You don't seem happy to stand corrected, if I'm honest.

 , thank you too. If the GAA could sync the official rulebook with the referees handbook, that would make the island happier, not just me

[Foul Subsequent to Advantage Award]

During the advantage period of 5 seconds, I thought any technical fouls by the attacking player was a free against them. i.e you can't just stand there or overcarry to claim the free.

Eamonn Fitzmaurice said the ref came back for the advantage after Conroy overcarried in the 1st half.

I thought you could. Otherwise what's the point of the advantage it would actually at times be a disadvantage

No a technical foul during the advantage should result in reversal of the original decision

Eh? Where you getting this from? It's literally an advantage, not 'might be an advantage'! Have you ever seen advantage reversed in any game due to a technical foul, ever?

Foul Subsequent to Advantage Award
If, during the advantage period, a foul is committed by a player of the team which was originally fouled then the advantage is cancelled and a free kick/puck awarded for the "second" foul.

Thanks. So this rule above, which isn't in the official GAA rule book, is only stated in the referee's handbook. Couldn't be anymore from the 'world of GAA rules' if it tried.

He's getting it straight from the rule book.

OK, send in the rule / wording, I'm happy to stand corrected

Derry Away to Galway, would preferred Mayo to be honest, for no other fact than we normally play well against them,and crap against Galway. Mayo to suffer further at the hands of the Dubs. Is that Mayos home game?

Would have preferred Mayo too, parking handier and shorter drive 

Cillian O'Choker does it again!

That's your take on a man who has the balls to take the shot on with the rest of the Mayo team playing the ball laterally a minute over added time

You're some clown

That's a bad call there, Mayo man was fouled twice. Gough  made a bad mistake there.

Two extremely lucky frees to win it. The 2nd last, Maher goes down to pick the ball up when he's nowhere near it win a free(did exactly the same against Derry, indeed he threw himself across Conor Doherty injuring him), very crafty move. 3 men batter Loftus and it's a free in. Thems the breaks. Super game between two very good teams

Comer will destroy any fullback with time and space like that.

Comer not the most clinical of finishers.

Yet he's still one of the dangerous forwards the games seen... Have you seen Galway's win / loss percentages with Comer playing / not playing?

I think Galway needed to be ahead at h/t. Alot to ask men to return and put in a huge 70+ mins in championship

kerry lads exempt from been yellow carded. Do a lot of fouling.  Thee u20s were the same the other night.

The holding in the tackle (choke tackle) is probably the biggest blight in the game... Teams spread it around, rarely if ever a yellow and it stops any momentum

G getting a fair drop off the panel for some them lads named in the match day squads.

It's crazy though surely your nos 21-30 should be allowed to play with their clubs I don't understand why you wouldn't let them??

Also lads need competitive football. The worry for Derry now is Harte doesn't play challenge games so our lads have no competitive football for 4 weeks then go away to a provincial champion!

Sure we'll be fresh and not burnt out! Though, Harte didn't do warm weather training weeks, until he did, before the 1st Rd of the championship, so you never know

[he has to give a presentation on the values of the game.]

I see the ex-England player, Mike Browne, was sent off recently for a head challenge.

He then started to swear at the referee.

He is suspended for two weeks.

As part of this process, he has to give a presentation on the values of the game. This will be then used for educational purposes and help demonstrate that behaviour like this will not be tolerated in rugby.

No messing there by the rugby lads.

GAA HQ should take a good look at this. 

Hope sanctimonious w**k like this never becomes mainstream in the GAA. Too many Kool-Aid drinkers in rugby. Can promote respect for the referee without banging on how noble the game itself is.

100+ years in and how's that going? 

So there we have it, Wilson v Jones. Can't wait 🤓

Doesn't exactly wet the appetite. That Jones and Bingham game was a bit of a slog at times. Bingham be disappointed he couldn't carry on the form he showed against ROS.

Expect Wilson to win the final comfortable enough but I suppose Jones has been written off all tournament.

Wilson's to lose, unless there's another bottle job

I've been done many times with the cameras over the years, no excuse, speeding and wrong, do I blame the camera for being there? No that's all on me. Anyone that thinks they can speed 'safely' is crazy

If they put the average speed cameras on the road would it make it safer? Wouldn't know the stats on the accidents  in regards to speeding, carelessness, recklessness and so on, but in the meantime till its sorted it needs some attention.

What stage is it at with planning and at what point will they government say we've taken into considerations your issues of not having it but we are going ahead with it anyways? 

Yes 100%, but it's more the optics of it. Another horrific crash on the A5, and the following morning there's a speed van (of which I'm sure there is only a limited nunber) in a safe part of the A5 trying to catch motorists doing 5mph over the 30 approaching an overtaking lane. The van definitely be out on the A5, but situated near an accident black spot.... Was a hot topic of conversation among the Strabanimals and Omagh folk in our work yesterday

If you're doing 35mph in a 30 you deserve a fine. There's a reason it's 30 and not 40.

"If you hit a pedestrian: at 40 mph there is a 90 percent chance they will be killed. at 35 mph there is a 50 percent chance they will be killed. at 30 mph there is a 20 percent chance they will be killed."

This I know, I said it's the optics of it and went on to explain. I definitely don't need lectured in road safety

Genuinely starting to feel sorry for Brolly. GAA people who once valued his opinion now laugh at him, not with him and no-one believes a word he says.

This is true. The only reason he's still in the media at all now seems to be to laugh at him. I don't know anyone who would actually pay any heed to him apart from an eye roll. T'is a sorry state and he's even managed to turn his own against him. Pity, he was entertaining once.

He speaks well on a wide range of non GAA topics on the Free State, some very enjoyable episodes
