Armagh Club football & hurling

For the bridge I thought that

? to be continued next week?

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.

According the the Rules the referee's decision would seem to have been correct.

RULE 4 - TECHNICAL FOULS

4.19 To interfere with a player taking a free kick or side-line kick by jumping up and down, waving hands, or any other physical or verbal interference considered by the referee to be aimed at distracting the player taking the kick.

Exception
A player holding his hands upright shall not constitute an interference.

PENALTY - FOR THE ABOVE FOULS – Free kick 13m more advantageous than the place of original kick -up to opponents' 13m line.

When's the last time you seen it applied AE?

It happened me last year for jumping as the player took the kick.  The ref move the ball to a more central position and the free was taken again.  I dont do that anymore

Depends on the ref and the mood he's in probably - like so many gaa rules

Pints it would appear that the Silverbridge management stepped down last night.

For certain?  I'm just off the phone to someone at home and they hadn't heard anything on the management?
If it's true it's a pity, they two boys have served us well. 

I wonder will Ciaran Conlon fulfill his promise and look to return?

Does he not play because he doesn't get on with the management? How long has he not being playing football. Will be hard to get back into it again if he's been out a good while. He was very good in his younger days. What age is he now?

He'd be 22 now - should be coming into his prime and by some distance the best player to have come through Silverbridge in recent years. He hasn't been "out of it" as such - been playing away in Dundalk. The word was he'd be heading back to the Bridge once the current management left the set up. I suppose he has the winter to decide now. Supremely talented footballer, just a wee bit too injury prone to really make it at the top level.

What tacadoir said - but tac he suffered that bad injury at minor and done very well to come back - I can only remember him missing one game while he was playing senior due to injury.  I dont know if he's had any injuries while he's been in dundalk.  I wouldnt describe him as injury prone.

Probably better to say he was maybe never quite the same after the injury then. Certainly he was the sort of player who you woulda thought coulda been challenging for the Armagh set up by now.

Yeah...maybe if he had to stay with us - he might be a bit on the small side though and the biggest obstacle of all, unfortunately, is/was his attitude imo.

pog before you make cheat comments about Hearty, you should look at the referee in your own club
Let he who is without sin and all that craic

Bridge were very unlucky on Sat evening. One of the strangest decisions I have ever seen at such an important time by the ref. The Culloville lads had their hands in their heads as they thought Hatzer had missed the free & speaking to people, no one had actually seen the lad jump in front of the kicker. Thought the Bridge were the better team throughout the 60 mins, but I felt it would be hard for such young team to come back from that in extra time.
Think the Hatzers scored almost everything for Culloville.
Shane O Neill was very very good in the middle. Before the game I rated Mc Garvey as a better fielder but O' Neill gave an exhibition.
Culloville were niggly throughout the game, perhaps to unsettle a smaller, quicker Bridge team.

Should be a good final, with two physical teams
BTW there was some amount of St Pats supporters/players at the game
