Why Are RTÉ Not Showing The Div 1&2 League Final Live? - 24 Like(s)
Is it still April Fool's? TG4 give fantastic coverage throughout the league, bit unfair to then give final to RTE who don't bother with GAA coverage except for championship

Clare V Cork - All Ireland Hurling Final 2024 - 9 Like(s)
Replying To ForeverBlue2: "He missed a lot more than that…. Cork had a clear penalty which would have resulted in a black card only for Murphy to bottle it…He missed a blatant free in to Cork which led to Clare going 3 up near the end of et… should have been down to a 1pt game..And before someone brings up the line ball that went to Cork .. that was the linesman's call and nothing to do with Murphy… To hear the woeful RTE panel heaping praise on the referee and at the same time showing his errors was laughable…. Murphy in the end ruined what was a brilliant game of hurling that deserved to go to a second day… Well done to Clare on their victory" I feel sorry for you. It must be shocking being so bitter about everything in our wonderful association

Where do you propose to get these hundreds of refs from? 32 league matches would require 224 referees. What are clubs supposed to do? There were many hundreds of club league games on yesterday.

Anyone who thinks O Se deserved a card after penalty does not understand Gaelic games.

Did any player make a mistake in that game yesterday? Just curious as if he did surely he was set upon by 6-7 irate teammates physically assaulting him and verbally abusing him?

Alan Dillon Comparing GAA Referees With Soccer - 5 Like(s)
Rugby referees have made complete cock ups of crucial matches at the highest level. In 2017 Lions series the ref awarded a late penalty correctly to NZ but then decided as match was a draw to award a scrum. Beyond farcical. In 2015 WC Scotland were robbed against Australia by a ref who blew the final whistle as he ran for the tunnel. Laughable if it wasn't so serious. Rugby officials not nearly as respected as we're led to believe. The numbers playing each week are far fewer than GAA or soccer, hence fewer controversial incidents

Presume the commentators on here criticising Sean Hurson's appt will go back under cover again after a truly magnificent performance by the referee, he was the best man on the pitch after Clifford and Walsh.

We put together fifty mins of decent football, that's more than 35!! The behaviour of the Down supporters as John Heslin took a potentially levelling late free was shocking, has no place in Gaelic games. Northern supporters travel in great numbers and are passionate but their behaviour was disgraceful

Four points up in injury time, zero pressure on him, nice chip flick aside it was hardly Matt Connor in his prime

Limerick's indiscipline will cost them yet. Two reds today, no debate, they better tread carefully from now on.

The above story re manager's post match comment about the toss and playing against the wind is one that David Lynch should have words with Dessie over. The manager as good as blamed Lynch when it's his call or should be and he should be taken to task over his response. The way to deal with Wicklow was to hammer home any advantage, deflate them and their supporters, instead we did the exact opposite. Shocking stuff

Utter nonsense. Umpires have never received payment. Referees get a paltry mileage allowance. Players not out of pocket for their efforts. No one forcing them to play, it's a choice.

An embarrassing episode for the Association today. The people who appointed the ref should be held accountable for their decision.

Suggesting Matthew Whittaker starts instead of Ronan O' Toole is insulting to the Loman's man, he's not in the stellar form of previous years but he's still one of our top forwards and obviously opposing sides realise he's the one who makes our forwards tick, I've criticised the management team in the past but performances in the All Ireland series the last two years have been excellent, competitive in every game against highly rated top five or six opposition

Starting James Dolan after playing one league club match would be definition of madness. Croke Park no place for an older player against a young side. Ger Egan played reasonably well the last day but clearly hasn't 70 mins in him, understandably based on injuries and game time. James Dolan I'd see as an option in the full forward line based on club championship, definitely not wing back.

Replying To OverTheHill85: "Poor stuff from the minors yesterday, you never want to be overly critical as they are young lads trying their best but it was definitely a case of get it to Scahill and let him do the rest which at that level is never going to be enough, whether or not that's the game plan is a separate issue. A lot of people hyping up the Mullingar CBS team but honestly bar Scahill I don't think there's many that will end up playing senior county on that team. It was a fantastic achievement but I think they were the best team rather than a group filled with individual talent. Off the top of my head I can't think of really anyone of it who you'd say will be near a senior county team within the next three years bar the already mentioned. I'm not sure if any of them are starters for the County U20 team either." It's incredible the stuff people are allowed to post here about young players. A group of all Westmeath players win a Leinster Colleges title and now we have experts here writing off any of them as potential seniors of the future one month after winning the Colleges. Another poster wondering why none of them are starting for under 20s when at least 8 of the starting team are 18 or younger this year.
