Video Evidence in GAA

Brendog

Should video evidence be brought in to GAA after Meath steals Louths chance to be Leinster champs?

more importantly how shocking was it to see the referee attacked after the game??

Louth not only lose... but are now seen as savages

very much agree with that. surprised he allowed the goal at all. i'd hope they might have a replay which would be fairer to deal with that last minute situtation. very stunned how the referee was treated.

Absolutely.The lack of consitency in gaa refering ,especially when it comes to goals, is really turning me off the sport.

Absolute disgarce that Meath were awarded that goal,this type of thing happens again and again. The GAA MUST be dragged into the 21st century after this game and use video. Its worked wonders for rugby, and noone feels cheated at the end of a game.

No need for video tech being added as a change in rules.. semi-competent umpires would do

The GAA uses video evidence to give suspensions to players. The ref consulted an official nearest the area- the umpire who gave the goal. Even if there was in game video reffing i doubt the ref wouldve used the facility in that case

I dont think video or cctv should be brought into the game. in the incident today the umpires should of got it correct. They are there to help assist the ref and they got it wrong. As for the arguement about a replay I cant see it happening. Not after the cup being awarded to meath. Louth missed a few perfectly good chances to close out the game and the fans although rightly p1ssed did not do their case any good by tackling the ref.

But as we don't seem to have any, video tech is probably needed.

For goals I think it needs video tech, because there doesnt seem to be a consensus among ref's and umpires what is and isn't a sqaure ball.

I agree there should be some sort of reply system,but to introduce such a system,video screens would have to be installed in grounds all over the country in the interest of fairness. I dont see the GAA doing that.

Well they lost, and then acted like savages....??!!!

Hopefully, they will use the video evidence to ban the "fans" that attacked the ref.

You'd wonder how the GAA would need video evidence with two umpires on the goal line. How the three officials can give the goal at the end is truly just amazing. I'm shocked and speechless at the events. Totally ruined the win for me.

I dunno how systems are set up in other countries but I highly doubt that if video systems were brought into the GAA that it would have to be installed in all pitches that host matches included in tournaments

Seen as savages? If that happened Dublin the referee would have been gunned down in a hail of bullets :eek:

no. too much happens in gaa to use video refs. normally, even the video evidence cant tell the full picture and peoples opinions are split.

what we do need is f8cking umpires and lines men being refs themselves and not just the refs uncle, 70 year old neighbour or father in law...

No you wouldnt need to install it in every single gaa ground. You just need it in the major stadiums,like the IRFU did. Thats only three stadiums in Munster and 2 in Leinster etc.

It would be so simple to have a ref sitting in a similar setup to the RTE studio - he could look at a replay in seconds and relay necessary info to a ref through an earpiece with no need to stop the game for prolonged periods like in rugby.

It should definitely be done for games where cameras are already in the grounds imo.

Video replays are needed without a shadow of a doubt.

There's too much to lose and human umpires/refs can't be trusted.

Cork just given a point for a clear wide in the Munster Final as well - jokeshop tbh.

Just watching Cork and Waterford, I thought a shot was wide, commentators thought it was wide, umpire on the post didn't give it but the the umpire further away from it did. Great system eh?

tracy wacy x

don't think they should bring in video tech
they should get rid of them f**kin blind umpires

i think any team woud act that way after the match

like meath have ruined louth chance

they should be ashamed

stupid ref :mad:

stupid umpires :rolleyes:

So the Connaught final shouldn't have video replays so?

Of course but it's alot alot more that 3 in Munster and 2 in Leinster. Championship games in Munster can take place in any of 5 or 6 venues.

the only reason there should be video evidence from the football game today would be to ask the umpires why they allowed the goal.

keane2097

Of course if the umpires always made the correct decisions we wouldn't need steps like these, but you have to be realistic.

In GAA games, the officials make a very high percentage of incorrect decisions. This has not improved over the years, and there is no reason to suggest it will improve.

Video technology could and should be used where available to help officials make correct decisions very quickly and easily, it seems very simple to me.

Video technology - if a professional organisation like FIFA won't bring it in, I don't see how the GAA will. It will cost too much!

What we need is to train referees, linesmen, and umpires properly. Make the refs professional or semi professional - pay them all properly and train them properly. Not enough is done to get referees to the top level - and this thing about having only that small panel of refs for inter county is ridiculous!

1. Video evidence is used in the GAA

2. The attacks on the referee should result in prison sentences , lifetime bans from all sporting fixtures and large fines or witholding of social welfare payments

3. Louth didnt lose the game as a result of the last minute 'goal' they lost the game by not killing Meath off when they had their chance.

It would cost next to nothing to implement in grounds where cameras are already present - the price of a tv monitor and an earpiece.

It doesn't matter how highly trained the officials are, they will invariably make mistakes.

Video replays are the only way to accurately assess the most difficult of decisions.

In games that are being televised anyway this would be trivially easy to implement.

Do you honestly think the GAA will bring it in, even though you make it sound so easy? I think if the refs etc were trained properly then there would be fewer incidents.

As stated in the Louth Thread, 1 or 2 prats don't deserve to see louth missing out on a Championship that they deserve.
I and the rest of our supporters were shocked by thier behaviour and would love to see then charged with assualt.

Possibly. In many ways I think the GAA are actually more progressive than FIFA.

I really do think it would be super-easy to put an official upstairs with access to the RTE/TV3 footage. He would be able to see a replay of any incident in seconds, relay the necessary info to the ref through an earpiece on the fly - the game wouldn't even have to be stopped in most instances.

Yeah of course that's true, but when you ultimately rely on human decisions, you're going to get human error. If you can irradicate this to a large extent, you really ought to try to do so imo.
