Kicking The Sliotar

[johnneycool]

The only thing that should touch the sliothar should be a hurl.
Ban handpassing and kicking before the game turns into football.

what's your stance on catching as you need to use the hand for that?

Use your hurl God Johnny you must have been a bad hurler if your used your hands to touch the ball at any stage in a match.......... Why don't we just play Shinty instead

So you wouldnt like to see guys like Shanahan cathching the ball like he did with two great fetches on Sunday?
Your argument is ridiculous! Also goalkeeepers rely on catching quite a bit.
Catching , kicking & the handpass offer players the option to play the ball or gather it in an alternative way.
They are skills of the game.......to remove them wouldnt make the game better but worse to watch in my opinion!

here's a question...

Player A strikes the ball with hurley or foot across the goal and Player B dives across and palms the ball to the net on the VOLLEY.

Is it a goal?? had an arguement in the pub about this before

[johnneycool]

Technically yes as it not a handpass as you were not in possession before playing the ball, but I'd say a lot of referee's wouldn't give it.

[EddieMerx]

Tough question, agree should be a goal but refs probably would rule it out. I saw a class headed goal in a Gaelic game before which the ref ruled out

It is most definitely a goal.  If the ref doesn't give it then he's wrong and the team that scores it will have a severe grievance!  You can put the ball into the net with the end of your c**k provided you are not in possession of the ball beforehand! (and your c**k is of a sufficient size)

goal-line, or
(ii) with his hand(s)

[EddieMerx]

That pretty much answers that one, out of interest does your rule book mention anything about heading a ball in gaelic?

(i) by carrying the ball over his opponents'
goal-line;
(ii) a goal with his hands except as provided in
Rule 1.2 EXCEPTION (ii);
(iii) a point with his open hand(s), but may
score a point by fisting the ball.
3.2 A score may be made by striking the ball in
flight with the hand(s).

I guess that if it's not mentioned as being a legitimate way to score, then a headed goal ought to be disallowed.

[EddieMerx]

But if it hits off a players arse, knee, face, chest or groin region it would be counted!

[playwiththewind1st]

erm-pass, i tend to make it up as i go along.

Yes most definitely.

years ago one of our players scored against Lamhs with a headed goal, deliberate headed goal.

should a goal be scored when a ball comes off someones head? yes it should be given. if I'm refereeing and someone does it on purpose I'll not give it.

You would probably start swearing at yourself for giving it & then book yourself for challenging your own authority!
