GAA Discussion / Re: Gaelic Football - Rules & ...

There was a incident in the Derry Galway game were a Galway player in possession was "ushered" over the sideline by a couple of Derry players. McQullian pointed his flag in favour of the Galway player and indicated a pushing motion with this hands.  I didn't hear if the referee blew his whistle at this point but is it not the linesmans job to indicate which way the line ball is to go and he should not be calling the freekick??

The linesman will advise the ref on off the ball incidents, he will do the line and he may even stand in behind a free and help the umpire on a wide or a point call.. The ref alone decides, he can take advise, but it will be his call

It's his call yes, but the wording in the rule book has changed. Historically the linesman would have called lined decisions and off the ball stuff, but can now alert the ref to any incident the ref may not have seen on or off the ball

Must be a record



Then you have Harry Kane still waiting after all those minutes of action.

I thought you had  to play a certain amount  of games to get a medal. That was  the case for the  premier league anyway , not sure about  the cup competitions

Will Klopp be deemed a successful manager,  Not a great soccer fan, but can only remember winning the premier league. Rescue them from the downward trajectary, will only remember the smile.

Paisley won more and transformed them into the best team in Europe, but Klopp's transformation of the club was second only to Shankly in scale.

He's definite top three and arguably top two in the greatest ever Liverpool managers.

Started from a low enough base.  Changed the culture at the club and among the fanbase.  Left an indelible mark on the city through his words and deeds.  Won big trophies and lost big trophies, but got players to give everything. Liverpool were very lucky to have him and he was lucky to have Liverpool. Probably won't see his like again in my lifetime anyway.

I see there a Ronan Strain being doing a bit of scoring for Drumquin in the first few rounds of Division 3. Is that the fella that played underage for Tyrone? I thought he was an Omagh man?

Yeah that's him, transferred to drumquin at the beginning of the year I believe. Not sure why?

What do we think is a likely neutral venue for match v Sligo? Omagh looks to be about equidistant...wouldn't be too bad a choice for supporters to get to. Armagh maybe asking for a bit much, certainly hope its not Clones.

Celtic Park maybe
