GAA 2024

On one of them i thought i was tracking the ball against the backdrop of the crowd. Turned out i was tracking a pigeon/bird.
Great game though. Gotta be superfit to play this.

It's lacrosse for real men. Blindingly fast, impossible to catch the ball with that stick but they do it anyway, no pads.

Getting into this but its either my eyes or impossible to track the ball on these long range efforts.

Imagine trying to be a ref! The pitch is 145 x 88m. He has two linesmen and there are two umpires behind each goal.

15 players a side.

This lad having a good match so far in fairness to him.

 

[Neiler]

Game for the ages this.

 

[Bluerover]

Clare by 2 with 8 minutes plus. Hawkeye Computerised technology....not VAR !!,) ruled that one wide although umpire had signalled a point.

 

[Bluerover]

The poor ref being treated after running into a player's helmet Helmets to be made compulsory for refs next ???

 

[Neiler]

Big call this.

 

[Neiler]

Be a big talking point that call!

 

[Neiler]

One point game!

 

[Bluerover]

Clare lucky to escape black card there but now 2 in it. There will be added time certainly. In last minute of normal.

Only one point in it now. Flipping heck

 

[Neiler]

Cork turnover

 

[Neiler]

What a finish to this.

 

[Neiler]

Draw game, 2 mins to go!

 

[Bluerover]

Clare lucky to escape black card there but now 2 in it. There will be added time certainly. In last minute of normal.

Only one point in it now. Flipping heck

For newcomers a black card would have meant 10 minutes of sin bin.

1 point with 3 minute additional time.

Sides now level!!!

 

[Neiler]

Clare that the lead, Cork hit an awful wide!

 

[Bluerover]

Now Clare by one and Cork hit a wide.
