And how is the fouled player to know he has an advantage? eyes in the back of his head?
It's a totally idiotic advantage rule when you can lose the advantage inside 4 seconds.

If a player does happen to notice that he has the advantage, can he stop play and say, 'thanks ref but I want the free kick not the so called advantage'?

No, he has to 'honestly' play on and make the ref call it that no advantage is being gained.

I think a ref would give the free in the case of getting bottled up, as it would be clear no advantage is being gained at the start of the bottling up.

It's where the attacking player overcarries for no ones fault but their own that a foul would be called.

You don't seem happy to stand corrected, if I'm honest.

 , thank you too. If the GAA could sync the official rulebook with the referees handbook, that would make the island happier, not just me

A rule not in a rule book..
Anyway, to restate the main point. A co commentator not knowing this. How have viewers a chance.

During the advantage period of 5 seconds, I thought any technical fouls by the attacking player was a free against them. i.e you can't just stand there or overcarry to claim the free.

Eamonn Fitzmaurice said the ref came back for the advantage after Conroy overcarried in the 1st half.

I thought you could. Otherwise what's the point of the advantage it would actually at times be a disadvantage

No a technical foul during the advantage should result in reversal of the original decision

And for clarity, an overcarry is a technical foul? Took a punt there.. It's pedantic but if that's right, it's mad that a co commentator would say that.

Also think the midfield mark should in include the AFL 'play on' at any time. Speed the thing along, Mayo 12 (I think) got caught. Needless stuff.

I was worried when the crowd ran on at the end that there would be trouble, there was a real nasty atmosphere all game both in the stands and on the pitch.

Yeah, dumb and dangerous by McQuillan to blow for FT while players were still scuffling on the field. Asking for some overexcited idiot to run out and do something stupid.

Said exact same. Couldve been a riot. Fair play Glen thought Kilcoo had them, Glen made couple mistakes and werent creating chances. Strong ending will stand them in great stead for again

Madness to be giving throw ups when games are gone like today's was. Asking for trouble

I got lost on the shares and CFDs.

Was he buying CFDs and shares at the same time? I thought the programme said it was cfds and that's why he called in on the marginal thingy.. and as opposed to just losing value he had to pay up as the price fell as it was a bet/gamble. Who were the brokers for actually buying shares then?.

Was Brolly A Tool the last time Monaghan played Derry?

'Nowadays people don't realise that the art of tea making, and elaborate discussions about various blends of tea we're not just inane murmurings; they we're a complex form of punctuation during emotionally difficult narratives'

Fish and only because there would be a bit of variety.

What?

From a pig you can get gammon, rashers, pork loins and sausages not to mention trotters and the likes.

It's a super animal and eat pure shite..

Just being pedantic but this was the correct Simpsons scene to refer too...

Although maybe i should be on the what grinds my gears thread..

For those of us without sky, is there a way of streaming this match on Saturday? 

If you know someone who has their TV with Virgin Media they have a 'Sky Go' equivalent. But unlike Sky Go, the person in question will probably not have any devices registered because Virgin Media doesn't have that enough sport to bother setting it up! Speaking from personnel experience.

Sky Sports Mix is available on VM tv, Sky are putting all games on it. Two devices can be set up on it.

Good point - will look into that. Thanks

Looking at installing a Stanley Soilis F650 solid fuel stove. Similar to the Aoife only less traditional looking. Only issue I have is the ash tray is very small compared to the traditional types - not even an inch thick. No problem with emptying everyday but will it even last a day? Could it choke the air supply too when full?

Depends what you are burning. There's a fair bit of ash created burning turf
A lot less with well seasoned timber

True. Wouldn't have turf - but like a few briquettes at the start to get the heat going. Sticks and some coal otherwise. From our inset stove at home which would burn the same fuel, you would easily half fill a large tray each day. Especially thinking of cold weekends when you want it ticking over all day ideally not having to empty it. 

I'll check out the air supply. It densest have the 'wheel' so maybe the air wont get cut off if the tray is full..

Anybody see Varadkars rant yesterday? Embarrassing, badly let himself down, completely lost his cool.

He was also wrong. Minimum wage and the furlough payment are not devolved and have nothing to do with SF. Its not SFs fault the minimum wage is crap in the North.

Agreed. I had to laugh at the irony of the p***k insulting trump and SF when he was in America on paddy's day announcing a lockdown for Ireland. He showed his true colours and they are not pretty.

Its called schmoozing. Not a skill required in the land of SF utopia.

The lack of earning potential for students during the summer is a valid concern. Would a waive of next years fee / additional grant allocation not be a solution.
