Funny thing though those extra footballs don't come onto the pitch when Monaghan are behind in matches, must just be coincidental though. it's hardly a tactic is it?

I glad you approve. Funny, you must have missed that free though. I thought referees only gave other teams those. Dubh_linn (Dublin) - Posts: 2312 - 24/07/2018 19:29:13 2125858 Link 1 |
Happened all through the match in the Athletic Grounds in Ulster Semi v Down, and Monaghan were losing that from the start. Also in Carlow in the qualifiers to name but 2 matches. It seems it's only when Kerry are playing that these things become national issues !!!!! PearseBro (Monaghan) - Posts: 459 - 24/07/2018 21:05:37 2125894 Link 4 |
There is a simple solution to the ball issue in clones. Put up a net. If not it's only a matter of time before Monaghan or clones gaa are sued by someone who gets hit by a ball behind the goals. Donegalman (None) - Posts: 3830 - 24/07/2018 22:27:36 2125930 Link 0 |
Well done to Monaghan. You played us off the park on Sunday apart from injury time. woops (Kerry) - Posts: 2073 - 25/07/2018 14:29:25 2126113 Link 2 |
RE the balls coming back onto the pitch to slow the kickout, For me, its a silly rule BUT if there is a second ball getting thrown on deliberately, or by accident onto the field, the way you deal with it for me is by letting the game go on.. The reason it happens is cause people know the game will be stopped. waynoI (Dublin) - Posts: 13650 - 25/07/2018 15:17:42 2126142 Link 2 |
I completely agree - the umpire situation is ridiculous. When it is raised, people say "Well it's not part of their duties". For goodness sake, if one of them can't jog 5 yards and move a ball back behind the line then there is something seriously wrong with them. Eventually, after countless disruptions to both sides on Sunday, one umpire moved the ball and the ironic cheer from the crowd was something to behold. It's baffling that they don't aid the goalkeeper and move it, if only for the good of the game as an entertainment spectacle.

A young lad from Dublin wbo travelled up from Tipp got a broken wrist when he put his hand up to stop a ball heading for his younger brother in Omagh last week. Didn't the evening in hospital. Like why no nets....I don't get it.

They'd have to get there zimmer frames out to do that, it would take too much effort for them. if it happens continuously the ref should give a 13 mt free in to the opposition, bet they'd stop throwing the balls on to the pitch then,

Umpires are not allowed fetch or retrieve the ball, for the fear of potentially missing an off the ball incident. If an umpire did do it, the referee would be marked down on it by the assessor and potential not get games later in the season. Hope that clears it up. shaggylegend (Monaghan) - Posts: 1928 - 25/07/2018 20:04:01 2126235 Link 0 |
That explains the Licking then.

It's something akin to a player who is being replaced towards the end of a game by the team holding a lead. Somebody using a zimmer frame would make it across the pitch in quicker. Maybe the ref should just lift him and dump him over the line. (Only joking of course, but your zimmer frame comment set me on this line of thought)

It is really annoying. It must be to put keeper off his kick outs. I remember a team, can't think of who it was, but the water boy would run in front of the Monaghan kicker every time they were taking a free. It was a game in brefni and only seemed to happen when Monaghan had a free.

The football being throwing in for the kick-outs was a scandal, but i was in the terrace and it was a group of 15 to 16 years old,s that were off their heads on drink that was the cause of this, nothing to do with tactics or members of the Monaghan team behind the goal. I in fact had to ask one of these so called supporters to rein it in as the abuse they gave young Clifford in the 1st half was a joke, now people will say think of the children but on this occasion i would sooner that they weren't there AND THERE WERE PLENTY OF CHILDREN LISTENING . Not once during the whole game did they support Monaghan but decided they would insult every Kerry player in front of them. Monaghan fans are far more better than this behavior, except for a few young ones but then again every county has them mrsme (USA) - Posts: 172 - 25/07/2018 21:34:42 2126259 Link 2 |

Ye do lick up to the refs alot alright that's probably why they love ye, that and the money of course. Fair play to you for admitting though. KingdomBoy1 (Kerry) - Posts: 14092 - 26/07/2018 12:30:50 2126370 Link 1 |
