Ulster JFC/IFC 2022

[RedHand88]

Brought in to keep tournaments to schedule. Isont recall gaa announcing that was because they were money grabbers or to prevent corrupt referees etc.

I didn't say that. I said that's what people complained about. Now that they've lost that to complain about they're complaining that penalties are no way to finish a GAA match. (whatever that means).

We are a nation of moans.

And corrupt referees 

Plot lost

It's very simple, GAA want games finished to schedule. That's why penalties were brought in. It was zero to do with people crying about refs, diesel or anything else. I think they've got it very wrong deciding finals like this. Would you be happy with say the All Ireland final being decided by penalties? I don't think anyone would want to see that. That's the only point i was making.

Yes. Imagine the tension, the drama and the euphoria for the winning team.
The GAA is the only sport I can think of that did not have a tie breaker.
If the World Cup final (which is only every 4 years) can be decided by penalties so can the All Ireland final.

I'm happy enough for their to be a tiebreaker, but I don't think it should be penalties. Free kicks would be better

Free kicks were tried, completely useless, changed to penalties , better sense of drama and challenge.

Barry Cassidy screws Cavan team. Shock horror.

How it wasn't a penalty and free out before for charging. Disgraceful.

Both teams knew the rules before the game so I'm fine with penalties if it prevents a delay to the next rounds of the competition. However for a final I think an exception could have been made and a replay be called.

Lol that's worse! You're throwing wind into the mix.

The Galway club hurling final, effectively the provincial final went straight to a replay, no extra 10 minutes for extra time..

Counties or provinces can chose it seems..

When do we stop the replays though? So if it's 3 games, do we do penalties then?

[nrico2006]

why can they not do a first to 3 points if level after extra time but when you suggest that go into bugged eyed meltdown and then moan about penalities

Problem there is 1 team could have a significant wind advantage which makes it unfair, unlike penalties.

you could say anything is unfair maybe swap ends after a point is scored

True but penalties is probably the fairest of the lot.

Lol well it would be the same wind for both teams

In this case there is an all Ireland QF in 2 weeks with significant logistical and travel implications so an extra week is not feasible.

In that case it's understandable then. Both teams play by the same set of rules.

Is banty still in the stands for the final at the weekend or is the ban up?

[square_ball]

Still in the stands according to todays Irish News.

[clarshack]

Were St. Brendan's Manchester weaker this year compared to last year or just the same?

[smort]

Intermediate final postponed until next week as pitch unplayable
