The bookies ain't stupid. The handicap in the Antrim game was 12 points, Armagh won by 11, they don't get too much wrong

If it wasn't for two pointers the draw is a good bet, but the two points generally makes a draw harder..

Tyrone by 2, a sending off, couple of black cards and two controversial calls on the new rules

Well that's just going to change the direction

If anyone mentions the fact that champs League was bigger this year and the fact that no teams dropped down from the champs League you'd only be accused of sour grapes so better not mentioning these facts.

Europa League. Great bunch of lads

I'm glad you mentioned that

Fair play to Forest. Just when you think their bubble has burst, they pull another big result out.

Spurs are dung, I was say they'd beat Utd if they meet in the final lol

Surely the worst Europa league competition of all time. United looking like finishing 16/17th in league, spurs and a team from Norway in last 4.

The worst, the worst since the old cup winners cup, when any aul team could get to the final

Chelsea completely, the others not close

Means nothing to me really and I say that with regret as I'd like to have a belief in something that has a meaning to why we are here. But unfortunately life has shown that religion has caused so much destruction throughout the ages, that I can't view it as a positive nor do I believe blindly in things that can't be explained without using 'faith' as a reason/explanation


Reform needs to be done in all religions though as it continues to create division everywhere

You think this is bad you wanna see it when you try 😅

I'll happily state (and surprised it's not been posted) that I said (back in the day) when Ferguson leaves Utd, they will struggle but they'll still win the league before Liverpool.

Not the case lol..

Jesus, the trolling has really been poor lately

They were good but I wouldn't have them on a playlist

[clearly]

It sounded like the sideline was kicked just before the hooter there when they showed it again on the Sunday game. Although that may be a speed of sound thing depending on where the microphones were.

You could hear it a good few seconds before he kicked it but also took a few secs to be picked up on the closest mics

So you're saying that the hooter blew some 3 or 4 seconds before Ryan kicked the ball and on top of that it took 2 or 3 seconds for the hooter sound to travel to the microphone?

You're some hoot.
 

Watching on GAA+ it was hard to tell because it sounded like whatever primary microphone they were using for the game was very near a young girl and you could hear her asking questions which was distracting. The Sunday game audio definitely sounded like a kick before the hooter went. Hard to tell though there couldn't have been much in it.

What age are you lads?! Get your hearing aids adjusted - MR2 can help you. The hooter was clearly* going off before the ball crossed the sideline. I don't know what way the speakers are arranged but you could hear it in the background and then it got louder. There is a video on Twitter from the other side of the pitch which indicates the same. The Maor Uisce standing in the road didn't help him get the ball away.

*Could be an air horn in the crowd 😏

As I've said it could well have been going off but took a second or so to be picked up on the mic. On the Sunday game recording though it seemed like boot to ball noise then hooter noise almost immediately after. I'll have a listen to the GAA + feed later to see.

Just watched it again on GAA + hooter clearly goes before the ball is kicked it seems to start before the Monaghan official gets in the way of the kick being taken, it doesn't seem to start before the ball goes out of play.  Seems a pretty long hooter too

Barry Manilow size?  Is it the start of the hooter or end?

A free is a free, be it a technical foul or a physical foul, Cork can find themselves lucky that there was no hooter in this case, as the game was up on the Clare point.

The beauty of hurling is bar the hand pass, which was well marshalled in the Limerick game, no one is saying it needs changed, or tweaked.

The ref's across the board at all levels need to crack down on it if the can, steps also, if I run 6 steps around midfield the ref will blow, but if I'm bearing down on goal I'm 'allowed' an extra few as I'm generally getting pulled back.

The calls yesterday on the hand pass did eventually, in that game, make players think

Other than that the game is played by lads that don't hold their faces when they've been hit somewhere else

Liam Sheedy on the Sunday Game last night praising the Tipp forward for taking his 'five' steps before striking for goal. Doesn't help.

Yeah he'd need to read the rules first lol.. 5 is pretty fair though

The second one he must be referring to, as the first one was crap. Just seems to be another version of the Walking Dead. But that second episode was brilliant.

Well it's going to have post-apocalyptic zombie type trends, it's trying to be unique in its story I think is the hard thing to do, but ultimately they all fall into that similar storyline

Didn't see the game only listened to it on the radio, full biased at that lol, but from that commentary we coughed up a lot of ball be it in the tackle or frees, there sounded like a lot of good catching going on for Wexford too, which gives automatic primary possession, results in frees and opportunities

That said they did say that the ref favoured Wexford for the soft frees.
