superglue I have just seen your reply to this and I believe you are wrong. read the rule again and if you still believe the ref made the correct decision then that is a sad indictment of our education system in this country.

To compound the issue, the frees are generally given against the weaker teams while the 'bigger' teams are rarely blown up for this type of tackling.

Since when do modern GAA teams/coaches give a toss about whether something is illegal or legal, or fair/unfair? joncarter (Galway) - Posts: 2692 - 16/06/2016 13:07:43 1867661 Link 0 |
How is illegal or legal for Tyrone when all other counties are doing the exact same thing? Donegalman (None) - Posts: 3830 - 16/06/2016 13:32:09 1867673 Link 0 |
Fair point. The post was directed at any team that engages in cynicism (all counties in other words). Its just that the thread deals specifically with Tyrone. joncarter (Galway) - Posts: 2692 - 16/06/2016 15:05:46 1867705 Link 0 |
I would have thought Peter Donnelly have that tackling in his time as Cavan coach? Another note hopefully cop on to the the Cavanagh brothers diving antics. Go to ground too easily rolling around CurranCake1 (Roscommon) - Posts: 130 - 16/06/2016 15:09:51 1867707 Link 0 |
Agree with the Cavanaghs diving but I'd also say it'd something all big men playing inter county GAA do. When I watch Monaghan sometimes I'm shocked at the lower half strength of Conor McManus and how hard he seems to be to knock over, I find that's when he's driving towards the goal. I also find myself shocked at how easily he can go down when challenged if the balls further out the field but still in "kickable free" range It's a reffing problem though, they don't judge fouls based on challenges they base them on whether the guy hits the ground, we've all seen fouls not be given because the player rode the tackle, you can't ask the player not to take a kickable free because he's a bit bigger if refs gave them based on fouls the diving wouldn't happen Seansy48 (Tyrone) - Posts: 237 - 16/06/2016 16:21:56 1867746 Link 0 |

I think you are hoping the ref reads this forum. Ridiculous post aiming it at Tyrone.

Everyone here commenting on how tyrone are fouling but give absolutely no examples of how to tackle fairly. The reason is because it can't be achieved...you can not remove the ball from a player without some sort of physical contact. kevin03 (Tyrone) - Posts: 276 - 16/06/2016 18:09:09 1867816 Link 1 |
All counties use the so-called swarm tackle now so I don't see why anyone should point the finger at Tyrone. However it is extremely rare that such a tackle is carried out without several players pulling, dragging or slapping the player in possession. In a one-on-one situation, if a player pulls or lays a hand on the player with the ball, the ref will blow for a foul. Why does not happen the player who finds himself being manhandled by a group of opponents or have the rules been amended to allow this. neverright (Roscommon) - Posts: 1648 - 16/06/2016 19:29:15 1867848 Link 0 |
