Yes, then it will be a rule change. Pedantic :)

Lads any idea yet on where the munster final will be played?

Hoping for a day out in thurles

AZOffaly

If it's Limerick v Clare it'll probably be Thurles because I don't think Clare are in any home and away agreements because Ennis isn't good for that. If it's Cork v Limerick it'll be Cork I'd say because they were in Limerick last year.

Thanks. I knew there were some home & away arrangements in place in munster but wasn't sure if Clare were involved in any.

Hopefully Limerick v Clare in Thurles then  :)

Thanks  8) Been in Cork a few times, have some relatives down there. Never been to a game in Thurles before so that's my main goal this summer.

The ball is now far lighter so the potential to score a 21 yard free was much greater than it was 20 years ago. I don't think a 21 yard free was ever meant to be a very good goal scoring chance. Why should you be allowed to take a 21 yard free from anywhere other than 21 yards? No other sport in the world allows free takers the latitude to take frees closer than where they're awarded nor would anyone justify claims that they should be by saying it gives them a better chance to score!

I just fear we'll see a lot of cynical fouling when players are trying to get through on goal. That was the response from a lot of county players on Twitter too. Diarmuid O' Sullivan was joking about making a comeback as defenders will have a licence to kill, but maybe the black card can be used to discourage that.

It won't change the ratio of penalties scored not scored by a lot, if any. Anyone dragging a player down deliberately in hurling will/should be, by the rules get a yellow card. That defender will be walking a fine line in getting two yellows then the rest of the game.

Refs will be told to hand out yellows for these type tackles to sort out frequent such fouls
None of us are getting out of here alive, so please stop treating yourself like an after thought.

This should be a cracking second half, wee Fitzy will have to earn his money during half time to get Clare back into it

Cork versus Limerick should be a good match.

Zulu

That Nash didn't take the penalty today proves he was breaking the rules and Cork knew it.

AZOffaly

And the fact Horgan score two of them from that area proves they didn't need to do it.

Davy Fitz, like Mickey Harte in the football was less than impressed with the ref today - Cork scored 2-11 from frees. Has Davy a point or is Davy just trying to make excuses ?.
