Seeing now that it is 2017, the GAA need to introduce a TMO. G.A.A._fan (Laois) - Posts: 102 - 05/03/2017 18:21:55 1964014 Link 0 |
totally agree - to start with id keep it for televised games janesboro (Limerick) - Posts: 1502 - 06/03/2017 11:51:39 1964461 Link 0 |
Agree with that. Funnily enough it's coming into soccer on a trial basis, they were discussing this on newstalk on sat and one of the lads was against it but the very next item was a penalty given in a premiership match where in fact the attacker had handled the ball. It won't solve everything but would go a long way to solving the black cards issues etc lillyboy (Kildare) - Posts: 429 - 06/03/2017 11:59:24 1964469 Link 0 |
TMO would be a disaster for the game as it slows everything down terribly and rarely improves the level of refereeing but I do think it will be brought in sadly. In the last rugby world cup when all games were reviewed it was found there should have been something like 17 red cards awarded - there was in fact 1 given. And that was with the use of TMO!

It could really slow down the game. Also so many calls are subjective and open to interpretation that I don't think people would be happy in anyways. It isn't the silver bullet that some think it is. MesAmis (Dublin) - Posts: 13693 - 06/03/2017 12:58:50 1964516 Link 0 |
TMO is the easy part and a nice concept, the structure of implementing it is the difficult part. a referral system can be used strategically to gain an advantage. There has to be a natural starting and ending point to what decisions are looked at as GAA doesn't have the natural breaks in a game Rugby has.

For inter-county games there are 7 in-game officials, a sideline official, and in some cases there's also Hawkeye. They need at least to be getting more from and improving communication between the match officials before spending cash on TMO equipment and training people how to use it.

Only for goals, penalties, and off the ball foul play. Other than that, it would ruin our game as it has rugby. Pinkie (Wexford) - Posts: 4100 - 06/03/2017 15:35:10 1964646 Link 0 |
A game where a referees decision wasn't disputed?! I don't think I have ever been at one. Even with TMO you will still have many decisions you will disagree with, the only difference is it will have taken much longer to make it.

Broadcast quality cameras, cameramen, monitoring equipment, training will be some if the costs either paid by the GAA or contracting a third party for it. How much will that cost and how will the GAA pay for it. GreenandRed (Mayo) - Posts: 7290 - 06/03/2017 16:07:03 1964671 Link 0 |
No Soma, I am only advocating that a TMO is used for potential red cards, penalty kicks that aren't clear cut and for disputable goals not for any of the minor indiscretions throughout the game. G.A.A._fan (Laois) - Posts: 102 - 06/03/2017 16:07:27 1964672 Link 0 |

But then a big game gets decided by a point from a dubious free awarded 40 yards from goal and there is an outcry that the technology is available to get the decision right but it isn't used, which is a fair argument. This is how these things always progress until eventually every dubious incident is looked at. The occasional refereeing error is an inevitable part of sport, just like playing against a strong wind in the first half that dies down at halftime - it's unfortunate but you just get on with it and a team benefits as often as they suffer.

Going a bit off topic but is Hawkeye in GAA used as goal-line technology too? Can only remember it being used to decide on points scored/missed. GreenandRed (Mayo) - Posts: 7290 - 06/03/2017 17:15:50 1964708 Link 0 |
GAA is an amateur sport. TMO needed in Soccer more than GAA. More money involved in my opinion. galwayford (Galway) - Posts: 2513 - 06/03/2017 17:18:17 1964710 Link 1 |
No bizarrely Hawkeye is not used for goals. It's for points only.

I think that is because the system used in GAA is more basic, it just tracks the flight of the ball like in tennis. To determine if the ball has crossed the line a much more sophisticated and expensive setup is required.

The best solution for me is that Managers get 2 challenges per half. Throw the challenge flag if there is a doubt and then there will not be the constant stoppages which a TMO could lead to. Also it would take the pressure off the officials a little bit. The management team could take the blame instead for not challenging.
