Aerial catching is without doubt one of hurling's finest arts. Pinkie (Wexford) - Posts: 4100 - 06/03/2018 11:13:40 2082151 Link 0 |
It would just be another rule for the hurling referees not to enforce so don't think it is required. In football games I have seen I would say 3/4+ of the time the player plays on but even in the football the referees seem to have different interpretations of it as few seem to enforce the time limit on the player taking the mark releasing the ball or the distance away opposition has to be, or if the player plays on the rule on the steps/time on the ball before the opposition can tackle is often overlooked. In most cases if they play on they are surrounded pretty much straight away or likewise if they take the mark the opposition slow the play down by either not retreating or moving slowly away from the player who has the mark yet remain unpunished.

Worth looking at the 'Free Puck' rule as seen in the Super 11's: 'Where a foul is committed a free puck or penalty puck shall be awarded to the opposing team. If a player from the team which commits the foul is in possession of the ball he shall immediately release the ball. Free pucks shall be taken from the point at which the free puck is awarded by a player from the team awarded the free puck playing the ball in any permitted manner. All players on the opposing team must immediately retreat 5 yards and cannot impede the taker of the free puck until he has taken 4 steps or the referee calls play on.'

No I don't think it does. Defenders have to be allowed to defend Onfor15 (Wexford) - Posts: 524 - 06/03/2018 12:04:57 2082165 Link 0 |
Ah sure they can flake someone with their hurley or elbow, then take 8 or 10 steps, throw the sliotar in the direction of their hurl, rise it, and away they go, in loads of space. m_the_d (None) - Posts: 1099 - 06/03/2018 12:13:10 2082167 Link 0 |
No for me. It would create an artificial part of the game. Where teams would be lobbing the ball into the square. It'd be kinda like winning a corner in soccer. MesAmis (Dublin) - Posts: 13704 - 06/03/2018 12:20:43 2082170 Link 0 |

No it will slow down the game, the reason the mark was introduced in football was because when a player jumps up and catches a high ball by the time he lands on the ground he is surrounded by opponents and unable to release the ball and therefore the ref blows up for a foul for over carrying, the mark is a way to strengthen the player catching high balls and to award him for doing so. All that will happen in hurling is it will slow down the play, allow defenders to get back into position or allow the marker to strike for a point, leave hurling as it is riverboys (Mayo) - Posts: 1389 - 06/03/2018 13:15:02 2082185 Link 0 |
you need to watch more hurling,plenty of players catch a ball and get bottled up and cough up possession or a free blown against them for overcarrying. i think you are missing his point above,if a player wants to run off with the ball there is nothing stopping him. perfect10 (Wexford) - Posts: 3929 - 06/03/2018 14:21:47 2082212 Link 0 |
As the auld man used to say, this is hurling, a stick game, if your willing to put your hand up to catch the ball you better be willing to have your fingers broken. Ahhh the oldschool, you can't beat them. :D realdub (Dublin) - Posts: 8584 - 06/03/2018 16:24:43 2082246 Link 2 |
