Puke Hurling

(Oldest Posts First) - Go To The Latest Post


Watching Galway v Wexford and all i could think of was PUKE HURLING. Galway was always a attractive team to watch until they started playing in the Leinster championship i think they began to copy Kilkennys physical structured type of play similar to a football team.

There are challenge games in the 1st few months every year if you dont like the cut and thrust of competitive hurling.......

I never remember Kilkenny playing as you call it Puke Hurling,. They played total hurling from my memory. Time maybe for Galway to take a look at themselves rather than blaming others.

Possession is the name of the game now look at Tipp last year to this year. They knew why they weren't good enough and adapted their style of play. Hurling goes through phases teams adapt more quicker now than before. It's a much more level playing field.

Rest assured only long hard looks are being taken at ourselves. Do you really think the players get together after a performance like that blame anyone but themselves?!

That is a piece of advice they should have taken years ago. At senior county level they should have had far more success considering the pool of quality hurlers available to them over a long number of years. If you can win only one in every five All Ireland Senior Finals you contest, there simply has to be something wrong at home.

Not a comment on Puke Hurling but more on the rules as didn't want to start a new post just to query this one thing.

Was at a club match at the weekend. Ball was played long in to the full forward line, forward chasing on to it, it hits the ground and as it bounces up the forward strikes the ball with the hand in to the net. Referee blows for a free out and disallows the goal saying you can't pass the ball with hand in to the net. At the time I thought it should have stood as the player was never in possession of the ball and from checking the Rules I think my assertion was correct i.e.

3.2 A score may be made by striking the ball in
flight with the hand(s).

I can see the rule which I think the referee applied:

A player on the team attacking a goal and who
is in possession of the ball may not score;
(i) by carrying the ball over his opponents'
goal-line, or
(ii) with his hand(s)

But the key mistake I believe from the ref was that the player never had possession of the ball. Was the ref incorrect to disallow the goal?

Who from the Galway setup is blaming anyone other than ourselves?
What's your comment based on apart from one anonymous poster on a message board, who lists Galway as his county. So because he seems to think Leinster has affected our style (which is complete nonsense), Galway as a whole must stop "blaming others" even though nobody is.
Stop the seafóid talk, good man.

Yes possession and playing extra men in defence is more the norm funny how hurling is copying football in this regard after all the bad press football gets.

As far as im aware the goal should have stood.

Depends on the quality of the referee though as you know offside.

Probably shouldn't be bothered responding to you cos your post shows how little you know about the factors contributing to our poor All Ireland record. It is a self evident fact that the old system of direct entry to All Ireland semi finals is the major reason why we have such an appalling All Ireland final record. It also didnt give us a way of measuring the real quality of our underage teams because even though they had been relatively successful, winning 2 games to win an All Ireland didnt really tell us how good or not good they were. Since 2008 we are on a more level playing field and our modern senior record should only be judged from that year on. At the moment it stands at 1 win from 4 which indeed is bad, but over the course of the next 30 or 40 years it should balance out

I agree 100%. The other poster from Galway complaining that Galway playing in Leinster was bad for Galway hurling and the style of play must be mad.

Yeah though not going to be too hard on the ref in this instance bumper as there was a bit of uncertainty among a few of us watching as to the validity of it. Plus he is relatively new on the scene and in the few games I have seen him this season I have to say was very impressed by how he handles the game.

Yes i agree Galway is being dragged down to wexfords standard of puke hurling playing with sweepers and the hand passing possession game.
