Minor All Ireland Football Championship 2024

Shocking decision for penalty. Ref ruining it.

Clear foot block lol

Stupid needless rule.

It's a rule because it's dangerous.
Can easily result in broken ankle for the kicker.

Or so the urban myth goes.
The incident in that game was not in any way dangerous. A foot block where a player uses his foot to block a ball that has clearly left the opponent's foot is no more dangerous than a block using hands, arms, chest whatever. I've played and watched a lot of football in my time and I can only recall ever seeing an actual dangerous 'foot block' once, but I've heard many's a roar from spectators for one!
It's like square ball, unpoliceable, so just get rid of it.
The action it attempts to stamp out could be covered by other types of dangerous play - no need for the specific naming of a part of the body.

Sneaky Derry management, trying to sub the player that got red carded after he got red carded.
As if we needed another Dublin-Derry too many players on the pitch controversy.

It was a bit but I did laugh.
Technically if he was subbed off already and got the red, should we have been down to 14?
Perhaps grounds for appeal?

I trust the Dublin No 7 will receive due sanctions for his stamp on the Derry goalkeeper in the second half - he had already been booked.  Very clear on TG4 coverage.

Have you spoken to many physios about the injury a foot block causes?

Is that tackle ok then during play on any part of the pitch by any player?

So basically you're saying throwing your feet to block the ball is fine

Crafty move! But Derry were superb after Dublin equalised

Derry were outstanding.  Hopefully those who hit the Derry goalkeeper (isolated as a Derry player on 7 Dub subs) will also now face sanctions.  We will wait and see.

The foot block is used in every soccer match, In all my years watching I don't remember one injury to the kicker.
It's a needless rule backed up by an urban myth.
No comparison with the foul play should an opposing player kick out the ball when it is about to be picked up.

[Main Street]

I only saw the 2nd half, Derry were not just impressive but totally imperious.
I'm happy enough that they won, so now we can finally have the replay of the drawn game

I take it the goalie is out of the final?  that's a tough one to take.

[marty34]

No. 6 is there best fballer, Fairly strong at Midfield too. That's about the 3 strong minor teams in a 4yr period. Derry need look at the U19 set up within the county. We seem drop off slightest when these lads move up. Had Murray, McAvoy been playing the U-20's this Yr we probably won that Ulster final.

Who's fault is that?

Keep watching soccer then and if you still don't remember maybe make a doctor's appointment?

But it's a rule and everyone knows that they run the risk of a ref applying the rules, ref's are dammed if they don't implement the rules and (as above) dammed if they do!

All Ireland Ulster final.

If it is, probably be back in Armagh?

I would  say so.

Is this the first all ulster All Ireland minor  final ?

I WOild imagine it  will be in Armagh , as last years between  Galway and Mayo was in  Roscommon.
