The most bonkers moments in GAA

[caprea]

Any time a game goes to extra time with players sent off in normal time but teams are allowed to restore themselves to the 15 in extra time because it’s a “new game”. I’d love to have been in the room when the rules makers thought that was a good idea.

Didn’t Liam Hayes come back on for Meath in ET after being sent off in normal time? Or did I dream that?

I don’t know to be honest but I didn’t think that was legal but maybe the rule was tweaked. That’s truly hilarious if it did happen.

Like on the other side if it’s truly a new game then players should be allowed to re enter the game if they were sent off for two yellows. The fact that they aren’t means the law is an ass.

Maybe it was tweaked. Nearly sure it was late 80’s or early 90’s. Might have been Gerry McEntee, but it was definitely a Meath game in the championship
