Vague enough although youâd consider from a competent perspective" a goal scoring opportunity" a position where the player in possession has the direct opportunity to score a goal in his next play/action i.e. one on one with keeper or goal (where a keeper could commit the foul e.g. Eoin Murphy) and within the 1st and/or 2nd of the four steps allowed.
In any world Owens made an incompetent call today, advised or otherwise. Taking today as a precedent practically all fouls on an attacker within the 21 would be a penalty and black card.
'In hurling, a team will now be awarded a penalty if one of their players has a goal-scoring opportunity and is pulled down, tripped, or struck carelessly with a hurley while heâs inside the opposition 20-metre line or semi-circular arc.
The player who commits the foul will be yellow-carded and sin-binned for 10 minutes.â
How did nobody along the way question how a man in possession inside the 20 but on the sideline could ever realistically be said to have a goal scoring opportunity. Shambolic.
Yes, as you say, that piece is about the best out there. I was hoping maybe a lurking referee might be able to offer greater detail.
Even so, the point is implicitly clearcut: âIn hurling, a team will now be awarded a penalty if one of their players has a goal-scoring opportunity and is pulled down, tripped, or struck carelessly with a hurley while heâs inside the opposition 20-metre line or semi-circular arc.â
It is the player in possession who must hold the imferred goal opportunity, not an inferred assisted teammate.
Paddy Deegan made a smart play near half time yesterday then in delivering the body check on Chin as he was running at him inside the arc. No pull down, trip or use of the hurl. Just an old fashioned dunt of a shoulder into the chest as Chin committed him and laid the ball off to McDonald outside him.
Iâd take Brian Lohan at Galway if Clare were stupid enough to dispense of his services. A great man, and a great example of strong words softly spoken.
He will definitely get another year at the helm. Whether he wants to carry in after that is anyoneâs guess. The slieveens wonât be able to force him out.
Havenât read everything above, but I assume Iâm going to go against the grain a bit here, but when he turned the man (and had he not been hauled down), youâd immediately think oh goal chance here wouldnât you? Haring into an acre of space. So there was a goal scoring opportunity.
The problem is, pretty much anything is a goal scoring opportunity. Itâs pure vague. Sure Seamie scored a goal today from a mishit.
In this case the punishment doesnât fit the crime. But you canât blame the ref I donât think. Stupid vague fucking rule, brought about by the classic reactionary GAA brigade.
Itâs absolutely ridiculous. Sin Bin only and a normal free in todayâs instance. But to give a penalty for that, ffs.
The Cork penalty last night was soft as fuck too, Cahalane was on his way down before Casey ever touched him, but sure thatâs hardly a surprise, they must have spent weeks practicing the feigning head injury routine
