2559454 Link 1 |
Who do we fancy in the hurling this week? Is Jack Goulding back for Ballyduff? Redzer99 (Waterford) - Posts: 71 - 16/07/2024 11:15:16 2559458 Link 0 |
The irony of someone from Ulster talking about others and narrow minded rants.

Funny to see a Limerick fan talk about another team and play acting and fowls off the ball.

So in over the whole history of the GAA you can pick out 13 games. Well done. Then again until recently you'd know a lot about losing games being from Limerick.

You don't even see the irony in your own post. I rest my case

If there is one rule that will hopefully go away in the committee review is the advanced mark. shaggykev (Donegal) - Posts: 284 - 16/07/2024 12:43:42 2559494 Link 0 |
It's a pity Gough does not have the 'stones' to blow for 'on the ball fouling'. There were numerous examples of the player in possession being mauled/battered/ struck by hands/arms/fists that went unpunished. By Kerry and Armagh.

I don't know why people are so exercised by the forward mark. Teams use it on average only 1.3 times per game so why will getting rid of it cure all the ills of the game? Compare that to the malaise of handpassing: 3.2 as many handpasses as kicks. Or, the problem of packed defences? Or the problem of players in possession getting battered and bruised and hammered from all angles. As for David Clifford's use of the mark: he did have 2 marks v Galway, but he scored 3 from play! So, his contribution from play was more significant. Generally, as with other top forwards, maybe he would be even more influential if referees didn't take the view 'that he is well able to look after himself'!!

More bad news coming from the Kingdom.Word is Cillian Burke being offered contract to play Aussie rules.We are being affected big time by the Aussies.Last year we lost Rob Monaghan a class underage minor midfielder that was expected to be a great Kerry player not to mentin Marl O Connor.If we had those two boys midfield it would be brilliant.Also I hear young Charlie Keating the speedster half back is being looked at.Its hard to blame the young lads though.Life is short and best of luck to them.

The way the game is being coached and played now Mick there will be a lot more young lads packing it in and it won't be to go playing in Australia… The enjoyment is completely gone from the game… If those watching it are not enjoying it God only knows how those having to play it must feel…? It's horrible when young talent leave the game Mick but it's hard to think of a reason why they would want to commit to the game in its current state….

I agree on the packed defences. Will be very interested to see can review committee find a way to fix that issue. My issue with the mark related to Clifford and other great footballers is the fact that option clouds the judgement. Do I catch, turn, kick or catch, turn and try to beat my man. Catching and then having a slow ponderous kick at goal is not great for the flow. Think of Donaghy in 2014 against Mayo. Thank god the mark wasnt there then. I want to see Clifford at his best. I want to see him only thinking about catching and taking on players. That kind of thing will improve the spectacle and with confidence, improve him as a player. shaggykev (Donegal) - Posts: 284 - 16/07/2024 15:15:03 2559539 Link 0 |
