Good point, if every black card free was rewarded with a free from position 20 metres more advantageous than where the foul occurred, it would change dynamic. BlastCalyle (Mayo) - Posts: 206 - 21/04/2017 11:55:08 1981414 Link 0 |
here here, id expect a dublin player to haul down a guy bearing through on goal, and id be livid if they didnt. Do what you have to do to win.

Disagree Kerry one of the most cynical teams out there / constant fouling, third man tackles etc etc - they've taken over from many of the northern teams and Dublin.

were you watching the last 2 all ireland finals in the last few number of minutes the dublin lads were fouling everybody off the ball pulling players bk, dragging them to the ground to stop runners, its win at all costs now but every top team will do this as I've seen kerry, mayo donegal etc doing it. I bet you weren't shouting for ref to give mayo a free and black card the offenders. I agree tho the punishment needs to change maybe replace the player as is but add a 10 mins before teams replace player, also if you get 2 cards over season add a 1 game ban.

25 black cards since they've been introduced.

I was thinking that didn't sound right.

Name taken, yellow card, red card and these consistently applied by referees. It's not an easy job for referees but it can be done. GreenandRed (Mayo) - Posts: 7290 - 22/04/2017 21:48:22 1981775 Link 1 |
Would that not encourage players to dive even more?

It's up to the officials to spot that and penalise them if they do that.

It'll be the same thing though , the officials will spot some diving and not spot others, plus you'll probably end with taking a lot of the physicality out of the game and we'll end up like soccer. The GAA need to define the the tackle or maybe just make it that only 1 player can tackle another and not 3 / 4 players tackling one guy coz it gets awful messy then and it's a lottery to see will the attacker get the free or will the 3/4 lads tackling him (it looks like a man being attacked by an octopus) this little change to the rules would make the game a better spectacle and it would be easier to reff.

I would take away the black card and follow up by having a 10 min sin bin for what is now supposed to be black/yellow offences-this would make it easier for the Ref and help in taking out cynical play. Also It would not be as harsh on a player who is wrongly side lined, but would penalise the offending team. browncows (Meath) - Posts: 2340 - 23/04/2017 21:27:58 1981992 Link 0 |
The black card would have worked fine if the GAA had gone with the original proposal of having the offending team down a player, but instead they buckled to pressure from counties to allow a sub to replace the carded player. So now we have the lopsided mess of a system that pertains now, very much an Irish solution to an Irish problem. Gleebo (Mayo) - Posts: 2208 - 24/04/2017 09:05:18 1982082 Link 2 |
I agree gleebo, and you only have to look at the lack of retrospective action taken against our player and Dublins players after the league final where there should have been 4 suspensions for donnacha Walsh Michael McCauley James McCarthy and Philip McMahon to understand there is something going on. I mean the evidence is there for all to see. KingdomBoy1 (Kerry) - Posts: 14092 - 24/04/2017 10:33:18 1982120 Link 0 |
Ex-ref Pat McEnaney says, 'The black card speaks for itself'. Unfortunately it says different things to different refs. neverright (Roscommon) - Posts: 1648 - 24/04/2017 11:37:34 1982147 Link 1 |
