Sheehan queries time free-taking goalies get

[Dinny Breen]

The rugger buggers have got it right, no guessing on time added on, when there is a stoppage the clock stops and does not start until play begins again.

But the clock does NOT stop for rugby either when penalties are been taken. But they do have a time limit. A reasonable time to decide whether they are going to kick at goal or not (10 or 15 seconds) then another one minute to take the kick.

Cluxton or Morgan would rarely take one minute. In fact they'd be two of the quickest in the game in terms of time between placing the ball and kicking it.

Plus 90 secs to take the conversion from the moment a try is scored. Clock only gets stopped for - injuries, replacements, yellow and red cards, referee conversations with players & touch judges and TMO queries. Adds roughly 6/7 mins extra per half in a 40 minute game.

Hate comparing football to rugby but would that not suggest we are seriously underestimating the time we typically add on?

There was a good chunk of time added on in the Derry-Westmeath match (over 3mins I think). Were there many injuries?

[Jinxy]

One bad one for Wilkinson.

This isn't rugby, we can make our own rules. If there's any time wasting or other nonsense going on then the ref can say stop the clock. It's pretty simple really.
As for the Sheehan free, time was added on for that, no time was added on for Cluxtons free. In fact the game was played for a minute less!
Also I hope everyone can see what the 'ordinary decent Dub fans' are really like from their comments on the last page. A nasty bunch.

Does it take much effort to be a complete and utter wan*er or does it come natural?

One of the most frustrating things about GAABoard, is that it's seemingly impossible for about half of our contributors to discuss a subject without descending the conversation into county rivalries and barbs, without turning it into tit for tat nonsense.

It's a pity the mods don't do their job and get rid of trolls like that clown
