Shane could do without playing club championship this year.
Back has also seemingly been causing issues again.
The structure of the season leaves little room for getting over knocks
will we see him play for galway again ?

I don't understand the confusion on the Roscommon player fouling the ball. You are not allowed to throw the ball in football

QuoteRULE 4 - TECHNICAL FOULS
4.1 To overcarry or overhold the ball.
4.2 (a) To throw the ball.
(b) To handpass the ball without:
(i) It being Fisted
or
(ii) It being struck with an open hand with a
definite underhand striking action.

I've seen people on Twitter saying you throw the ball downwards to hop it. You don't. If you were allowed to throw it up for a bounce, what would stop you throwing it over a players head and running past him, like a quick lineout in rugby.

It was a definite throw. The controversy here is that the call was made in injury time of a knockout game. The irony is that everybody wants consistency in refereeing but most don't want the rules applied against their team in injury time.
is it really consistent when the ruleis roll out once every few years

I think he was down with this stomach bug that apparently ran through half the squad before the cork game .

Considering how Diarmuid O Connor played that day, I could see that has some credence.
For a man that literally runs himself into the ground every time he puts that Mayo jersey on, he was standing with his hands on his his knees 20 mins in, also got badly caught in the build up to that Cork goal.
Donr let that fool you, he can often look tired in warmup
its his abilty to keep going and going that makes him such a special player,

RTE's Dee Forbes & Declan McBennett are Directors of GAAgo. A public service broadcaster whose primary duty is to the public, is at the same time maximising profit by putting big games behind their paywall. It is a very serious conflict of interest.


Less of the paranoia. The number of games is determined by GAA as much as anyone else and RTÉ's involvement in GAAGo reflects its importance for overseas games where RTÉ is not broadcast. The GAA could have insisted that all QFs would be on RTÉ, but they want the extra revenue too and these were on Sky in previous years.

GAAGO is an overflow media delivery  vehicle required because of the short season. RTE's capacity to show matches is limited. 
I am not sure that profit maximisation is the goal of GAAGO.

There is more scope for making this clear by ensuring that club members get a discount, linking it to tickets so that you can watch the replay for free etc.
Some people think the 1937 constitution states that all GAA matches must be on RTE.

a lot of people assume the GAA is similar to RTE and Government Funded where as in actual fact the FAI got twice as much over the covid years and are now looking for 863m euro yes almost a billion so pay fpr their stadium. (needless to say they will not be contributing)
saying that
Also why at times can RTE use the news channel to broadcast games.
surely they could also use RTEJR  rather than a constant Cartoons  A football or hurley match might encourage them to exercise
and they also have a mainly silent Oireachtas TV as timing of event would rarely clash. or even the news channel at a push
most of these channels wold be a much better bet for Streaming than what could have been one of the biggest program of the year

is it usual for GAAGO to have a much longer break at half time that is need.

There seem to have been quite a few ex players from that kind of era have got dementia.

(I suspect it's going to be a massive issue for rugby players in years to come too - look at Steve Thompson the english guy).
Especially rugby forwards.
I think Jeff Astle was one of the first soccer players linked to dementia.

Hardly suprizng  and there will be many more as Rugby now consists mainly of huge *** induced player running as hard as they can n to another ****  induced  monster.
Several unnamed player have taken cases agaon RFU . they will probably be bought off to stem bad Publicty

If Louth think putting all 15 players inside the 45 for the whole match is progress rather than surrender then good luck to them. It's embarrassing.

Progress on whatever they were trying in Leinster final which was truly embarrassing.
good riddance  to louth  manager . his goal seem to be destroy interest in football
