5.44
When an Aggressive Foul is committed, the Referee may allow the play to continue if the referee considers that this presents the potential of a goal-scoring opportunity or another advantage to the team offended by creating or capitalising on time and space. The Referee shall signal that advantage by raising an arm upright and shall allow the advantage to run by maintaining that arm in the upright position for up to five seconds after the foul or for less time if it becomes clear that no advantage has accrued. If the referee deems no advantage to have accrued, the Referee may subsequently award a free for the foul from where it occurred, except as provided under Exceptions (v) and (vi) of Rule 2.2
The referee may allow the play to continue if there is a potential for an advantage in the next five seconds but can allow less if no advantage accrues in that lesser time. What if no advantage accrues after say 3 seconds but one might still occur. What does the ref do? The tenses are wrong are they not?
I am even more confused now by the rule than I was when i didnt actually know what it was

Quote from: armaghniac on Today at 02:08:48 PMHow does "Scoring chances converted" relate to the next two rows? In Galway's case there is a only a difference of one in the sum of the frees and scores from play, but in Mayo's case there is a difference of 9?

And as Joe (rightly and constantly) bemoans the likes of Trump, the Tories, Israeli gov't etc for getting the lie out first, because that's the message that'll stick more the actual truth, he does the very same re the GAA.
Even our red hand neighbours would love to see us win Sam the year to see the hooer squirm, yes? Surely

Ultimately this match was only an appetiser
Quote from: upmonaghansayswe on Today at 12:57:07 PMQuote from: Main Street on Today at 11:48:58 AMAnd how is the fouled player to know he has an advantage? eyes in the back of his head?
It's a totally idiotic advantage rule when you can lose the advantage inside 4 seconds.
If a player does happen to notice that he has the advantage, can he stop play and say, 'thanks ref but I want the free kick not the so called advantage'?
No, he has to 'honestly' play on and make the ref call it that no advantage is being gained.
I think a ref would give the free in the case of getting bottled up, as it would be clear no advantage is being gained at the start of the bottling up.
It's where the attacking player overcarries for no ones fault but their own that a foul would be called.

Yesterday evening the forecast for rain was gone, and it predicted dry and sunny, Today the rain is back but a bit earlier and likely to be a problem. The BBC website predicts light showers. Weather forecasting in Ireland is not yet able to predict this far in advance.
Two types of meteorologist in the world. Those who don't know what the weather will be like and those who don't know that they don't know what the weather will be like.
