It’s near impossible to ref it.

It’s impossible tbf. I’d say they will do away with it sooner rather than later

@FlakeAway

Players do it so fast it just looks like a throw, the ball only has to be a millimetre above the palm of the hand and that’s perfectly legal.

Do you think this is a skill that all teams have got massively better at in the last few seasons so? Becuase I don’t ever think there was so many borderline throws until last year or two, would think with advent of HD TV etc that it would become less of an issue spotting them watching on telly, not more difficult.

Not a jibe at Limerick either. Every team is at it IMO

No it isn’t. The rule states there has to be a clear/definite release and striking action

[FlakeAway]

Well if we want a ref to blow for every hand pass out there we’ll have some spectacle on our hands.

[Big_Dan_Campbell]

Enforce the rules and players and coaches will adapt. Too many hand passes are release and strike in the same motion. If not clear and obvious blow for the free

@Watchyourtoes

Keep that to Premierview, thanks

I’d say things are pretty panicked over there

[POTUS]

Clare probably the biggest offenders, in fairness

[ChairmanDan]

Possibly the most fateful pre-match parade since 1996 when Limerick broke off half way up the Cusack Stand side to avoid the Wexford fans in Hill 16. That was game set and match to Wexford really and not Gary Kirby’s finger.

Good to see though that Limerick have learned from the lessons of history.

Yup, I knew we were fucked as soon as that happened

[iron_mike]

Genuine question. Iirc Waterford beat Kilkenny in a cracker of a league final that year and celebrated like twas an aif. Did that get to their heads?

We beat them in the league in 07 and yes we celebrated - it was our first national title since 1963. Even if it was “only the league”. However Kilkenny were badly off colour that day and we still only managed to beat them by a point. Shefflin missed a 21 yard free from more or less in the Centre of the goal in the second half.

At least we have moved on and notched up three wins. Wexford haven’t been seen in Croke Park on All Ireland final day since.
Apart of course from Martin Storey getting to bring the cup in for the Limerick captain to collect.

Fail to prepare…

Waterford were the flashy, heart and tattoo on sleeve, dramatic, townyish antithesis to that Kilkenny team

Graham Mulcahy V Corkness

[the_man_himself]

That’s bullshit. It’s easy to see if the ball leaves somebody’s hand before a handpass or if it’s a throw

[iron_mike]

It is in its hole. There have been plenty of incidents where a p,ayer has been blown up for throwing and the replay has shown otherwise.

[the_man_himself]

There hasn’t been a throw blown as a free in about 3 years

[flattythehurdler]

@FlakeAway

I mean anyone here who’s ever played hurling its not like you’re ever coached to throw a ball and it wouldn’t be a natural thing to do.

We weren’t, but nowadays I’d say they throw it if in doubt.

[Aristotle]

Didn’t Lynch have one blown last year vs Tipp that would have led to a goal for Hego? And the replay showed it was blatantly a handpass?
