I've a fairly trivial question for the refs and anyone else who might know.

A few times during the Down - Meath match at the weekend a ball hit the stop nets and came back onto the pitch. The keeper grabbed a different ball to set up quickly for his kickout. The ref didn't allow the keeper to hit a kickout until the 2nd ball was removed, which the keeper then had to do because umpires don't seem to be allowed to do this anymore.

If I was the goalkeeper, and looking to waste time, could I just leave the 2nd ball there and wait for someone else to remove it?

Which 4 clubs can win it, surely 4th, 5th and 6th are all equally capable of winning it now?

St. Pat's are the form team at the minute but it may be too late in the season to make up the difference.

Am I right?

Island had a club wedding - we were on to get this game rescheduled from tonight for weeks and went to Co Board but Bredagh wouldn't allow for reschedule. Couple of 1sts available to play but Fielded majority of the 2nds team to play Bredaghs 1sts.


Thanks for clearing it up

Has anyone a link to this Hogan stand speech because it sounds amazing

A ref once told me that a goalkeeper from a kickout can kick it more than once. So technically the keeper could just dribble the ball soccer style up the field from a kickout but he is not allowed to lift it.
Any of the resident referees able to confirm this?

I've been over at a game. They used to have a marquee up for the championship games and hanging around the ground after for a few pints was good craic. Not sure if they are still doing that though.

I'm way behind but I've just finished season 1 of True Detective. Thought it was great, how do the following seasons compare?
