This is stroke politics at its worst

Not really. The cork lass getting cleared to play the AIF last year was stroke politics at it’s worst.

JP would be moving an independent review team TO A BIGGER HOUSE

[glasagusban]

Are all Clare people absolutely mental in the head when it comes to rules about hurling?

[Big_Dan_Campbell]

They discreetly raise it to the ref who reviews before submitting his report.

I don’t think it would be used very often but would at least be available.

[maroonandwhite]

God I wouldn’t be trusting refs, most are complete morons. I’d allow teams raise it to a review board, who then give transparent answers

@Big_Dan_Campbell

The player doesn’t determine the outcome, his team have the ability to raise an incident for review. Before they do they may well consult with the player informally before doing so but players and teams know what is acceptable in a given day and not.

Again the point of this is that it unprovoked striking or very dangerous play would be called out and caught. But a lot of the handbags and tit for tat stuff which by the letter of the law could be reds if interpreted in a certain way on video review don’t go any further

Makes perfect sense. Who would be trusted to be impartial. Who would want that job.

Fair play to JP for sorting all this out. Just shows the man he is

Because your brains are in your….?

Serious question for you, did you ever play adult hurling?

So much stuff goes on a given day at all levels of championship hurling from junior to senior intercounty that could be considered a red by the letter of the law if you pour back through it. Hurling is a wonderfully unique game because of how you have to play it and how close to the edge you need to be on the day.

But those involved would tell you that things happen and there are flash points, vast majority are willing to give and take belts and digs within reason. It is the very sly or very late stuff that normally are the issues and lead to games boiling over or bad blood.

If you start independently reviewing championship match and pouring over overt camera angle you will find multiple incidents in most of the big games which by the letter of the law are reds but refs and players would tell you are not. Like should Cian Lynch have been retrospectively banned for his picking up and dumping of Rob Downey in last years A/I final, an independent review would probably say yes but I doubt any player on the field or anyone involved with either side felt it was a red after the game was over and done with.

Supposedly the county board used a meejum to channel phelim and stroke fahy in order to get stamp fahy off the hook

[Big_Dan_Campbell]

I’m not trying to have a pop, I’m just trying to provide a bit of context.

Even at the lowest level of junior hurling in a given county come the knockout championship stages you have to be pumped and willing to nail anything that moves if you want to win games like that - let alone senior intercounty level.

As a player you know when a fella has done you dirty, you know when you draw it on yourself or give as good as you get too.

[glasagusban]

Is there any example of a sport that works on such a set of rules? Adjudicators of rules have to be independent. It’s such a basic and simple and universally accepted concept that I’m struggling to believe I have to point it out to you. Your suggestion is such nonsense I don’t know where to begin.

Have you examples of a similar sport to hurling for me?

[Lazarus]

A great night for hurling, justice and judicial proceeding

[Jahan]

Rugby has an independent citing commissioner, however teams can bring incidents to the attention of the commissioner.

[Esso_Oil]

@flattythehurdler

The two Clare lads were absolutely right to get off because it was two incidents brought to light entirely and only by TSG, which wasn’t fair.

Go back again and look at the live game. Duggans belt on Finn was picked up and commmented on by Smartie Morrissey.

[Breaking_my_balls]

He was complaining about ye being soft cunts, throwing yereselves around the place. Jason Flynn made a show of ye that day, twas mortifying

[myboyblue]

Smartie Morrissey, lolz
