thats at games with cameras. No point trying to do this at the less than 1% of games every year that have cameras and enough cameras present as well for a TMO to be worthwhile My proposal works far more at every level and where incidents can and do get out of hand far easier.

Is rugby non contact? These are exactly the types of foul play punished in rugby.

100% right. There are some very dangerous instances that happen regularly in games that never get a severe enough punishment while others look worse but are pretty harmless and they can get red. Mayonman (Galway) - Posts: 1920 - 01/04/2023 16:46:47 2468156 Link 0 |

I get that, but where a video is available it should be used. In most club matches especially below adult level, the GAA is doing well to have a referee let alone impartial umpires and linesmen. They'd rather pay a mind coach for an inter county team than a linesman for a club match. ExiledInWex (Dublin) - Posts: 1336 - 02/04/2023 13:47:21 2468249 Link 0 |
I dont think so as it isnt where the issues with officiating in GAA are. its down the levels where far more problems arise and could be fixed.

It's a collision sport. Gaelic Football and hurling are contact sports.

There is not many on here that would want to go back to the game as it was played 50 years ago. However we are quiet all right with the antiquated methods of refereeing. The speed, skills, strength, cunningness, cheatingness of players has exploded ahead while the poor refs are trying to deal with this. Plus ambiguous rules that are the flavour of the day and then ignored. A video ref is a must that has a criteria to what is reviewable. Certainly indiscriminate hitting and any wrong play that leads to score or the score itself. Canuck (Waterford) - Posts: 3035 - 05/04/2023 20:43:27 2469166 Link 0 |
A video ref isnt a must when you have between umpires, linesmen 7 officials on the field and what training assistance they get isnt good enough.. fix that/improve what training they get, what powers they have etc before adding yet another official on top of that.
