Armagh Club football & hurling

Sorry I didn't get back to you benny, didn't see your question until a hour ago.

Culloville beat Silverbridge by 3 AET. Good game.

Absolutely gutted, I heard the better team lost and we should have had it in normal time - fair view or biased one I don't know. 
I must admit I'd some concerns that we wouldn't be able to match Cullaville but the lads have done us proud, especially the boys playing through injury, leading by example and setting high standards as usual. It's a pity commitment and dedication doesn't win games! but I've no doubt the talent is there too, we'll get there! 

Hard luck to the lads, heads up - well done to Cullaville and all the best in the final.

Yeh The bridge should have won it in normal time.
They were a point up in injury time and instead of playing their normal game they tried to play "keep ball" around the middle of the field and gave the ball away. Cullaville drew a free which was moved up and they equalised with the last kick of the game

Good game. Two even sides. Silverbridge should prob have sneaked it in normal time. 2 decisions proved costly for them.
First was half back in last few seconds of normal opting to try and play forward when in possesion when a few hand passes across half back line to unmarked opponents would have ran clock down.
Second was a call by the referee to move last kick of game up ten yards (after free kick had been kicked and was obviously falling short). It seemed the reason being that one of the bridge defenders was jumpning up and down about 15 yards away in front of the kicker. A strange and unfair decision by the looks of it. Referee was Jimmy Mc Kee and was pretty incconsistent throughout.

Yes, apparently there's a rule that a player can't jump when a free kick is being taken - even if they're 10 yards back?
I have never seen this enforced.

[Yes I Would]

Its a rule i never knew existsed and have certainly never seen it enforced, and have played almost 20 years.
Freesmoved up for dissent not moving back required distance but for opposing player jumpong up and down was a very petty shout by the ref.
It was a bad call and was always gonna be tough for the bridge boys to get their heads right for extra time.

I'd normally have a lot of time for McKee but it's just ridiculous that something like that has cost us a place in a championship final.

[The GAA]

To be fair lads i've seen that rule implemented plenty though i was under the impression that it only applied to a player who is the minimum 14 yards away?

[pintsofguinness]

It is in the rule book alright but I've never seen it applied.
