Title: Unofficial GAA rules
Post by: seafoid on September 12, 2016, 10:45:04 AM
I think there was a thread about this on one of the old boards

#1 Galway are natural footballers
#2 Three steps unless you are going for a goal in which 15 are acceptable

#3 If the allotted injury time expires, you shall allow only blow the full time whistle either a) if the leading team has possession, or b) after the trailing team have kicked a wide, or turned the ball over.

If you get fouled after you kick pass, free where the ball lands.  If you get fouled after you shoot and the ball goes wide, tough luck

Your club's county player gets dog's abuse from the opposition without any protection from the ref...yet as soon as he commits an innocuous foul he gets a yellow >:(

Last 5 mins in a championship match excessive force is permitted in every challenge and players are no longer protected when picking the ball of the ground

The 5 second rule can be anything from 2 seconds to 8 seconds

If you look like you know what you're doing, and where you're going, you'll get away with approx 10 steps. If you look in anyway hestitant or confused, you will get penalised within the 4 steps.

its quite the opposite I find.
The county star never gets penalised for half the things he should. He can throw elbows, fists, cause rows and generally break rules but not get punished by weak refs. All because who he is/was.

In many cases its a lot to do with the club he is with ;)

I was thinking similar, the young corner forward in one corner might have to get decapitated to get a free but the boy in the other corner who is the county golden boy gets a free if someone even brushes past him.

Maybe that is the reason he is a county player! Some players are experts at drawing frees. Either through an ability to draw the tackler in, or by being very good at making it look like a foul.

Forward gets blown up for taking too long at a free. Keepers can take 10 minutes.

Player runs into opponent (who is ready for the shoulder charge) front on, and gets a free. What's the opponent supposed to do?

When going for a high catch, you can nail the opposition player in front into the back with a knee as long as you make the catch! Also when there's a marginally late shoulder tackle everyone seems to  shout "Black card" when clearly the player went to genuinely shoulder the opposition and the opposition falls like a sack of spuds.

Anyone wearing a knee bandage will get nailed continuously on that knee until they are subbed.

The team who goes on to the field first after halftime will lose.  "John take a look, are them hoors out yet?"

And the team that don't come out are 'playing mind games'!

And there was none better at it whilst at the Armagh helm than Joe Kernan.  Armagh used to have some marathon half time sessions with officials sent to the changing rooms to see if they were for coming out at all.

You can't push a player unless it's over the sideline.

The inter county ref will probably be the worst one at club level.

The best player is exempt from training/drink bans etc...

Saying hip hip horay makes up for losing a final.

The best nights out are after you lose in the championship.

Back in the day when non black coloured boots were viewed with deep suspicion, anyone wearing "flashy boots" would go whole seasons without getting a free.

Club team managers secretly wish for only 15 players to show up for games.  No hassles in trying to  keep everyone happy.

I think it's more to do with the refs having a sweet spot for the county lads. At the receiving end myself recently, hooking the hand in and going to ground, yelping whenever the ball came in the vicinity and incredulously dragging down on top of him in the penalty area with a yelp thrown in for good measure. Referee a bigger tool for falling for it.
