I don't know what is wrong with Lynch and Hegarty but I don't see it being put right on sunday. It might be too close to call but I am going with Cork for the upset even if it wouldn't be that much of an upset.
If the hurling wasn't on gaago it would be on sky sports with the same conversation. No fan of rte but they can only show so many games. If gaago or sky sports weren't broadcasting the games would they be on at all? Split season means all the games are condensed into a shorter window. Does munster hurling need to be promoted before the Tailtean cup etc??
America has been a bad soap opera since Vietnam. All facets of society has gotten worse despite Wars on everything ie poverty, drugs, crime, terrorism. homelessness etc. It is now a trash can society.
Meanwhile joe has us on the cusp of ww3Are you just another useless idiot who peddles random idiotic kremlin botisms or just someone afflicted with an uncontrollable anti -Biden tic syndrome?
if I told you 2/3 years ago that you could lose your job for calling a biological man a man and not playing the pronoun game would you have believed me ? Doesn’t take long to escalateLet’s put it this way: when’s the last time someone in Ireland (or the US) was arrested for saying “I think homosexuality is wrong/an abomination “?That assumes good faith ongoing.
Has it ever happened?
It’s been a protected characteristic for quite a while now.
Most intelligent people would just say “f**k off bigot” or something to that effect.
Trans people may be more litigious. They use bad faith more often. Why should the people be exposed to this ?

It's actually mental this has been allowed to pass.
I’m not sure how to best approach it, if he’s seen no foul he can’t call it, just because (in your opinion) 95% of the hand passes are illegal, if that is the case then just ban it altogether.
Ref’d a game on Sunday possibly 2 that I caught 4 I was unsure of the rest grand.
I assume you let the ones you were unsure of go? That's the nub if it: if you were unsure, there was obviously no 'definite' striking action, and it should have been a foul. I realise, of course, that a whistle-happy ref. ain't going to be too popular, but if the rule was enforced properly players wouldn't so readily chance a throw.
You play at all? If a ref pulled you every time you made a legal hand pass would you be pleased? Just because the ref isn’t in position? Give your head a shake

Mixed feelings….a defeat at the end would have been absolute heartbreak but overall weren’t we the better side? Yeah a draw we would probably have taken beforehand and 6 points I suppose isn’t a big lead in hurling. Dub players were throwing the ball to each other without the pretence of a hand pass and never blown up for it. Great to see us matching them, standing up to them.
The “throw” argument has been lost, it’s gone. Every team is doing it. The ref will give a token free or two each game.
It’s impossible to see unless you see it done! Even if we say there’s no way he got that ball out of that situation unless the ref actually sees a technical foul he can’t call it on a whim!!
So the token call you said is stupid as all ref’s will call it if they see it, otherwise why bother call token ones?
