Getting Back in the Game/you'd want your head examined to referee a ladies football match

Kate Flood kicking some fine scores in this junior final. Louth have the better kickers in general, Antrim looking to carry it all the way in.

Camogie rather than Ladies Football, but was at a Club Challenge match last week referred by an Intercounty Ref (Camogie)

40 fouls blown for in 62 mins of Camogie. Taking away ball-out-of-play time, it was more than a foul a minute of action

Brutal stuff for both teams really and kinda concerning. There were not 40 infringements worth of fouls to be fair to the teams and it’s a little bit lazy of the referee in my opinion.

Ladies Football has gone out of control so the whistle being blown. It’s a dead sport. For Kickouts I think some rules need to be brought in around the amount of attacking players allowed into the 45. It’s ugly every single time.

That was a cracking score by the left footed Tyrone number 13 there.

Tremenjus move by the Tyrone girls worked from a short kickout and that should be the clinching goal.

A Leix player decides to sit down on the ground for no apparent reason 20 metres from goal and gets a free for it.

Another beauty of a score in response from Tyrone number 13 Niamh O’Neill. She’s a beautifully balanced, skilful player.

Fuck Meath

Meath getting an awful toasting here so far

Meath have gone back an awful lot from team who won 2 in a row in 2021 and 22’.

Main difference is efficiency in front of the posts, Meath have left a very scorable 1-4 or 1-5 behind them thus far whereas Dublin have been ruthless.

Emma Duggan is after missing a handy free there. She’s not racking up huge scores like when she broke through first.

She’s missed 2 easy enough ones and Vikki Wall missed another free from the other side along with a great early goal chance from play.

Thee appears to be a clear tactic to foul Meath and prevent goals. Very cynical stuff and indicative of the way the ladies game has gone sadly

She’d a bad injury there a year or two back. From good Portlaoise Duggan stock.

They need to keep tapping over their points and the goals will come

You’d hope the referee begins punishing some of this cynical play

He gave meath 2 fair soft frees there

Wall fucking off playing that AFL and Rugby 7s horse shite didn’t help

That was a foul though

Youd have to think Dublin are too far ahead and way to cynical to lose this lead

Nothing cynical about that :joy:
