Quote from: balladmaker on May 11, 2024, 07:16:08 PMThe iPhone camera took some amazing pics last night, it seemed to pick up the colours a lot better that the human eye .... without the camera pics, it would just have looked like a bit of grey/white haze from my viewing point .... maybe too much light pollutionThe long i was outside the easier it was to see with the naked eye. Although thats the main beneift of living in the country. Expecting it to be a bit more northernly tonight so won't be as easy to see
Quote from: Main Street on May 08, 2024, 10:54:07 PMThe linesman isn't meant to put their flag up until the end of the play even if there is suspicion of offside. It was a massive error. The player does look marginally offside but it's hard to know for sure unless they use the technology. Also the champions League offside system is vastly superior to the premsQuote from: square_ball on May 08, 2024, 10:49:14 PMLinesman shouldn't have flagged but Madrid players had stopped playing before the ball ended up in the net so who knows how it would have panned out.The linesman flag carries no weight, players should only play until they hear the ref's whistle.
In any VAR the linesman's flag would be ignored.
Quote from: Tony Baloney on May 08, 2024, 09:30:07 PMMost obvious foul in the box you will see. Especially since it gave Nacho the space to kick the ball onwards towards the goalQuote from: Armagh18 on May 08, 2024, 09:28:47 PMDiving p***k!Wha?! Clear foul.
Quote from: AustinPowers on May 07, 2024, 10:21:45 PMWe've sent good musicians before. We've sent a LGBTQ act that resonates with a lot of what eurovision stands for. We've sent good singers. We've sent popular social media acts. We've sent a god damn turkey. We've now sent something completely different to what we've ever sent before and it actually stands a decent chance of doing well on the left hand side of the board for first time in a long timeQuote from: Rossfan on May 07, 2024, 09:05:16 PMQuote from: AustinPowers on May 07, 2024, 06:37:51 PMI was hoping Ireland would boycott it so we wouldn't be subjected to that act representing the country.
Upsetting your little narrow mind?
Aw diddums
No, but this country has some great musicians and singers. The fact that this was the best they could come up with is bonkers.

1st and 2nd favourties to win and both better songs than the Irish one IMO.

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
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?
Quote from: upmonaghansayswe on May 05, 2024, 07:35:57 PMYes an overcarry is a technical foulQuote from: Nanderson on May 05, 2024, 07:13:46 PMQuote from: David McKeown on May 05, 2024, 05:41:36 PMNo a technical foul during the advantage should result in reversal of the original decisionQuote from: upmonaghansayswe on May 05, 2024, 05:24:51 PMDuring 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.

And for clarity, an overcarry is a technical foul? Took a punt there.. It's pedantic but if that's right, it's mad that a co commentator would say that.
Also think the midfield mark should in include the AFL 'play on' at any time. Speed the thing along, Mayo 12 (I think) got caught. Needless stuff.

What is it there that the ref can't do?
Would blowing for the second foul not constitute a break in play during which the linesman could alert the ref to the first foul?
Once the referee has given a decision and has sounded his whistle to restart play, he shall not alter that decision.
Once he's blown and made a decision (rightly or wrongly) he can't change it
Different if he blows for a free and waves his hand in one direction when it should have been the other, that's common enough in games but everyone knows.
This was different. He didn't blow for the Johnston trip, play went on and the Down player grab the Armagh lad around the neck then he blew.
I thought the first was a free in fairness so the right thing happened in the end.
He'll be pulled on a few things, but the helter skelter of these games will provide mistakes all round
Not trying to be argumentative, BUT. Being pedantic really.
Is the "not blowing" of the whistle not a decision in itself, which he should not change?
While I did find the refereeing exasperating
The game it self was even more so and I suspect it would have been a nightmare to officiate.
In this instance he blew only for the second foul, after sounding his whistle and giving his decision, he then was confronted by the linesman and changed it.
There is nothing in the rules to say he can do that
