Tyrone's negative head-to-head against Armagh/Kerry/Mayo will be a big problem if they end up on 5.
Tyrone will have the afterburners on for the remaining rounds.

But O'Rourke should been sending bck on up front until they attacked again. Is it a slip up by the player or him.?

Wildweasel74

That was some goal, Tyrone's first one.

That commentator is likeable and passionate but he's all over the place at the best of times
Larryin - This treatment by HQ has continued right to the modern era, one day the truth will be know

Incredible pass by Harte really as he didn't have much of a gap to slip it past two Galway defenders. But it was inch perfect straight into Canavan's path.

Poor Derry.  A winning performance, like the Kerry game, then the wheels fell off.  Too bad one of the new rules wasn't to shorten the games.

They will be relegated  but funny enough they may have a better year then last year  even though they won the league last year, it is weird  How irrelevant the league is over all ?

Like the one against Mayo where McCurry layed it off to Harte and he picked out Canavan? Haven't seen it yet

Was like something out of the Ronnie O'Sullivan bag of tricks, so much precision, the ability to make that pass so the player didn't have to break stride is borderline genius in the context of a game of football at that level

As good a pass as you'll see

Quote from: omagh_gael on March 02, 2025, 07:08:13 PMHuge controversy at the end of Tyrone game with the 3 up infringement being called to allow Walsh the opportunity to equalise. Was listening to Galway Bay fm and they were as confused as anything.

Wed a man black carded who came on for last play. As far as I can make out he came on after the last free kick was called. Tyrone were adjudged to have broken 3 up as they were now returned to 15 men. However, the ball wasn't back in play by my reckoning as the free kick hadn't been hit. So can the ref call the 3 men up infraction? This allowed Walsh the option to take the ball out for 2 points.

Furthermore, on rte radio they said the ref made the call as a Galway backroom member came on to the field of play to tell him.

This is my reading of it listening to very mixed up and confusing radio broadcast. Could have a huge bearing If that cost point relegated us.

He had already been on for the play previous. Even Malachy wasn't complaining about the decision, he just said it was a mistake by his men

Tyrone availed of one earlier where Walsh stepped a foot across. Supposedly under the new guidance that's to be given as a free from the spot rather than in front of the goal but Tyrone got a two pointer from it. It is what it is

Cawley had an absolute shocker overall though. Some bizarre frees given.
This part of the rule change seems unnecessarily messy. I really don't like being able to pull those frees back to kick a two pointer for a technical offence like that. The punishment doesn't seem to fit the crime at all
I can only please one person per day. Today is not your day. Tomorrow doesn't look good either

Milltown Row2

So when is it a free from the point of crossing the line to having the free on the 14 with the potential to take it back to the arc and go for a two pointer?
None of us are getting out of here alive, so please stop treating yourself like an after thought.

It is when a player crosses the line to get the ball that it is a free from the halfway line, otherwise it is a 20m / free from the arc.

It does seem strange that there is such a difference in the punishment.  Step over the halfway line to win the ball and it's a free from there, but take 1 step over the line when you don't have the ball in your hand and you are conceding 2 points.

Armamike

The whole thing is far too overcomplicated! It's good to see games opening up but it's gone too far the other way with too much chaos.  We're seeing games now where a team can lead by 15 points one half and there's the same kind of swing the other way second half.  That's just nuts! 
That's just, like your opinion man.

Smokin Joe

It is the inconsistency with the "flexibility" that is very frustrating.

In earlier games some linesmen were allowing teams to "cross over", ie if a team had 3 men back and 1 crossed forward, but half a second later he was replaced by a teammate that wasn't given as a breach.

But in the Armagh v Dublin game on Saturday night at 64:15 on the RTE clock Kilkenny was pinged for a breach of the 3up rule even though he was replaced by a teammate in a fraction of a second.
