Fuckin hell, Ulster football is dead again
I'd hold no great candle for either of these teams but I still think they're both potential semi-final teams. Hard game to watch though.

I'm really curious what you've seen from either side to have that sort of faith. This is very mediocre fare

Yeah - I'd give Tyrone 3.5/10 with Armagh 2.5/10 for today's performances.

I disagree on the red card there. Well won by the Tyrone man.  Clever play.

Yeah what is the game coming to when a lad is sent off for kneeling on top of an opponent's head.

3
Given how poor Armagh have been and how much of the ball and game they have had Tyrone will surely be disappointed to be only up by four.

4
One on one with Rafferty and Harte hits the post.  Unforgivable.

5
Even in the summer, that pitch looks in poor shape

Yeah even compared to standard club pitches it looks in a poor state for this time of year.

6
I seen now in this game and the Ulster final where a defender pulls the ball out of the forwards hands, is that suddenly not a foul anymore, both were so obvious.

I think he got lucky because there was bodies blocking the ref's view some bit.

7
48 mins played a penalty goal for Kerry, the foul looked outside the area. 1-10 to 0-10 and Cork down to 14 men with a black card.

That ref just can't help himself -- needs to be a talking point.

It can be outside the box and a penalty though did they not say? If it’s a clear goalscoring opportunity, which I’m not sure it was

Definitely wasn't a clear goal scoring opportunity.

There's nothing in the rules about it having to be a clear goal scoring opportunity.

I don't think anyone can make the case that there wasn't a chance of a goal in this situation given the lack of Cork's cover and the fact that Geaney has scored a number of goals against Cork over the years.

Gough got this spot on imo.

Kerry fairly unimpressive bar Clifford (really can't see an All-Ireland in them) and Cork while they got close on the scoreline are still miles off being a top team.

remains debatable for me.  Either way that score was difference between the teams.  Good improvement by Cork compared to their last two championship games against Kerry but Kerry lacking the organisation and hunger they had last year.

Possibly if Paudie Clifford wasn't coming into the square unmarked but given he was I think there is no way you can say it wasn't a goal-scoring chance.

Half time Kildare 0-8 Dublin 0-13

Doesn't really look like any way back for Kildare in this.

If Kerry can get back to their best then that's a decent shout as it would take a really strange set of permutations for Mayo and Kerry to have to play each other again before the AI final.
Is the semi final draw made?


Entirely open draw this year while looking to avoid repeat match ups is my understanding, the predetermined provincial pairings of Ulster/Connacht and Munster/Leinster like last year are gone.
So let's say you had Roscommon, Mayo, Dublin and Kerry in the semi finals this year, only possible combo for the semi finals are Kerry-Ros and Mayo-Dublin as Mayo have already played Roscommon and Kerry and Dublin have played Roscommon already as well, there's no need for a draw.
Swap Galway out for Rossies in that scenario and it would be a draw with Kerry-Mayo the only fixture that couldn't happen.
Derry, Dublin, Mayo and Galway would be open draw with any pairing valid.

Again that's my understanding, have seen contradictory information as well but that was from a GAA clarification given to the Irish Examiner.

That's what in the rule book for the semi-final

My understanding for the Q/Finals is that all group winners in one hat, remaining four in other.
you cannot play a team from your own group in the Q/finals. i.e. Mayo if the win their group, cannot be drawn to play Kerry in Q/finals if they are one of the four non group winners.
Semi-final is an open draw, that is correct.

It's the same rule for the Q/Finals and the preliminary Q/Finals.

In both these rounds, teams who have met in the provincial finals [finals only - not all provincial matches]can't be drawn against each other and if possible, games between teams from the same group will be avoided.

The chances of there being a situation whereby a team might have to play a team it already played in the group stages are very remote but could technically happen if there are absolute freak results. However the reality is the odds of playing a team already played at the group stages are very small.

The preliminary quarter finals it will be four games where a team who finished 2nd playing at home against a team who finished 3rd subject to the rules above relating to rematches.
The quarter finals will be the four games between a group winner and the winner of a preliminary quarter-final subject to the rules above in relation to rematches.

I have seen Derry being penalised this year  because the derry player entered the D to pick up the ball . It resultrd in a throw up.
I believe this is the correct interpretation of the rule.

if its a derry kick out, then yes.
The ball must travel 13metres before being touched by a player on the same team.

It doesn't have to travel 13 metres before being touched by an opponent, as long as the opponent was more than 13 metres away (i.e. outside the D for a kickout) when the ball was kicked.


This is the rule as per the current rule book.

Quote
If the goalkeeper is not taking the kick-out, he shall stay in the small rectangle, and all other players, except the player taking the kick-out, shall be outside the 20m line, outside the semicircular arc and 13m from the ball until it has been kicked.

The ball shall travel not less than 13m and outside the 20m line before being played by another player of the defending team.

Why is pulling the ball from a player's hand not allowed?
Would it not at least tip the balance back towards defenders against ball carriers who seemingly can do what they like.
I don't see tackling the ball with fist specifically banned in the T .O.?

You are playing the man not the ball..

You can't tackle with a closed fist, yes clean contact on the ball is fine, its a yellow card if connecting with the player

Making contact with the ball with a closed fist is tackling with a closed fist.

All about interpretation too, if that is a clean take of the ball and no contact on the man did he foul him?

So you can tackle with a closed fist?

All I'm saying is if you tackle the ball cleanly, me personally I won't be blowing for it, if the ball is the only thing that is hit. It's a interpretation of that action

This is pretty much the interpretation by I'd say about 90% of refs.
Some refs will blow at any sight of a closed fist around the body.
Of the 90% some will just blow for a foul for a closed fist tackle, some will give a ticking and some will give a yellow and some will give a red if there's contact with the body - depending on how close the fist was to the ball/the level of contact with the body.
The rules committee could definitely do with providing clarification on this.

Put a keeper off in sin bin lately. The opposition where giving off that the player who went into nets had to be wearing a keepers top!! This based on Tyrone game on TV the week before..

I explained that they didn't have to wear a keepers top, wearing the keepers top only gives the 'keeper' the rights of a keeper, nothing else. these people giving off are senior div 1 managers

Our seniors were playing 2 different lads in nets at different stages, neither were keepers. One made a run out and the other hung back in one game, possession lost and the one with the outfield jersey on that day tried to take the kick out but the ref didn't allow him to kick it because the other man had the keepers jersey on at half forward. Do you agree with that one?
I can see the keeper jersey going soon if the game keeps going like it is now, no advantage in it. If you like saving shots you may go to the soccer.

Is the main “right” the keepers jersey give is to touch ball on ground in small square? Kickouts not an issue, anyone can take. I did see a game where an out field player took the kick out, ran on and received the ball back from the receiver. Ref blew for it, rightly, and the teams manager went mad shouting “he isn’t the keeper” but ref said he took kick and can’t receive it back, but the keeper could have as he didn’t take kick.

Also the keeper can't be shouldered/charged in the small square, all other players can be.

The rule about the kickout only says keeper so in this case the ref was wrong. Yet another terribly drafted rule in the rule-book.

Quote
A player in direct receipt of a kick-out may not pass the ball to his team’s goalkeeper without another player playing the ball.

I move O:Shea to cornerforeard, he's a good scorer but been bad a few yrs now.

A very good free taker. Beyond that doesn’t offer much more at the minute.

This satire ?

Was he not playing super stuff in the league for Kerry last year ? - his form seems to have just dropped off a cliff this year.
There was one bit of the game against Mayo when he had a head-start of about 3/5 metres on one of the Mayo players and the Mayo player beat him to it.
I thought watching it that he looked like a fella who is not fully fit/was afraid of going full speed.
