All-Ireland Hurling Championship 2019 II*** Up Laois

I suppose I’m more thinking of a violent red card type offence. Taking your soccer analogy, if the defender went in and cleaned him out of it, the ref would still send him off. If it was just a harmless foul, but the technical side of soccer means if in general play it would merit a red for last man back, then the ref wouldnt give the red and go back for the offside.

The other part is if the car would be rescinded, and I would believe if the ref gave a card, he wouldnt be able to rescind it. In your example, if say Fanning hauled down bubbles, I think he would use his discretion and not book him for it as he had blown the whistle. Its more down to the common sense of the referee. But a red card offence for a violent act would still apply IMO.

I have never seen a defender being sent off or booked for that matter for fouling an opponent once the offside flag went up. Once the technical foul was given what happened afterwards bears no real purpose. Granted violent conduct can get you sent off at any point but your run of the mill cynical foul won’t stand if there was a technical foul beforehand.

Look at it another way, a corner forward has the ball and is bearing down on goal, he overcarries or takes three catches and just after he commits the technical foul he is taken out with what should be a yellow card. That yellow is never given, I know this as I would often try and give a fella a late dunt in these circumstances. You will never get pulled for it unless you are completely out of order.

yeah again, the initial query was on a red card not a yellow. Referees generally use discretion in cases like that. Run of the mill fouls that would be borderline yellows dont generally get called.

Was the ‘square ball’ rule not changed a few years ago, so that the crux is a player being outside the square when the player in possession strikes the ball?

If so, the goal was clearly pukka. And Brian Gavin was wrong, on this incident, in latest column.

Think that’s only football. It’s still when the ball reaches the square which is almost impossible to rule on in hurling I think

Thanks.

Even if so, I think CMcD was still alright. Held his run. Would need to look again but I think his feet were outside when ball enters square.

I think the talk about this particular goal being “disallowed” is disingenuous. The referee blew the whistle ages before the ball ended up in the net. Maybe we should have kept playing after the full time whistle and knocked the ball into the goal and claimed a 1 point victory.

I ended up at that function in 2009. I had met a Tipperary friend/business associate after the match for a drink. He had a table for the Burlington. With Tipperary losing, his phone was just hopping with fellows pulling out on him so he prevailed upon me to go along. The losing hotel the night of an All Ireland Final is one miserable place.

To be honest I would think most players and managers would prefer go home .

I got tickets for the Waterford banquet in 2008 from the Supporters club. Anyway I got a call the Friday before the match from the supporters club that they had given my the tickets in error and as a result the President of the club had no tickets for the function and would I mind if he came out to the house and picked up the tickets and gave me my money back. Sure what could I do. I had been looking forward to having Marty in a headlock and shouting Come on the Deise drunkenly on live TV but I did the right thing and gave back the tickets …

I would think the atmosphere would have been sombre at that ?

What’s several notches below sombre?

Desolation.

It’s also pretty shit the night of a drawn final.

There was a rousing speech in the Burlo that night from I think it was the Chairman of the Tipperary Supporters Club. Something along the lines of, We are Tipperary, the home of hurling, the Premier County and nobody can match the sheer bloody mindedness of a Tipperary person and in particular the Tipperary hurlers when they set their mind to a task. And make no mistake about it, we will be back on this night in 2010 to set right the wrongs of today.

He was dead right on every score there. His Waterford counterpart probably made the same speech in 2008.

Funereal

Would anyone be able to point me towards the radio programme where Dónal Óg Cusack – two Sundays ago, I think – discussed the Cork-Tipperary rivalry and the Cork-Kilkenny rivalry? Cannot seem to find it online.

Thanks in advance to anyone.

@Fagan_ODowd put up Jackie Tyrell’s latest piece please
