Overcarrying

[Milltown Row2]

Refs take this approach to steps... if it looks wrong it is wrong. Them blowing overcarrying has nothing to do with how many steps the player takes. Ask them after they blow the whistle how many does the player take and they couldn't tell you.

Over 4 steps I tell them if they ask, you blow for over carrying there’s usually no complaints, but be rest assured when the other team has a player carrying it for 3 steps they’ll be bleating in your ear the whole game!!

Maybe the ref’s just blow the real obvious ones so they ain’t being tortured the whole game

Maybe in time we will have smart socks that measure the steps and message the ref automatically to his ear piece

Sean O Sheas goal, about 8 steps, but Conor Meyler takes the biscuit from 1.22 , about 12 or 13


Meyler seemed to take about 8 steps in that bit no? He lays it off to Harte who hits the top of the post. The scoreboard rolls over to 2 points. Then the ref overruled the umpires and the score is disallowed. Has there been any clarification on why that was disallowed?

Ball must go between the post, hitting the top is same as when ball goes over the post, a wide.

Thanks. Surely it depends on exactly how it happens. The one yesterday for example, as it bounces back between the posts, it should be counted as a point. The whole ball has to be over the line for it to be out of play. So the instant the ball does go out of play it is in fact between the posts.

I presume when it hits the top of the post it is out of play. Even it bounce back onto the field or between the post. Only my thoughts.

If it’s over the post it’s wide, unless you make the posts longer but that rule has never changed

Kerry player bounces the ball twice before passing to Clifford for his first point from play. Very hard for refs to spot these things in real time.

I’d say it would happen at least twice in a game but rarely caught

I've seen coaches on the sideline roaring at a ref for "two hops" but after viewing the footage it showed the player did a toe-tap that somehow looked like a bounce. Maybe her foot was very low to the ground at the time of contact, or something.

There would be sometimes in a match that the player hasn’t ‘control’ of the ball and you’d hear a cry for “two bounces” when actually he’s trying to gain control and looks like two bounces

Spectators do not realise that reffing a game takes a huge amount of concentration. It can be hard to spot steps, two bounces, jersey tugs, Marks, square balls. Decisions have to be made on the spur of the moment. Most Refs want to let the game flow. They don't want to be giving frees every minute.

Fixed that for you!

Players are going that fast these days u need about 6steps in the rule book.

From the coach viewpoint the curve of the field probably hid the player's foot and it looked like a bounce. Either way, it's amazing how people on the sideline see what they want to see and are convinced the ref missed something.
