...and sure wasn't the entire Tyrone half back line spotted in Sarajevo in 1914 the day Franz Ferdinand was shot?! I'm looking forward to the day we can finally prove Mickey Harte faked the moon landings aswell. extranjero (Wexford) - Posts: 375 - 25/05/2016 12:52:23 1858459 Link 3 |

Ok, so it would seem then that most posters think that the rules of the game should not be implemented. well it's easy to see now why referees get away with it then if no one is bothered by the rules. I don't know any other sport where a set of rules are drawn up and then not adhered to by either the players or officials plus the supporters think that's fine too. It would be interesting tosee what teams would come out on top if the games were played by the rules. s goldrick (Cavan) - Posts: 5518 - 25/05/2016 14:11:12 1858506 Link 0 |
Goldrick,i have highlighted the the grey area regards the "tackle" in football many times over the years.It never surprises me to see one referee blow for a foul when another referee will let play go for the same tackle.In tight games you would be terrified of a bad/wrong call going against you.The tackle is far to open to referees own interpretation and you would be scratching your head trying to second guess many decisions in nearly every game.

it is crazy that referees are not aware of some of the rules. take for instance this rule which was blatantly ignored in the Cavan v Roscommon game last year denying Barry reilly a point from a sideline kick as good as any you could wish to see. s goldrick (Cavan) - Posts: 5518 - 26/05/2016 10:49:46 1858765 Link 0 |
A referee has the power to give a card during half time or after the game.

But then surely a dive is just being clever too? At what point does it become dishonest is the question. On donegal, they were outstanding at it under mcguinness. They had it down so well you nearly had to admire how good they were at it. I cant help but laugh when I hear people talking about mayo in the 2012 semi, when effectively they were fouling guys in front of the posts and getting cards to beat the band! We were like an Opel Corsa compared to Donegal's Rolls Royce! TheMaster (Mayo) - Posts: 16187 - 26/05/2016 12:32:43 1858852 Link 0 |
I always thought that fella with the ball has definitely been fouled before he over carries or loses posession, where swarm tackling is involved. I agree with a previous poster that the swarm is a skill and a sign of a well drilled team. Superglue (Kerry) - Posts: 1283 - 26/05/2016 15:06:10 1858935 Link 0 |
yes but if he didn't see the incident and played on for a full minute afterwards (and remember there were 2 breaks in play) and allowed all the players to leave the field How or why did he then decide that he had to red-card him. That is the question. are refs allowed to look at videos of the game at half-time and retrospectively issue cards.

They play on the edge jimbodub (Dublin) - Posts: 20600 - 26/05/2016 16:11:37 1858987 Link 0 |
All the top teams play on the edge as regards tackling, not just Tyrone. However I do agree that a lot of this tackling is fouling & should be blown up by the refs. You see a lot of times the player on the ball being tackled by up to 3 opponents and hands going in from all directions making contact but no foul given.

Once he is made aware of an infraction, in this case at half time, he gives the card at the next opportunity. The ref can give cards out before, during and after games.

Everything Tyrone did in Sunday's game will be looked at, analysed, and mimicked or exploited. If they're doing something new in the tackle (don't believe so), and refs are happy with it, then they won't be the only ones. It's a physical game after all.

Funny you should mention Kilkenny, this thread reminds me of the stuff they used to say about then, tut-tutting the use of 'dark-arts' etc., all conveniently forgotten and everything rosy again when once in a while some team comes along and flakes the sh*te of Kilkenny and beats them at their own game. Take it as a compliment.

It didn't take too long - championship has just started - Tyrone play really well and win without all the rubbish they seem to get accused of year on year - things that other teams do without the same sort of condemnation and the daggers are out already. The only thing I can put this down to is jealousy from other counties (Down, Cavan, Fermanagh et al) - what else can it be? The Cavan fan who posted it should wait until Monday to see if there is anything else he would like to share following their game with Armagh. I'd say it will be a borefest with negative and cynical play. Get over it man and worry about your own team. IrishGael3 (USA) - Posts: 1092 - 27/05/2016 10:27:05 1859220 Link 1 |
