Ball hopping. Let's get it right! Ball hoping doesn't make sense!

Well Bon I make no excuses or sympathy for him. However I would like to see consistency. These jabs are okay in the getting to know you before a game starts, with the officials looking on. Also the useless camera shows what he did but not the slap on the elbow that made him retaliate. When the ref came and asked the umpire did he see a striking action he confirmed and Gleeson had to go. What about if he brought it to the refs attention that Gleeson got hit would there be a retaliation. Of course he will say he saw nothing. Everyone knows Gleeson will respond and what I seen going on in the league trying to get him put off this year is a disgrace. In Antrim it was off the charts. It is asked why would he do this with the game over but you can also say this of the Wexford lad. What saddens me most that this is twice by a Wexford player. DeBurca in 2017 red carded for helmet interference because Gleeson had done it several times. I often rerun than one. It is kinda laughable. The lines man is looking back the way behind the play but responds to the gig the player does when his unstrapped helmet gets knocked off. However I will agree Austin needs to take one for the team and not be so selfish. Incidentally it should never be about the benefit of the doubt because that is bias before you start.

Yes. I remember JQ well. He had a special seat in the old Bar in Pairc UI Caoimh and of course John O'Grady, a Kerry man also, who transferred to Cork only I think he never played with them . Martin Geary from Milford, played with Limerick and Waterford and his son Niall came full circle as a Waterford man who played football with Cork Oldtourman (Limerick) - Posts: 4467 - 27/03/2022 21:30:35 2407580 Link 0 |

Good weekend for the rebels. National league final and stayed in division 2 in football. We'll be jousting with the likes of Dublin, Limerick, Kildare and Louth next year as well as competing for Sam . We escaped the drop by skin of our teeth. Looking forward to hurling league final. Should be a cracker as both teams will look to maintain momentum. Disappointed that Gleeson is not playing. He's a star player…. Possibly can appeal the red card!

Totally agree it should never be about benefit of the doubt, what I mean is that all these incidents add up and a player can (wrongly) find themselves on the wrong end of not so sympathetic referees who've had enough of it. Especially as a guy who is so easily wound up he needs to be careful. Same as John Mullane, Graham Geraghty, Diarmuid Connolly. Absolute stars in their sports but guys who were never 100 miles away from some sort of controversy. It seems to go hand in hand with genius. That said referees and officials need to do more I believe to protect guys like these from opposition player tactics. Then the Wexford defender sold it to the umpire with his theatrics, and he umpire bought it as a strike with the hurl. Bon (Kildare) - Posts: 2085 - 27/03/2022 21:48:59 2407591 Link 1 |

Oliver Gough also from Graiguenamanagh won all Ireland senior with Wexford 1955,56 and with Kilkenny in 1963. Freedom to move around in those days!

Very dumb "TIME" to get a red card. I mean the game was out of reach. It was over as a contest. Pure stupidity. I hope he wins his appeal as I like to see full strength teams play each other but he's to blame if he can't play. Sigh. Trump2020 (Galway) - Posts: 2263 - 27/03/2022 21:50:10 2407593 Link 0 |

Do you expect both teams to go full strength or will there be a bit of holding your hand going on? I expect cahill might be inclined to sit out a few but i see cork going all out.

I expect both teams to go full tilt. It's a league final and both teams want to build momentum! Cork still can do some experimenting, before settling on a team!

Canuck I've mentioned about officials and there job on match days..I've seen the stuff forwards are putting up with and it's beyond me how the boys doing umpire see nothing..I know everyone says players shouldn't react but some players do,we have the problem in limerick..opposition know who to get at..how many times were McDonald and o Connor fouled today and no free given?also a ball waved wide with umpire not in proper place to see it,no goal scored..pa Curran looked as if he took ball over sideline leading to a goal..reffing today completely different to last night..I dread what will come in championship..one final question was there any hand pass penalized today??

Ha ha. Semple stadium yes. We've been there often enough. …. Just a typo… whereas "ball hoping" I have seen repeatedly on this site ! Another one is "loosing " rather than "losing". Hogan stand may need me to correct spelling errors. Ha!

With Gleeson though its almost always him instigating it rather than responding to anything so I've zero sympathy for him. Cahill was fit to kill him yesterday and rightly so. He was as good as I seen him in a long time yesterday. If he feels he has to react to something like when 18 points up that then theres no hope he will ever learn.

My god people do not want umpires replaced with technology for scores ? One shot on that end came in at an angle but went straight over the black spot and waved wide. I believe at least one other Waterford ball and maybe two were waved wide at the other end that were scores. The ball over the end line he could see and you can not trust t.v. camera angle on this even thought looked like he made an arc with his hand and kept it in. Again it looked like Patrick took the ball over the side line but hard to tell. What an effort by him though. It so simple. If the shot is coming in from the right hand side the left hand umpire needs to move along the line taking a step towards the field. The right hand umpire needs to move to the right and back in line with the pole. That is how you know if it went inside both posts.

Did the Wexford lad have to react that way 18 points behind ? Have you ever taken a belt on the elbow and know how it feels? All this league he has been singled out for treatment and that is just wrong. I am mad at him also and wish he would not retaliate and put himself and the team in that situation. Would not argue with the red card because the rules are the rules but how many times a game do players get away with this type of poke. It was minor to say the least and Simon knew damn well he over reacted and tried to correct that. I believe John McGrath's red has been rescinded. Don't know if that is correct. Your an honest guy. Would that be fair if this one is not ?
