Obviously not all cute hoors in the Kingdom.I backed Kerry -3.Just heading down with the wheelbarrow to Paddys now.Bob Geldof was talkin through his hat - i love Mondays(:

I'm sure the wheelbarrow needed its wheel reattached with five minutes to go wasn't looking like a-4 game

This has been going on for years now, not just yesterday!

If the half flows reasonably well there will be 1 minute, if there's ANY sort of slow play 2 minutes will be given. This is a fact and happens in every game without fail year after year!

Uncle Fester, that's true, if there is no stoppages there is 1 minute. If there is 6 or 7 minute stoppages there is 2 minutes. Its so incosistant. There needs to be a way that the ref can stop the clock at certain times of the game eg injuries, talking to players, Hawkeye. I wouldn't say all stops though because then a 70 minute game could go on the course of 2 hours. But yes, the time the ball spends in play is a joke at the moment.

I'm in about 4 watsapp group texting away during the game were all saying "still time for Tyrone there should be at least 5 minutes injury time" next thing he puts up two minutes me phone went dead in one minute from everyone texting about two minutes injury time an absolute joke. Sure waiting on the hawk eye takes up a minute alone then Gooch is down for 2 minutes and then every other stoppage and they still come up with two minutes.

Four whatsapp groups????? Wow, you are so popular. Your amazing clondalkindub.

I thought 2 mins was fair.. what major stoppage was there outside of goochs injury?

Well there was the Hawkeye, about 30 seconds, there was the substitutions, there was the ref talking to payers and dishing out bookings etc

None of these as things the clock would be stopped for (not 100% on Hawkeye, but the rest definitely aren't added on)

If there are not 2 minutes added on in this half I will go mad...

Exactly 2 mins between free given and Cluxton kicking it...yet ref blows it at 5:48?!?!

Here we go again.I understand there was '4' minutes added on today but this is the biggest problem in Gaelic football. Forget about championship structures, mismatches etc if you can't have a proper time keeping system nothing works.
4 minutes were added on. I'd be surprised if the ball was in play for even a minute. Took cluxton at least a minute to take his last kick. Took Sheehan at least 80 seconds to take his free for whatever reason. People may say I'm bitter because I'm from Meath but if the tables were switched I would say the same most importantly because I'm a fan of Gaelic Football.
