Absolutely well done Galway. We can't blame Hawlkeye for last week because we lost it ourselves

Comer's second goal might put a stop to this latest fad of goalkeeper's sauntering outfield. Seen it especially with Derry,Armagh and Tyrone. Creeping into hurling too… it's a dicey practice! Rockies (Cork) - Posts: 947 - 09/07/2022 19:25:33 2430787 Link 1 |
Might request all games involving Hawkeye be replayed, especially those where a point or 2 difference involved. Am joking of course but it is hilarious! Hawkeye has been around a few years

So much of it seems so pointless too, keeper jogging long side the guy carrying the ball just for the sake of it.

Get rid of Hawkeye for both finals and have 3 umpires one standing directly behind the goal. Newyorkkat (Kilkenny) - Posts: 165 - 09/07/2022 20:29:37 2430862 Link 1 |
TBH with you there is a problem with that. In their eagerness to grab all, the GAA has allowed very little space behind the for even the existing Umpires behind the posts to get a good view of the ball flight.

Well they probably cost Limerick a Minor in '15 and an Under 21 All Ireland this year, although of course we will never know. But certainly two young teams should not have been treated so badly.

7 years later you would think the technology would have evolved further and those type of mistakes all confined to bygone days, but alas no. Amateur hour continues. Bon (Kildare) - Posts: 2413 - 09/07/2022 21:24:27 2430897 Link 0 |
I knew Lehane couldn't have hit all those frees wide against Galway! Ha ha .. Maybe we can toss a coin if a score is disputed? It's so bad it's actually funny, but like any scientific test, once it's shown as flawed, it's useless. The trust is gone!

Look Katser, every team that was even beaten by a narrow margin could look back and see chances that might have been taken and were not. BTW, Limerick only hit a few wides less than ye, but they still won and that is all matters. Sincere Congratulations on todays win and I hope ye go on and win it out now.

I think the goalies get cold and bored in goal, and want to get more involved. The Armagh goalie was a former outfield player!I never liked it especially in hurling. Patrick Collins was continually caught out in possession. Hopefully this will stop it!

First Galway all Ireland final in football since 2001. I often heard people jest in the last 10 years,that Galway will win all Ireland before Mayo. Galway will take some beating and won't fear Kerry or Dublin! Roll on!

Hawkeye denied Galway two points in Croke Park the last day...they'll have to change the name to Bateye!

I understand what you're saying. It's not Galway's fault that the other Connacht counties are football counties or Wexford's fault that 75% of the Leinster counties are not hurling counties. The provincial system does not work in either football or hurling but it was always lopsided in hurling. Eventually I imagine the GAA will grow up and devise a fairer system. It could scrap the league, no more than the railway cup it has had its day and introduce a league based championship. Get rid of the smaller competitions, e.g The Walsh Cup and have your traditional Leinster and Munster knockout championships instead. Above all promote and develop the game at grassroots level, without the clubs there won't be any hurling worth talking about.

I can understand how you'd like the Derry system of play, possession and short hand passing!

Problem is that local rivalries play a big role in the GAA and the provincial system guarantees regular matches between these rivals. I agree that the system is lopsided but rearranging it means that some of these could end up kind of fizzling out, but then again maybe new ones could form?

Agree 100%. Promoting the game at grassroots level is the most important thing. It was only a few weeks ago I was talking to a Cavan lad who was on holiday down here who loved hurling and played up until u12 with his club but then had to give up as the club had no more coaches to coach the older age groups.

Looking forward to hurling next week. Received 2 tickets from the club this morning. F4 (Kilkenny) - Posts: 47 - 10/07/2022 11:06:42 2430984 Link 1 |
If Cavan folk can ate their dinner out of a drawer, they can certainly hurl.

I have suggested replacing the smaller competitions with the traditional Leinster and Munster championships. The biggest 'local rivalries' were and will always be in the club championship.
