[quote=“Gman, post: 862874, member: 112”]not so much cock if it gets smashed to bits by someone blasting a ball at you from 10 yards away.
but where does it stop? if the players are being forced to stay on the line, then why cant you go even further and throw the ball right in to the small square and hit it off the bounce or on the ground?
as chewy says, its too ambiguous the way it is. I just think the rewards for getting a simple free are too much. more than just one crank as well, and as I said, this was a motion proposed before Nash and his high profile free taking became apparent.
I’d agree with glas too that taking frees from the hand in football are a joke, in that a ref will make a player taking it off the ground be millimetre spot on to where it is, yet taking it from the hand can can you loads of yardage.[/quote]
amazed players don’t wear “jock straps” now - you can get a sliotar or a hurl in the nuts in open play just as easily

Don’t play so or let your kids play. Too much of a chance of injury.
The football thing had a rule also, just not enforced.

More goals, more excitement, more inventions to stop it.
I’m not against a refining of it, but I have a funny feeling this has a lot to do with Nash an his County of birth.[/quote]
ah kev, dont throw out that old chestnut again. it has fuck all to do with Nash or the fact he is from Cork. Fucksake I even said it was a motion sent in before he was on the national stage doing it, I used Lester Ryans goal in the Kilkenny final as an example, and complained about DJ doing it against us for years in the 90s.
there is fuck all inventions to stop it. Patrick Kelly tried to by charging out at it and people went nuts over it and whinged when he did that. More goals are great, but they should be worth a goal, not a result of some harmless free given far out from the goal. If someone can place a ball into a top corner from 20m from those frees, then thats a better skill IMO. Throwing it forward 10m and smashing it with a goalkeepers hurl is, in my opinion, not as good a skill, and the rewards are greater than what the free is for.

Just because there is a more skillful way of scoring a goal doesn’t mean another way should be outlawed.
It’s a cranks way of looking at it. Hopefully sense is seen.

If I’m a crank, then so be it! and fuck everyone from Cork too while I’m at it.

scoring a goal with 14 men on the line is a skill
Great win for Rochestown over Midleton in the Harty today. Huge boost if Cork City had one really strong secondary school in hurling. A good deal of Blackrock/Douglas underage go there. Those two seem to be strongest city underage hurling sides at the moment.
And eff you two. All this bitching and moaning by anti Cork cunts about health and safety and acting like Helen Fucking Lovejoy!Bullshit!Where ye saying this when Davy Fitz used to be doing the same thing about 10 years ago and even less?When you give away a penalty then it’s only right and proper that the advantge lies with the penalty taker.Anyway if i was a Wexford man i would be more worried about my counties slide down the rankings into obscurity over the years!As for John Corcorans comments they were a bit small time but i still loved that punch line about Pavorotti!That Carlow pricks dig at us was small time as well!

Up Cork.[/quote]
would ever go and fuck off down some hole you utter cretin. did I fucking talk about penalties you clown? what the fuck has Wexfords slide down the rankings got to do with the way frees on 20 line are been taken? you utter, utter idiot. Of course it would be an asshole like you that would like Corcorans comments, putting the small counties back in their box where they belong. prick. anti cork? no, anti dickheads like you.
I’m not against a refining of it, but I have a funny feeling this has a lot to do with Nash an his County of birth.[/quote] The bottom line here is that a 20 meter free is a 20 meter free, not a 17,16 or 15 meter free. Nash can’t be singled out as a reason for changing the rule i agree, but it is something that needs to be addressed imo.
There was a Dublin player bitching about Cork being too big for punishment like the banks in the papers last week.Well unlike his own county there’s no tax payers money and goverment approved grants going towards hurling development in Cork and any other county!Im sick of everyone blaming Cork for trying to change the league structure when Limerick were at it too!For the record i think the Cork county board should have just took their medicine on the matter.They should be more worried about sorting out Corks underage hurling crises instead of worrying about dodgy backroom dealings.
I am unsure about this. Is it under the guise of safety? If so why is their not the same focus on defenders\goalies like Pa Kelly running towards the striker to put themselves in danger? Also - in general play lads blast the ball at the keeper from 5 or 6 yards!
apparently Nicky Rackard was doing the same as Nash in the 1950s from dead balls. Is this true? DJ used bring it in close.
Actually John Corcorans comments were a fucking disgrace now that i have more time to reflect on them.Were all GAA people and hurling needs to be nurtured and thriving in all counties where this a love of this great game.

My point was clear, it had nothing to do with safety. If a free is awarded from 20 or 45 meters then it should be taken from there.
In Australian Rules, the mark point is where the free kick is taken from. The player can retreat then to improve his run up, maybe the GAA should look at this. I have no problem with any player taking a long run up, but i think the ball should be struck from the correct distance.
Well when im in a hate filled and spiteful mood i don’t want to give enemy forces the satisfaction. Is John aware that a Carlow man played for Cork in the 90’s!
