The Hurling Thread

[Jukka]

You can't ban/limit the handpass and not ban swarm tackling. It's one of the greatest blights on the game.

Yep. It's similar to proposals to ban hand passing in football. Well intentioned, but in reality likely to reward swarming defensive play.

Proper order, it was a nonsense sending off. A coach showing passion at the end of a game where the result was up in the air. The GAA have far bigger problems than this regarding what’s happening on the field, throwing the ball, head high challenges etc.

An absolute joke the GAA not backing their officials, no wonder referees up and down the country get abused when there is zero sanction for those at the top.
Some example to be setting.

The GAA disciplinary process is just beyond a joke at this stage.

Absolutely, this was a prime chance for them to finally back a referee.

They neither have the bottle or the understanding of the damage they are doing, Cahill was clearly out of order and should have been made an example.

Abuse of referees is a huge national issue and this type of nonsense clearly demonstrates the Wild West exists in the gaaaaa disciplinary wise.
The crap that refs from juvenile up in gaa is absolutely reprehensible and a reason the standard of reffing is where it is
