NFL Division 1

Stadium clock is the real one.
The TG4 screen clock is simplyctheir best efforts to swith on/off.

When the hooter goes off is what matters. Was the ball in the hands of the Kerry forward as it went off or was it in the air?

Personally I'd ditch the hooter altogether and leave it in the hands of refs on what time to add on.

There was nothing wrong with the rule as it was last year - it was clear, no confusion.
They meddled with it and have made it much worse.

Situations like the last score of the first half of the All-Ireland final put a lot of the GAA hierarchy off the old rule, Kerry had the ball for as long as they wanted without any pressure from Donegal before David Clifford scored.
Had other 1st half situations where a team turned over the attacking team before taking a couple of minutes to take a scoring attempt themselves.

Could have adapted it to just allow one last attack, if a team start just lateral passing without any urgency to attack, blow it up, ditto for a turnover.

But that rule was unambiguous - when the ball went out of play, the game was over. Not much chance for controversy.

This new rule is a mess. You have a timekeeper in the stadium, possibly keeping different time than the stadium, and also different time than the TV if game is televised.
Then he has to sound the hooter, then the ref has to blow the whistle.
Much more opportunity for the mess we saw yesterday.

The hooter is nonsense.

There's an independent time keeper , and  he will be instructed by the ref when to stop the clock  anyway. So, just add up the injury time/subs time , and add on the  appropriate minutes.

Before giving Kerry the last free, there was a Roscommon free our 5/8secs before hand. Kerrt lad did get rid of it b4 the hooter sounded. Still a stupud rule!

Good for Armagh to get up and running with a win and comfortable one at that however conceding 0-18 to such a patched up Monaghan team is a slight concern.

And on top of that ignominy, Armagh took an eternity to score a goal against a junior defense. Everybody in Armagh who got a little bit of pleasure out of that performance should take an ice cold shower

Ignominy    , think you just like to hear yourself pal.

Of course Armagh folk are happy with the 2 points and a professional performance.
The same folk are fully aware that Monaghan were missing a significant cohort of players.
Everyone should be fully aware that Armagh were also missing a significant number of players from the first 15/20/26 but were simply able to cope with it better due to squad depth.

There are bigger tests ahead for Armagh. Every man, woman, child and their dog knows this.

I'm pretty sure my dog couldn't give a toss and is more concerned about that annoying cat next door.

You're dog might not give a toss, but it still knows that that ignominy post was as daft as $h!t
