Cork Hurlers - Part 2

[JimmyBarrySmurph]

Read the second part of the post, that's what the rule is actually there for.

I’m aware why the rule was brought in.
I’m fully aware of the rule itself and its wording which includes that play is not stopped to treat an injured player on the field anymore, but only in exceptional circumstances when a player is seriously injured on the field and requires treatment on the field and help to get off the field.
I’d like clarity on what that is in practical terms. It’s open to interpretation. To me it reads like play is only stopped to treat a really badly injured player and assist him off the field, the type of injury where walking unassisted isnt possible.

Hard to believe Donal couldn't get a stand ticket....

I'm sure he could if he wanted one.

Donal, Meyler et al all usually in the terrace. Very good view of the game from there.

And they aren’t trapped. They can move away if they are getting grief.
I heard a good one today about yesterday.
At full time whistle yesterday a Clare supporter turned to a Cork supporter and says “so what concerts have ye on here for the summer?”
Funny in fairness.

Which was the case yesterday, two men helped Tim off the field at the closest endline.

Which was the case yesterday, two men helped Tim off the field at the closest endline.

Does anyone have actual clarity on the rule?
Why wasn’t the play stopped under the new rule? Is it that he wasn’t injured to a level that he couldn’t walk off the field himself?

Might have been the Limerick guy.

It was a serious Injury that required Tim to leave the pitch, that rule was brought in to allow refs to be harsher on time wasting, James Owens knew Tim wasn't time wasting but yet kept playing.

Cramp isn't a serious injury.

And people need to also shut up about how Pa Collins pucked the ball out with Tim on the ground.

If he had refused to puck it out, Owen’s would’ve ran in took the ball off him and thrown it in on the 21 for a 50/50, whilst Tim would still be on the ground.

The only person to blame for that cock up is James Owen’s

That may be so but can you imagine how that would look with a potentially seriously injured player lying flat on the pitch.

I don't think anybody knew the extent of the" injury " then.

Should the ref insisted on play continuing when Peter Casey was injured ? I don't think referees can take risks with players health.
I don't think that players pretending to be injured is a major problem in GAA.

I was at the game and didn't know what the injury was.
James Owens MD.

Comrade, there is no war in the Cork senior hurling championship in well over a decade.. not even a battle.. it’s A Tippy tappy Free Fest

From memory, this team has showed "war" against waterford down in Waterford in 2022.

Also in 2021 v Kilkenny

Few and far between though, I agree
