Yep indeed he's spot on. i suggested prior to league final that we should be resting lads and also giving fellas game time. Promotion was achieved ... what was coming next - championship- was more important

Yes indeed, where was Monaghan kick from, outside 21? doesn't make sense. The 40M arc should actually continue to 14 anyway.

Thank you for clarification

Thank you for clarification

Both were absolutely outstanding kicks. And Stephen had a difficult varying wind to judge. In both cases it looks like that the ball had "broken-the-line" before it was kicked, i.e. all of the ball was not outside the line when it was kicked. But the rule is massively unspecific in that regard as far as I read it (is there more specific ref guidance I wonder), and I am glad both were allowed 'cos the closeness of the wire to the sideline means that a kicker can't otherwise get enough momentum behind the kick.

On our breach vs their breach — surely a breach is a breach? How can the ref know intent?

Is it that the Kerry fella just stuck a toe over the half way line?







The Rule (as of 2026):

• Attack: A team must keep at least three outfield players in the opponents' half of the field at all times.
• Defense: A team must keep at least four players in their own defensive half (which can include the goalkeeper).
• Application: This applies even if a team is reduced in numbers (e.g., due to a red or black card). [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

What Constitutes a Breach?
A breach occurs when a player crosses the halfway line while carrying, receiving, or attempting to intercept the ball, causing their team to fall below the required number in either half. [1, 2, 3]

• Penalty: A free kick is awarded to the opposing team on the halfway line, or where the player crossed.
• Intentional Breach: If a team deliberately fails to keep three players in the opposition's half, a free kick is awarded on the 20-metre line.
• Two-Point Option: For intentional breaches, the free kick can be brought outside the 40m arc for a potential two-point attempt. [1, 2, 3, 4]

Exceptions to the Rule:
There is no breach if a player: [1, 2, 3]

• Causes the infraction unintentionally.
• Is within 4 meters of the halfway line.
• Is not interfering with play or an opponent.
• Is not gaining a tactical advantage

Even FitzMaurice said SS deserved two points for that - they should change the rule to all sidelines being worth two

Thinking of unintended consequences however & It would put more pressure on all kick outs as loads of keepers (& Patrick Doyle) fancy picking out a lad right on the sideline & it often goes out

Imagine then it getting returned back for two! But what a skill

Very good analysis but it will be like water off a duck's back when it's Cleary and Walsh in charge. The decision to play with the wind in the first half was daft.

Can we get Martin O Neil to take over
