Crazy GAA Rule

at the end of 70 mins or 60 mins in a club game the game is over, extra time is a seperate game and the same player sent off cant come back on!

I know the rule but if it's a new game though why are same scores kept the same ! Anyway regardless Scooby of that how is it fair that's what i am asking? It's not fair it's crazy rule imo.

PMSL. Why are scores kept the same? Hahahahah...it's a draw you dumb &*@!. Good stuff freerider.

im happy enough with it anyway rocket,if you had a game with 3 or 4 sent off extratime would be a farce, its fair cos both teams know the rules!

Scooby cheers, but i still think it is crazy. Ricky, Scooby said it's a new game that is why i said that so need to try and twist it. I am just concerned that it's another rule that's not thought out rule and is destroying the game, Brolly said the same last week. Attendances are on the slide already in the GAA if they don't sit down and think about the rules we will end up with crowds like we had today at the games. People are fed up with all the rule changes and that is why Association football is the most played game on these Islands and both North and South.

Ha, that's almost, almost quite clever Freeloader. Well done.

Association football is the most played game?

maybe inside the pale but nowhere else...... hi boy have you tried to watch any of the world cup games ( best show on the planet apparently).... have watched snatches of it for 10 mins at a time and it is worse than watching a cctv of the speaking clock.....   


if this is a fishing thread you've caught me and well done but at one time today the cork/kerry game game was on one channel and slovenia vs somewhere else was on............ one was exciting and full of action and absorbing to watch.......... the other was akin to sitting in a nursing home listening to old people piss tier pants stuff......

the latter wasn't the gaa match.


feel sorry for the soccer mugs on this forum that try to big up their sport........ yawn.... it's got boring now listening to you guys.......


you say wotldwide audiences and sh1t like that............. but on 3rd week of sept the biggest game in the world will be taking place on jones' road as the figures for those attending live games on that weekend has shown for 4 of the past 5 years.............. not bad for an amateur sprt with it's own stadium that the great soccer and rugby public want to try to hi-jack at every available opportunity.


as i said if this is a fishing thread - well done you got me

if not...... what was the biggest attendance for a soccer game in ireland this year?     :) I rest my case mo chara

6th paragraph should read .............
that for 4 of the past 5 years the biggest attendance at any live game in the world at hat weekend was in croke park at the all-ireland final........... not bad for an amateur sport eh.........

Great post but please do not turn this into a GAA v Football but i totally agree with your post Francies fancies. It just about one crazy rules of the GAA that need to look at. I always go to the All-Ireland finals tickets are no problem to come by and love to have a few jars and watch a good game and meet the same old faces every year in Barry's Hotel. So many games are dull these days that defensive approach players not knowing how to pass to each other no one knowing if it is full time or extra time and today the new farce allowing a team to replace it's players after they were sent off. These people i meet each year won't around for ever you know !

I did not see the Cork v Kerry match today but i think the dross served up last week made a lot of GAA fans stay at home to watch the Slovenia v Algeria match which i heard was poor as well francies fancies, and this culminated in a lousy attendance for the sports two best team today. I mean there is something wrong when hardcore GAA fans want to stay at home to watch a team Ireland beat 3-0 only a few weeks ago, is the magic of the world cup that great? Instead of watching the two best teams in the sport play. Can you imagine if the national team were playing in the world cup what the attendances today would have been !!!

I really think the GAA need to do two things have a look at their rules, sorting out how you pass the ball, define what a tackle is, not allow the extra time rule to continue as it is, where teams are allowed to replace players that have been sent off esp ones that have been sent off for violent conduct. Please rule out the change from 15 to 13 players once and for all next it will be changing it down to 11 players. Also act on what we seen last weekend when the ref manufactured a draw and lastly finish Croke park stadium. We have the new modern Aviva now it looks miles ahead because it is finished, Croker has great history but only 3 finished sides, also some of the viewing from the stands is poorish and the sight lines need re-examined an maybe the old lady needs a facelift. Oh and announce to the players the TV companies what games can go into extra time or not.

Finally 82,286 spectators at Croke Park but we need to get these people to come to more games than one a year and that includes me as well. If you build it they will come as the saying goes Francies fancies or finish it in this case, if the GAA does not acts it will fall further behind football/soccer in this country.

It took Freeloader an hour to write that lump of transparent gibberish. Go to bed man. That was an hour you'll never get back.

I got it ff, i know what you mean mate, i don't think that's true at all with Barce v Seviila from a couple of years back, there was some F1 GP that hammered them as well. Actually not sure if you know this but 105k turned out see Dallas in the NFL last year. Not bad for city of 1.4 million when you compare it to Dublin and today crowd , sorry mate off to bed this is killing me, nice chatting you, lets hope the GAA act and we can get more people to attend regularly.

Learn to read, he said "THAT WEEKEND". Stop embarrassing yourself at every opportunity.

What do you mean, i was talking about events occurring during the weekend of the All Ireland final, in terms of TV audience an TV All Ireland final would not be in the top 100 sporting events of that weekend, this needs to change we need to get international credibility. Anyway please Ricky leave this thread. It saddens me how you masquerade as a GAA fan while not dealing with the real issues at hand and our decline in crowds, one1 good crowd a year in the old lady is sad to see at this stage.

LOL. Good stuff. I think we should be happy having the 3rd largest stadium in Europe and domestic TV viewing figures the envy of every other sport. I heard more people watch the All-Ireland final than attend the LOI in 50 years. What a great stat. I'm going to sleep soundly knowing that. Racing is over so GN Freeloader.

watch the All-Ireland on a single day, that is.

Ricky just leave before i embarrass you by asking you for links to back up your glue fueled claims ! you know nothing about either sport.

Another thread hijacked, this place should be renamed the Badmouth Irish sports forum

I would take many a friend who come over from either the UK or Australia to Croke Park. If you told an English person that even 20,000 would come to watch an a non professional game they would be shocked to bring them to an 80,000 which does get filled to near capacity over the summer just blows their mind.

Its hardly a shocking attendance but one I would put more down to the weather then anything else for both the games. I remember them only getting 55,000 or so for the Westmeath game last year at this same stage so not a huge fall.

I attend as much sport as possible both GAA and LOI but wouldn't take a tourist to see a game in Tallaght,Dalymount or Richmond by any means.

Great post squigs, great post ! esp the bit about people hijacking threads.

3rd largest stadium.

http://tinyurl.ie/07f

5th and 6th best attended sporting events in a year.

I take that back about the 50 year thing, it's actually closer to 40 years. Apologies.

wha?

i agre with worndrider, de gaa are bleedin stupeh . the fai are rapah . how bleedin many did went to de duds gem at Croker Park ? 50k ? PMSL ... wud only tek us 25 games to get that many , a bleedin season is allk .

Shurrup wud ye . SRFC 4 eva !!!

Ricky we all go to the finals, as i said i meet the same people in Barry's Hotel every year. It's the run of the mill games that the real issue. Just over 20k at the Cork v Kerry replay and these two are our sports two best teams , Laois, Meath, Wexford and Dublin between them had 49k despite these areas having a population of well over half the country. Dublin may only have a few championship games a year the stadium should be full every time. I find the whole thing quite depressing what would have happened if our national team were playing in the world cup.

The biggest sporting event ever held in Ireland will take place in the Aviva next season in terms of everything bar the actual attendance and that will be the uefa cup final. I hope health and safety never make us finish Croker as having a big stadium is the only thing we seem to have mate

Yawn.

"Biggest event bar attendance". PMSL.

Whatstheword sounds like an slightly more educated workrider/rocketfingers.

Yer bleedin deadly rocketfingrs. i agre conpletely . 20k? gerr oudafit . we get dat in only 5 gamez in dat stadium the bleedin State bilt 4 us .  like me own gaff .     lol .

ricky shytester , you diden't answer the question last night why ?

You forgot to reply as Rocketfingers there Workrider. Good stuff.

just wondered why you never got back last night ,cant answer the question eh

daradasi , dont put your hand out to be slapped ,i ll have to get sof in to check your  spelling ,you poor uneducated spoilt brat

Why won't he answer the question Workrider?

dont know rocketfingers , but these gaa lads when the truth hits home they have a tendency to sulk  you wont here from him now till a loi fan breaks wind

Workrider, I think it's time to call a halt. You've been soundly beaten and made a fool of. You've no credibility. I feel sorry for you, most people here post bets and are somewhat successful, you solely post nonsense. I'm lowering myself to your depths engaging with you. Do yourself a favour, stop wasting your time here. Study the form or do something constructive with your day. Maybe go for a walk. Buy a dog. You're bored and have nothing better to do and are looking for a bit of attention. I do have better things to do.

Nobody in their right mind seriously believes that FAIL leagues of Ireland are anything but a permanently bankrupted, 5th rate, load of sh1te mostly (there are a lot of honourable exceptions, you're not one of them) supported by idiots who are bigotted against every other sport and even every other club within soccer.

The GAA dwarfs domestic soccer, rugby dwarfs domestic soccer. GAA club matches dwarfs domestic soccer. FAIL and it's leagues of Ireland has never ever done anything properly as long as I've been alive, from Jimmy the Greek to Milltown, they only waste money and if not for the admirable IRFU the FAI would be stuck in Dalymount and bankrupt. The rest of Ireland has dragged soccer along with it as best it can but it's still a joke organisation.

GL Rocketfingers/Workrider/Whatstheword.

See you spent the whole weekend, day and night on here talking shyte as usual workrider/rocketfingers. Also I see as usual you lost the argument in EVERY single little petty exchange of views you had with anybody who bothered to argue with you. When will you ever give up?

My Gawd Ricky is now saying GAA is a bigger game than Football, sorry dwarfs football Ricky do you understand the concept of size? Football is better game that has more players than the GAA has, both domestically and internationally. Not a hybrid parochial game that still does not have a proper set of rules.

Enjoy the world cup Ricky and remember to keep telling yourself there's not billions of people watching 'our' game around the world

Ricky answer the question please !!!!

yer bleedin rite, if yew add up all de sizes of de league shelters dey add up to more dan de capaticty of Semples Stadium. der are more people playin soccer in de parks of dis country rite now dan there are playin' F1 bleedin racin. derfore Irish soccer is better dan boat the GAA and de F1 put togeder.

the rules are bleedin' stupeh in GAA, i cant undersand them but den i'm not Arthur Einstein.

who carez about Croker Park, nobody goes der in anyways, only gets 50k about 10 times a year. only gets capaticy 5 times a year. it only teks the airtracey legues 2 season 2 get dat amount. bleedin' begrugders.

Well said whatstheword but don't forget to add that most of those time that Croker sees 50k plus crowd is when the national football team and Rugby lads are in town, the GAA won't have that anymore and that is why i believe they are offering stadium tours which my moles in the GAA tell me have been a disaster so far. People never heard of the GAA so we need to think how can we encourage outsiders to have an interest in the game, develop a proper set of rules, also try and make gaelic the number 1 played sport in Ireland again. If we are not playing it what should they You are really spelling out what a state the GAA is in, i am worried.

Workrider/rocketfingers the GAA as a spectacle must be in a pretty healthy state considering that you came on here on friday after the first match of the biggest tournament in the world debating which was better, Gaelic games or the world cup. As long as people, as you yourself do, hold it in that high regard its doing pretty well.

Also Workrider/rocketfingers  considering there was 3 WC games on yesterday and you spent all day and night on here talking about GAA just shows the level of interest it generates.

ye de GAA re bleedin lucky Dalyer is in sh1te or dey wudnt be getting 40 million bleedin euro out of soccer and egg chasin.

de tours are too bleedin expensive, be half me dole. the gaa are jammy bastards wit dat roof, be getting lods of reddies. not sure they cud do it in tallaght, the only ting theyd see be me bleedin council gaff and the bleedin m50. but we dont even own the kip in anyways.

i dont undersatnd the gaelics in anyways, handpassin, whats dat about? just put it on de ground and kick it. be easy. joke so it is.

daza i was not even here yesterday, i was out clamping GAA fans around Croker

Workrider/rocketfingers i'd say you have never been outside Tallaght in your life.

I'm not from Dublin ;)

Well Workrider/rocketfingers you have never been slow to tell us that you live in Tallaght.

Yawn boring me now and everyone else. GAA forever in our shadow.

FIFA

I know FIFA WC is really starting to bore the sh1t out of me too. Watched enough of that for today,only end up talking to a sad moron on an anomyous forum. GL

I tink it's bleedin' sad people clinging on 2 da Wurld Cup for a bi of self respect. Wat more do ya bleedin need den a day out in Tallagh with da boyz. 2000 madoutaffits on in da bus shelter. Bleedin great craic so it is. This Wurld Cup is bleedin sh1te. FIFA dont give a Michael Ballacks about the Ireland legues. Dont giv us de steam of their so they dont. Why shuld we give a sh1te about dem. SAd.

  well    you have to laugh .

Workrider all they have to do is just think about the word football or nowadays rugby and the bigot in them comes out for all to see.

Feeling very smug as i get ready for the next game

rocketfingers , you hit the nail on the head mate , biggest shower of bigots in the world imo ,according too their way of thinking if its not made or invented in ireland its worthless going to leave it alone for  few days  going to enjoy ascot and REAL FOOTBALL

Paraguay 2-1 for me.

ffs ricky you're on the wrong thread again having a sneak pre view were we 

Sorry to bring something factual into this discussion, but it was Albert, and not Arthur Einstein.

Do the GAA still have the rule that all boots, balls, jerseys, shorts, scoks, laces must be Irish made?  I think they had this rule.  In the EC is that legal? (if it still exists)

kincsem , they went mad when that crowd got the contract to build croke park  , lego

That game on Sunday must have been draining on each team but if you are allowed to bring on fresh legs to replace players that were sent off it gives that team an advantage. The rule should be changed and I know it has being there for years but it's not fair on the team that were the more disciplined.

Thank you Kerryman, i am glad to see a fellow fan of the sport finally agrees with me and that you are not bigoted to disagree just because i am a soccer fan as well like Ricky and Daza have just done.

i presume then that all yellow cards and tickings issued in normal time are rescinded when the game moves into extra time

the gaa , like been back in the school yard , most of their rules made on a whim imo

Kevin Nugent recovering in hospital after attack
Kevin Nugent
Kevin Nugent celebrating Armagh's All-Ireland Minor triumph

Kevin Nugent, one of the stars of the Armagh Minors All-Ireland winning team, is in hospital recovering from injuries sustained in a club game on Sunday.

Nugent underwent extensive surgery for injuries caused by the vicious assault during a Division One club game between Maghery and Cullaville.

The 19-year-old was knocked unconscious and suffered horrific facial damage.

Armagh's disciplinary authority, the CCC, is in the process of launching an investigation into the incident.

The attack, which occurred in the final moments of the game, caused damage which will prevent the teenager from chewing solid food for four months.

Nugent suffered a broken chin, broken jaw, split lower gum, and all his lower teeth were displaced and part of his lower jaw dislodged.

The CCC will seek to establish the facts surrounding the incident and quickly identify who was responsible.

and they call this butchery sport , should be banned and croker given over to rock concerts , fooking gaa animals imo.

What about Kaka's savage assault on the poor Ivory Coast player last night........barbaric.

gantoo 7 ,  gaa neanderthal of highest order

I can't believe this but i only found out that if a GAA game goes to extra time and you have been given a yellow card in the normal 70 minutes and you get another yellow card in extra time you are sent off . Do they make these rules up when they come from the pub? I thought Extra time was seen as a different game ???? Joke sport joke rules.

i was talking to a guy today and he remarked in passing that galway were now classed as a leinster county , please tell me this ain't true it cant be , can it ?

To be fair i was joking about the joke sport bit, but the rules are laughable at times. I suppose we will Gaaliban members coming on telling me how i am wrong about the yellow and red cards, i can't wait

Meath's demolition of Dublin in Sunday's Leinster SFC semi-final attracted more TV viewers than England's World Cup clash with Germany.

TV3 has revealed that 528,000 watched their coverage of Meath's 5-9 to 0-13 victory over their old rivals. By comparison, 400,000 watched Germany's 4-1 rout of England in Bloemfontein on RTE.

That's amazing. Congratulations to the GAA for not putting it on 2nd and taking
on the World Cup head on. Onwards and upwards this summer.

aftr the dublin meath game had finished only about 3,000 remained to watch the the next match ,   while 22,000,000, watched the  england v germany match    . galway have been reported as hoping to relocate to ulster and are awaiting gaa approval

22 million in Ireland?

PMSL. You're a clown.

fook me ricky even you know theres only so much one can take , it was  the mainland i was taking about . 22,000,000, in england alone how many more million watched in germany i dont know  , not to mention the rest of the world

ireland claims over 40,000,000.irish americans , ricky tell me why new york is the only city  in that great country that plays gaa to any sort of standard ? its ok i'll answer that for you ,its boring and kids of irish decent are emmbarrassed to play this backward game  .simple as that my man , they want nothing to do with it , dead in the water .

strangely silent is our ricky ? maybe its finally sinking in ?

Only an utter moron would say they've "moved" the county. Of course normal people understand the reason
behind it.

And nobody cares about your demented ramblings, if you genuinely wanted an answer I'd give you one but you don't.
I will say one thing though, the GAA in New York provides a social and support network for Irish immigrants and
has looked after them very well over there. It's a fantastic thing to have, of course you'll never understand
or experience it thankfully. The GAA in the US is the sporting wing of the Freemasons, the drinking arm of the Mafia.

Ricky, don't waste your time this with individuals carry on...........the banter is gone.......Any person who uses the death of a person to have a dig at any sport should not be tolerated.

poor fishing!

mainland..... wtf....... mainland? 22,000,000 people in mainland europe watched this match......wow that is impressive

"its boring" [sic} (should be it's)..... boring?..... have you watched the world cup..... YAWN. The meath/ dublin match from a neutral point of view was top class tv and a great spectacle - the triumph of the underdog and great sporting tv........... 95% of the world cup has been as much fun as watching repeats of the speaking clock...

ffs w@nkrider..... get a life

hey francie is francie bellew finished altogether now?he was a proper full back!

not at all --- the great man scored a goal in a club match for cross 2 weeks ago i belive...... 2 points down and francie gets a goal in injury time - legend that he is :)....

A ferocios competiter,one of the all time great full backs,if you got a score off francie you earned it!

Wrong yet again.

"Biggest event bar attendance". PMSL.


ha ha.... an i use this in the kilkennet stand up fesival next year.....

biggest ......   but please don't count attendance..............pmplay

It's beginning to make sense......I think workrider is Sepp Blatter.

ff, the mainland as we know it is , n.i.wales scotland england , figures are from bbc . i'm sure that other mainland you refer to i.e. western europe had more than that watching , around 1 billion watched world wide i'm told .

kk 05 , good to see your still around , think i'll reign myself in abit one or two on here are taking this to heart ? surely mr blatter has to resign , no other option open to him now after the recent debacles ? he really must have something on a few of them to have been allowed stay as president ffs .

Using your yardstick for quality Workrider, I presume you rate the Euovision as the Worlds greatest collection of songs with up to 600 million annual viewers.
Quantity does not relate to quality - Sheep Blatter more like!!

Leave my GAA friends alone....you have them in a frenzy! :(

I love the figure on TV the bigots have come out with workrider, surely it's just natural that 2 teams from other countries won't attract as much interest as the biggest county in Ireland playing live on TV. Imagine if Ireland had been in the world cup or some of the better teams even had played or it had been further into the competition

I suppose when your used to getting beat on viewing figure the smallest victory over the beautiful game seems like a time for wild celebration as per the Gaaliban here.

Hey GAA lads here is something for you lads the top programme on Irish tv going back for a few years.

rocketfingers you're too hard on them

kk 05 re frenzy , surely he has to go ? more money in this game than any other , yet he's still trying to hold out why ? it dont make sence imo . i hope some club thats knocked out of champions league takes them to court over  a disputed goal that'll wake them up .

I would have thought a lot of people would have been flicking through the channels on sunday.I was myself and while England performance and refereeing of the game was comical the Dublin/Meath game was still IMO more entertaining. The GAA is holding its own .

Done some research and the TV3's GAA figure was peak the RTE was average peak killed TV3 big time, imagine if it had been Ireland playing.

rocket , you naughty boy

GAA people all over the country on a high today with greyhounds getting an exemption from the greens/city dwellers attack on rural Ireland.
