Replying To BarneyGrant: "You ay be sure it was. Commentators were even debating whether there would be extra time as planned when draw looked likely, ag dul insteach in am breise. Seemed to think that it had to be "finished." What the mad urge to get everything over and done with at all costs is beyond me. Some of them be happier running an events company." Hard to bate th'oul days when Competitions used to run up to 2 years in arrears.... Seanfanbocht (Roscommon) - Posts: 1961 - 08/01/2024 16:41:11 2519080 Link
Replying To Pikeman96: "I'd often defend such decisions myself as I know how difficult it can be to work according to a fixtures calendar, but quite frankly, between frost and fog, I was surprised that either match got the go-ahead yesterday. I know referees shouldn't be influenced by such things when making a decision on whether or not to go ahead, but the bit of a cynic in me can't help wondering if the fact that there was live TV coverage of both matches might have been a factor?" I did nt think of that Pikeman but you might have a very good point there. CiarraiMick (Dublin) - Posts: 3845 - 08/01/2024 16:53:45 2519083 Link
Climate change will ensure wetter conditions for matches going forward. Also the odd drought and icy patches too. galwayford (Galway) - Posts: 2565 - 08/01/2024 17:44:29 2519090 Link
Replying To ForeverBlue2: "If it wasn't a free then you can be in the square before the ball… can't remember if it was from a free or open play" I'm not a ref and wouldn't want to be but is your rule for ladies football? Saynothing (Tyrone) - Posts: 2151 - 08/01/2024 18:37:22 2519104 Link

Replying To Saynothing: "I'm not a ref and wouldn't want to be but is your rule for ladies football?" No, it's for men's. It is not a square ball if you enter the square after the ball is kicked, unless the kick is from a free. Which it wasn't. Very simple really. cavanman47 (Cavan) - Posts: 5195 - 08/01/2024 19:13:44 2519115 Link

Not a lot of talk about club finals on Sunday Newyorkkat (Kilkenny) - Posts: 157 - 19/01/2024 14:23:38 2520966 Link
Replying To Newyorkkat: "Not a lot of talk about club finals on Sunday" Very little talk on here. Of the previews I'd read from pundits/journalist is they can't see past Glen from winning a few are going for 5 to 6 plus point win. Not sure about when you consider it was fine margin victories all through Ulster and against Kilmacud for Glen. Brigids would likely have to perform poorly to lose by that margin and coming into this game they have beat the best in Cork and Galway by 4,5 points so probably deserve a bit more credit.

It's as well to leave all the noise to Glen. Weather could spoil the game as winds and rain forecast. Naomh Bríd Abú!! Seanfanbocht (Roscommon) - Posts: 1961 - 19/01/2024 18:53:18 2521020 Link
Replying To Newyorkkat: "Not a lot of talk about club finals on Sunday" St Thomas' v O`Loughlin Gaels is, for me, hard to call. O`Loughlin Gaels have won close games from the Leinster semi-final onwards, But they always seem to finish their games strongly. St Thomas' had a very good, albeit close, win over Ballygunner. no mean feat. I've had a small bet (50% head,50% heart) on O`Loughlin Gaels to win .

Will these games still be on? Some rough weather to hit us on Sunday. Ulsterman (Antrim) - Posts: 9785 - 20/01/2024 07:43:05 2521063 Link
Replying To Ulsterman: "Will these games still be on? Some rough weather to hit us on Sunday." They'll probably wait until half an hour before the games are due to start, before making a decision whether to go ahead or call the games off.

The way I see it is that if Kilmacud had got over Glen then the pundits would be talking about a 10/12 point beating for St Brigids…. Glen are a very good side and targeted winning this title from the moment the whistle sounded in last year's Final… Brigids were very good in their semi final win but this is a big step up as regards quality of opposition… Their best chance might be with Glen thinking by beating Crokes that the heavy lifting had been done but I think Glen will be too strong… Hopefully the weather doesn't spoil what should be a great game…it played a huge part in last week's Junior Final being so good..!

With heavy rain and very high wins expected, the Gaa should announce in ADVANCE that the seating in the Lower Hogan and Cusack is full come first served. Otherwise supporters will get soaked if they are expected to sit in their allocated seats. This will stop rows and people saying "you are sitting in my seat". Easy to accommodate this will a smaller attendance than normal. letsgetgoing (Roscommon) - Posts: 633 - 20/01/2024 09:27:35 2521076 Link
