Hurling League 2014

Just repeating myself, but all the anti-Nash law will do is make the game far more cynical, and make goal chances for rarer as defenders can deliberately foul 20 yards from goal with even less punishment.

The new rules regarding cards mitigate against defenders being able to take chances like that and are designed to prevent cynical play.

I thought black cards only applied to football but we’re debating hurling penalty taking and potential for more fouling? Am I picking this up incorrectly?

Shite I thought they were in hurling as well, I stand corrected. An unbelievable job of clamping myself.

That’ll teach me to pay less attention to GAA during the gridiron season.

There’s talk if the introduction of a hooter system for ending matches too. I hadn’t realised there was a problem (unless you are JBM).

takes away the human impulse of referees to give underdogs and small teams like Clare and Limerick one last chance to level things up even though regulation time is long up

There has generally been a soft rule of seeing how the last play develops. I find it fair since the amount of injury time played is usually very inaccurate anyway.

Ah the old Home of Hurling chestnut, who the fuck cares what Hotel they held the meeting in, are Tipperary people that bereft of noteworthiness (and I thought they weren’t, their role of honour is impressive by any standards) that they have to continually claim this “honour”? And is it an honour? They held a meeting in what was a central location, its not exactly Jamie Naismith and the 13 rules or anything. The Hurling league is back, Congress is coming up, we’re about to elect a new President, we have Garth coming to rain money, would you ever fuck off with this shitehawkery.

Portlaoise is far more central than Thurles and god knows you’d be proud if it was founded there. I don’t like Tipp as much as the next man but the GAA was founded there and there’s nothing we can do about it.

well if the timekeeping is out of the refs hands, then the injury time should be completely accurate and no need any more to let play develop. timewasting should become usesless in this case, as long as the timing is done correctly.

It won’t be though. The clock is signalled to be stopped by the ref for injuries or a major break in play. Fuck acting for an extra 30 seconds to take a free or a luck out will become more effective as the ref won’t even have the soft power to allow 30 seconds or the last play or so at the end.

Who was trying to “do” anything about it? The constant bleating over it is amusing. As you say yourself, it could as easily have been a backwater like Portlaoise, why would that have been something to be proud of as a result? Just shitehawkery is all.

As for the Nash rule, allow someone throw a hurl at him as he moves past the 2 steps, this should even it out.

but do the women footballers, who will probably be the benchmark for this, not stop the clock when the ball goes dead and then restart it on resumption, without any input from the ref, other than for injuries. If they were really looking for a benchmark, they should look at Aussie rules and their timekeeping, where once the ball is dead and out of play, the clock stops. they also have a minimum time for playing on after a free is awarded, and also a minimum time to take a shot on goal if you win a free or mark and are shooting. so you pretty much cant timewaste by having the ball dead.

Liam Watson is rumoured to be heading to Dublin. He’s not doing much to dispel the rumours on twitter either but its hard to know what to make of that. He’s had quite a turbulent time with Antrim GAA to say the least, be quite the capture for Dublin you’d imagine.

That would make sense yes, but what I read was that the clock stops when the ref signals for it, not for normal breaks in play such as the ball going dead.

In other words, they are putting one rule in place to lessen cynicism, and putting another one place to increase it. Sounds like incompetence.
