NFL Division 1 2025

How can the buzzer go when the ball is dead?

The buzzer goes at 70 mins regardless of where the ball is.

Are you asking why is the clock continuing to count up when there is a dead ball (i.e. should the clock not stop once the ball goes dead?) Its just thats a question I had at the start but the clock doesnt stop for dead balls

Are you being deliberately obtuse?

How can the game end when the ball is dead and there's a kick still to be taken?

Guess who watched Shawshank Redemption

Can anyone remember from 2nd half of the Armagh Mayo game. A ball dropped short into Armagh man's hands in the square and he passed it back to Rafferty.

Whistle was blown i thought it was going to be a free in to Mayo but then Armagh had possession and a free.

Can anyone recall this? What happened here.

Fair bit of discussion on this over on the rules thread

So effectively Tyrone's 15 v Kerry's 13 yesterday was really 13 v 13 because Tyrone had to keep 3 players back.
Hence the lack of Tyrone killer punch in that key 50th-60th minute period. The two black cards didn't really have much effect.
Kerry played better & managed the rules better during that 10 minutes.

Can someone please explain how Mattie Tierney's mistimed shoulder warranted a red card, yet Mattie Ruane's deliberate elbow to Connor Turbitt last night only got a yellow card?

Didn't look an elbow to me and I was fairly close. Looked like an open hand to the face trying to push a player off.

I also thought Tierney's was harsh. Trying to go shoulder to shoulder and the Donegal player dips to turn at last second. Not even clear if there was contact to the head.

Not anywhere near him and unless there is an official view from the other side to show contact then his red card will be rescinded.

 the ref blew for the foul, the linesman was straight on to his radio to get attention of ref, if I give the linesman the benefit of doubt I'd like to know what he saw that David didn't see from his position. The ref btw was 4 yards away

If a player ducks down and there is contact with the head then it's not the defenders fault. Donegal player turned and ducked down which led to the contact although it did look a fair shoulder to shoulder.

Shoulder to shoulder blade but defo not the neck or head from the look we got, again I'll say that we didn't see it from the sideline and the player held his face on contact, but unless the Galway lad had 3 arms I can't see how it happened

It was a carbon copy of Greg McCabe's red card in the Galway QF in 2022. Both very harsh red cards.

Is that correct though? Surely Tyrone didn't need to keep 3 players back if Kerry only needed to keep one in the forward line. Do the rules not allow you to take the risk of playing all 15 players in the opposition half if you choose?

Didn't watch any Division 1 game yesterday however I see Jim McGuinness rested Ryan McHugh, Patrick McBrearty and Michael Murphy saying afterwards they have got six points and have already got what they wanted out of this league.

Don't blame Jimmy for that instead it's on HQ for having a league final scheduled a week before the Ulster championships commences.

Those at the top in their effort to demean the Provincial championships have totally devalued division one of national league.  If done right we should have two important competitions whereby every team is completing hard and more than delighted to win a national title instead we have a slow bicycle race to avoid the league final.

That's the rules. The full team need to keep 3 back at all times, the team with lesser numbers gets to drop players back. Completely stupid when you think these rules have been thought about for 1 year and no one thought about this.

Did Kerry score goals when Tyrone had more defenders than they had forwards?
