Not sure if she personally broke the rules, never seen an official list, that's immaterial though.

The reality was that it made the news because members of SF who were in government were 'seen' to flaunt the rules

That was and is an own goal. Those responsible? Those that turned up who weren't invited I'd assume?

Not the responsibility of the family though, no controlling that

Wouldn't be his biggest fan if I'm being honest lol

My father had his service from the same church, we had the 30 or so that was allowed but from the short journey from his home the place was packed with mourners, and outside the church it the service was played on a screen

Great clubman of ours had his funeral during that period, plenty lined the streets and we insured distance and so on..

There were plenty of funerals up and down the country that did their best to stay within the rules, and failed but Storeys will only make the news.

It's embarrassing that it's still a bone of contention, that said, it was always going to come back and bite them in the ass.

Cuffing people for driving on an extra 20 meters

He's lucky he didnt have a broken tail light, that allows the cops to stick the knee in the neck

Not sticking up for the Polis here, but somethings are well understood - not f**king around at the scene of an accident is one of them. Can only imagine that tensions were running high given there's some kind of accident that has led to an hour delay.

No one is saying there wasn't a accident in this case a loss of life, but enough of the cuffs and 'Back up or you're going to jail also!' crap

Whatever happened to 'Wooo big man, tell ya what it is, there's been a bad accident down there, someone has lost their life in a collision, do you mind waiting here till we sort it out? Cheers...

No lets go all nuke lol

The draw will throw up some games, as a neural who can't comment ;)  Two teams getting out of their groups handy enough, the rest will be a toss of a coin

These are generally fouls when its against your own team and when it is your team is doing it, its not a foul.

There in finishes the lessons

Quote from: JoG2 on May 16, 2024, 10:57:46 AMGianni - Google GAA Official Guide 2024 part 2. Download the pdf. Football rules from page 60 to 122.
The problem is that the manual does not help solve all my situations that I have written. I have already read it but it didn't help me.

QuoteBare in mind as we've seen on here, the referee's handbook within the GAA Learning Portal has more important detail on some rules #minefield
Is there a referee manual? Maybe a casebook but where could I find it?

Quote from: Milltown Row2 on May 16, 2024, 11:02:12 AMOther question:
The ball may be knocked from an opponent's
hand(s) by flicking it with the open hand
But when the ball is released or is bouncing or soccer juggling, i.e. I mean when the ball is not in contact with the hand, can it be stolen by touching it or grabbing it with both hands?

You can't wrestle the ball away from an opponent if he has it in his possession (both hands) if the ball is open/unprotected then it can be tackled/flicked punched away or taken cleanly
So if a player holds the ball with two hands or even with one hand and his chest, can the ball only be stolen with an open hand? I notice a real difficulty in stealing the ball in this game, because being able to hold the ball in your hands makes it almost impossible to steal the ball, because in football there is more precarious control, whereas in rugby the control is absolute but there is tackle.

What do you think of my other doubts?

Please could anyone explain me what do Showing the Ball and Turning Twice with the ball mean?

Holds with two hands and if wrestled from the hands its a free for the person in possession of the ball. If the ball is 'popped' from his possession if he was holding it with one hand or two, with an open hand that's ok, the term stripping or wrestling it from possession is what we are looking at, that's a foul.

Gave a free the other day, lad won the ball but made contact with the player first around the neck. Had I been standing on the other side of that tackle I would not have called the free as from the other angle it would have looked like a clean take of the ball. But because of my positioning I was lucky enough to see that

This board would have half the comments or less if there wasn't a 'discussion' on things that people were not there lol

With Klopp gone I'd say that Arsenal will be City's biggest rivals for the next few seasons, hopefully they get the one at least with this generation of players

Just the three ;) 

You's boys are touchy feckers all the same

I think Liverpool had a fantastic year and will miss big Klopp's drive

Utd can't keep 'clearing' out players every year and expect consistency

They are the media's plaything at the minute after having years of dominance they are languishing below levels they would have been at before, its as if they have forgotten Utd were relegated in the 70's, but of course football only started in the PL years 92 ;)

No quick fix, could be another 10 years at this rate, I'd be happy to have the roof fixed first
