Gaelic Football - Rules & Regulations discussion/clarification

[Farrandeelin]

Can a ref send off an umpire if he doesn't wave the flag for a score?

[screenexile]

Ref kept blowing the whistle when there was a clean catch from a kickout which made our lads stop.

Then when they didn't raise their hand he blew them for overcarrying FFS!!!

I presume that isn't the way it supposed to be he should only blow if the player raises their hand??!!

[Smokin Joe]

The ref blows when there is a clean catch which is eligible for mark.  The player can either play through it or take the "free kick" by raising his hand.

Jesus you're right I just checked it out... This is our 3rd match in the last week and no ref had done it like this previously which is why the confusion!!

Will know for again hopefully!

If you take a catch inside the small square you can still call a mark can't you? The only thing is you must come to the 13m line to hit it.

Is that correct?

We were told yesterday there was no mark inside the small square which I think is incorrect but not 100%. New rules are a lot for refs to absorb!

Any man that catches a ball in the small square and doesnt have a rattle at the goal should be standing beside me on the line

Was thinking that myself!

[Milltown Row2]

Well if the full back or keeper catches the ball in the small square he should call a mark, and not have a rattle!

I blow for every clean catch, up to the player to make the signal for the mark, if he doesn't, play on

Unless you're 3 points up with a minute to go of course.

Or you catch it falling forward and end up on the ground with the full back standing over you.

Thimas Davis had a goal ruled out because the scorer had lost his gumshield.

I think the ref got that stunningly wrong

[Milltown Row2]

Did the ref blow before he took shot?

It's a very grey area on the rules. I personally don't enforce it unless it's blatantly obvious, like when they start slabbering 

Seen a few debates on this and most sided with the ref

No. He spotted the lack of gumshield when tbe lad ran back past him.

The rules clearly say you caution a non complaint player

Had he been asked previously to put in gum shield? On that footage there doesn't seem to be much complaints, he's running over to sideline to put in the gun shield he should have had in from start!

Either way it's might cost them against Ballymun in the next match, he'll be wearing one then I'd hope
