If a player is on one side of the field , 1 yard outside the 50 yard line, and kicks it across the field , to a teammate who catches it 1 yard inside the 50 , will a mark be given?
Yes.

Common sense Rules
1 if a lad runs fast he can take as many steps as he like.
2 don't ever apply the steps Rule to a forward anywhere near the posts
3 don't pull up illegal handpasses especially on an attacking player
4 never yellow card a forward no matter how many cynical fouls he commits to stop counter attacks
5 allow man with ball to do whatever he likes especially to would be tacklers.
6 after a throw up ball always give a free out to the defending team.

It's an interesting game - wouldn't be surprised if we won but on the other hand wouldn't be surprised if we got beat by a bit! I hope we have learned from the league and if we can get Kelm marked a bit better we have a very good chance. Also someone taller on Quigley would help.

Congrats Down and good luck in AI series. Who was that ref and what county. A plonker!
Down were excellent in last 30 minutes, Murdock and Savage are 2 class acts. Great win.
No question the best team won. Thought he was very harsh on us but maybe that's rose tinted glasses on. Who you play now?

Anyone notice the Fermanagh No. 2 got booked for the Down penalty even though he wasn't near the tackle on Havern.
Ref was having a good look in his book with the umpire before giving the booking .. looked strange

I will never endure a worse 38 minutes of "football" than what I witnessed today.
4 scores . 1-1 to 1-1 at half time .
Will somebody think of the children .
Awful stuff.
Second half was a bit better but it couldn't have been much more.
Offaly won it with a point in the last kick of the game .
But Jesus that was a hard watch

While there's no doubt at all that Island are an infinitely more positive team since Jody Gormley was replaced, you're being a heavy touch sensitive there MR. Every team in Down football (and most of Ireland) uses long passages of skill-less ball retention as a way of minimising opposition touches, and to assist in physical recovery. Every team in Down plays regular short kick outs with no clear purpose other than to make sure their opponents don't get the ball. Every team in Down has a deficiency (and a lack of trust) in players willing to deliver 50 yards kick passes into space. Loughinisland must have been a pleasure to watch this season after 3 years of Jody's tripe, but spare us your plea.

How do I stop her indoors from moving things around the house and denying ever touching them? Things with designated spots too, back door key, the iron, phone charger etc. anyone else encounter this and how do I make it stop?

If we take the infamous Conor McManus/Sean Cavanagh incident, the same will happen now regardless of the black card? I always felt it would be beneficial to allow the fouled player to still be allowed to fist pass the ball, with no restriction on distance. Obviously there will be an outcry at the reduction of the sacred kickpass, but it could be restricted to frees inside attacking 21. Any further interference with the player results in a penalty. Conor McManus could conceivably have got up and laid the ball off to an incoming player and still had a goal chance. The same goes for a mark too, why not allow a player to lay off to an in rushing player even if they have called the mark? Is a kicked 15 yard free really that precious?
Also why do we not allow quick frees from the 13? What purpose does that serve other than to benefit someone who has committed a foul? I don't see why we should be giving the defence time to get back to the line, that is merely an incentive to foul. Drop that rule altogether imo.
When did this become a thing? ref blows whistle, he doesn't need to blow it again and if players are back 13 meters from kick then whats the problem with taking a 'quick' free if these are met?
It's always been a thing;
2.6 With the Referee's consent, a free kick may be taken immediately.
Exceptions:
A penalty kick and a free kick awarded to a team from their opponents' 13m line.
I never did, in fairness most teams defence will crowd round and restrict that from happening.. Though I can see what this means, all players must be 13 meters away from play, as I said in my post above if all players are 13 meters away there is no reason to stop it being played (in my view I'm right lol)
I'd given a free last night on the D one lad gave a bit of verbal's and I brought the ball forward the player had a free shot on goal as he was taking it quick, missed an open net!!
