NFL Division 1 2024

[Rudi]

Roscommon were poor,  but probably should have won it. Keeper had a shocker for kick outs, worth at least 3 points to Mayo,we handed them a goal. Referee bought all the usual cynicism from Mayo, he was awful.
The only time he should be let near a whistle again, is when he goes to a rave.

Mayo versus Foireann Eile in the league final

[Rudi]

Referee is shocking, giving us nothing.

Gave Mayo a few handy 14 yard frees. Didn't Burke manage referee Brendan Cawley club Sarsfields at one stage?

He did, certainly didn't show.

Jack Carney has really come on this year.

Jack Carney has really come on this year.

A excellent player. Mayo have good options in the forwards.

Justice for roscommon and their antics. Cox v Ruane was just embarrassing. Dive after dive.

How to give blinkered account of today's match.

Conor Cox should be on a soccer field. Thank Christ the ref didn't fall for it. What was the hop ball for below in the corner? I think that passage of play led to the second Roscommon goal...

The subs weakened us and strengthened the Rossies. McStay better figure out a way to avoid a league final.

You must be on E tabs yourself

I was taught when young to tackle with 1 hand to the ball and the other out or u get blown for fouling, now lads just seem to double slap with both hands, even when 2/3 around a lad, that's not remotely near tacking. Between it, diving, pretending u hurt to waste time, and as a few pointed out booing in last night's game, we become more and more like soccer.

[trueblue1234]

More examples in today's 2 televised games of 3/4 men slapping at the man in possession, constantly fouling and winning the free for their efforts... A real gear grinder

Each to their own. I hate the sight of a man getting bottled up and throwing themselves to the ground in the hope of winning a free. Some people want a contactless sport unfortunately imo.

But it shouldn't be a case of each to their own, its breaking the rules. And a minute later you'll see a ref blow for 1 player slapping at a player... Yet multiple players are at it and it's fine.

Didn't see it myself. Some people think because a player is bottled up with arms out closing down a player that it's a foul when it's not. More often the forward running into outstretched arms hoping for a free due to the contact.

Mayo looked 1st half that they would go on to win by 8 to 10 points but Roscommon like they have been for most games in this league produced a good 2nd half with impact off the bench and in the end Mayo just win by 2 and can be thankful they were gifted a goal to keep their noses in front.

[Wildweasel74]

That's not true, you can see players slapped away with both hands, not holding him up, go watch some of the instances again

Gaelic football has gotten so hard to referee. Players in todays game practice how to win frees. It's hard to distinguish between legitimate and fabricated fouls.

To add to it many referees have never played the game at any level.

Then there is a majority of the viewing public who don't have a clue of the rules or their interpretation.

[Wildweasel74]

We need to extend the step round to 6, given lads are all going by that now in ever game.
