Gaa 2013

Don't know where those last few seconds came from!

Clare deserved at least a draw anyway.
 
Clare were the much better team.
 
:lol: Another draw. I'd prefer to have a winner on the day but looking forward to the replay.
 
1st hurling match I watched today, think it's a bit shit that they have to replay a final, a final shouldn't be replayed, should be a winner no matter what! (my prod opinion) ;)
 
There is nothing, NOTHING like a classic game of hurling. The first half was a bit dull, but still 22 scores on the scoreboard. The second half was unreal and I don't care if the ref played 24 seconds or 24 minutes over the 2minutes inj time, if we get another game like that, it will have been worth it.

Top class action, from top class teams and the best championship (in years and years/ever) continues! Absolute class....and I have it on Sky+.......! Brillent, brillent game.

It's entertaining though, isn't it?

Would be a lot better if more people from your community appreciated it for what it was. It's a great sport.

Yeah wasn't bad now, didn't know what was going on tbf, but rather enjoyed it!

A final should still be the last game ;)
 
Class second half. Fair play to Cork for the fight back.

Is the timing in the GAA like soccer with the extra time rule being a minimum of 2 mins?

In GAA it is down to the referees discretion. Is there a minimum rule in football? Never heard of it.
 
Well that game certainly lived up to it's billing. Clare deserved to win it I thought as they did the most hurling, no matter what they did though for one reason or another they just couldn't shake off Cork. Fair play to the ref for playing on an extra 30 seconds or so and giving Clare the chance to level it up as I felt he had already gave Cork a few very soft frees earlier on in the 1st half and I think he might have realized that too if he was looking back at them on a monitor at half time or something. A fantastic final though and one that has summed up this years Championship to a tee.

What I mean is that in soccer if the ref indicated 2 mins for example then he must play a minimum of 2 mins and unless there's other stoppages he'll play between 2 and 3 mins.

The amount of extra time on the board is the minimum time the ref can play. As long as he doesn't play under that time he can play for as long as he wants.

Here's the view from the Clare team's perspective during a team-talk
....and look at the Cork jersey sticking out under it all! The turncoat!

Oh joy.

McQuillan is a dick. Not saying he's pro or anti Dublin, he's just in general a dick of a ref.
 
Jarleth Burns seems to rate him very highly. Can't say I have any strong opinion of him other than to say that with the shite that's gone on all year with some of the other planks he can't be too bad an appointment.
 
There aren't many refs I do like tbf though. He did ref the final in 2011 IIRC, so all isn't bad.

Edit: course he did, jaysus how could I forget all the Kerry heads going mad after that game?
 
John Allen is after stepping down as Limerick hurling manager. If the shower of shites in the Galway county board had any sense now they'd be doing their living best to try and lure him for the Galway job. An outsider or a team of them is what's needed to try and sort out the mess and all the in fighting going on in Galway hurling at the moment and lads like John Allen won't become available that often, we have the talent atm to win an All-Ireland or two there's no two ways about that. I might give the county board office a ring later on and make the suggestion of going for him and see what they say to me.

Dublin holding onto Anthony Daly for another year or so is mighty news for them and their supporters too. The Leinster Championship is going to be a cracker next year.

McQuillan fecked Laois over in 2005 v DUBLIN. He wrote off 2 minutes of injury time for a 45, in favour of DUBLIN. He's as Dublin-centric as they come. If the GAA walked into Navan Road Social Welfare office and grabbed some lad with a 6-pack of Dutch Gold and a Dublin jersey on him, they wouldn't find someone more biased.

'kin joke.
