And 3 referees, 4 linesman and 5 umpires… Enough of gomeless clowns there

Problem is with umpires

Fully agree! Hawkeye is done!Like any scientific test, once it's been proven as flawed, it's pretty much useless. It's a pity about all the games that have been affected, but we just have to move on! Let's get accurate scores on the 2 finals.

Agree with you the commentary we're thinking it was a point right until Nil went up. You have to wonder how many scores have been chalked off that were good recently.

If the flight of the ball is higher than the post the hawkers imaging extends the post to the flight of the ball. It's some mess now anyway.

1 standing with an alarm clock to waken them up.

Yes indeed. Its an effing computer. Things go wrong and it's expensive. The video ref is the way to go but that makes too much sense. The gaa hate following other sports like ladies football with the clock and rugby with the video ref. They followed their biggest enemy though with the yellow and red cards. The gaa are a disgrace with their lack of progression. It's also animated so I don't trust it anyway. Delighted today it proved inadequate.

Absolutely! Legally, you are absolutely correct. In fact, results can be challenged on the basis of faulty score keeping!

I watched a ladies game with ref cam once and it was a bloody disaster. Horrible shaky camera, added nothing to the contest. Whatever about anything else I hope we don't have to endure that in the years ahead. Galway9801 (Galway) - Posts: 1942 - 09/07/2022 21:27:46 2430901 Link 0 |
Nail on the head again there Mick. They are so backwards its not funny at times. Video Ref and the clock is of course the way to go and it would be a hell of a lot cheaper than Hawkeye. Hawkeye has thrown up too many mistakes at this stage for me. If it was an employee making those mistakes they'd be fired. I'll never understand the top brass's reluctance to try and improve things instead of persisting with the same old same old. Bon (Kildare) - Posts: 2092 - 09/07/2022 21:34:05 2430903 Link 1 |
Would higher uprights help for the human side?

Well this is it, confidence has been damaged now.

GAA players are scared of getting carded if they dispute with the referee. Shefflin got one on the sideline during Galway vs Limerick. We need a few more McEnroe types to dispute umpires. Black card to the GAA!

Gleeson and John Daly were both extremely annoyed. They couldn't believe the decision, but I suppose they didn't want to risk getting booked early in a tight game. I've mentioned a few potentially dodgy decisions by Hawkeye in recent weeks, including the U20 hurling final. The GAA would help the situation greatly by releasing a statement and clarifying for everyone, but all we get is radio silence. I'd be very surprised if they don't provide an explanation for yesterday's error though, as it was high-profile and so obvious.

Is it beyond people's comprehension that umpires are not at fault here? Is that not obvious? Did yesterday not prove that? Posters here criticising umpires when it's technology that's at fault. Mind boggling Claretandblue (Westmeath) - Posts: 1933 - 10/07/2022 10:47:00 2430973 Link 1 |
It's surely the end for Hawk eye… an expensive mistake ForeverBlue2 (Cavan) - Posts: 3091 - 10/07/2022 10:48:48 2430974 Link 0 |
Hawk Aye. Not 'himself' at all. Could be Covid? Wasn't 'switched on' for the Leinster hurling final recently, but could have been 'in isolation' that night. Will be expecting 'a statement' from Michael Martin today on the matter. A tribunal would be a measured response to this matter, going forward.

It used to function. Now it doesn't function. Would be interesting to know where and when and why it broke. A case for Primetime Investigates perhaps?
