McKenna Cup 2024

[Main Street]

Interesting at end Beggan wasted a full minute taking the free yet ref made no allowance. Is he not allowed to account for time wasted like that?

That ref isn't fit for purpose, perhaps his stature is an impediment, though he's only one in a long line of refs who falls for the McHugh simulation, as blatant as the 3 card trick.

Unless the ref deems it to be deliberate time wasting, the clock keeps ticking.

Another great way to wind down the clock is to get booked. Clock doesn't stop while the ref is asking for your name and issuing the card.
Anyone who watches ladies football regularly will have seen these and noted the clock counting down.

Up to the ref to enforce, sadly it rarely is enforced. If there is 4 minutes of extra time how can anyone justify taking 25%of that time up for 1 free kick. Adding on the wasted time would soon stop it

But as I said, you're entitled to take time over a free kick and the clock keeps ticking.
Don't foul if you're behind and time is near up, is the way to stop it.

I'll stop the watch and tell them it won't start until he's fit to take the free, if they want to fanny about looking for balls or acting the maggot then expect the clock to stop. Refs call to add time he see's fit, and if in injury time they are taking the piss add some more, but explain and show the watch to the players

Cmon Tyrone, bring the Dr home.

That's probably  the only way you're likely  to see a doctor these days!

I know, demand is insane and surgeries can't cope with the daily barrage of crap

[An Watcher]

Is the final not included in the £25 TV coverage above

[square_ball]

I'm guessing it will be shown on TG4 as in their Ulster Club coverage they didn't include the televised games.
