I heard on Radio 1 this evening that both games will throw-in at 1.30pm

But there was no mention of any kick-off time so I can't help you there

Clearly, he's on the wrong thread and is talking about the Galway United game....

Any word of a kickoff time for the Galway game? Likely to be 1.30 is it?

It was just a pre-season friendly tournament.

I though a '45' shootout was the chosen means of splitting teams in these circumstances.

So did I until yesterday, and cannot see why that wasn`t the case.

Still, I`m sure it will find favour with some of our media "experts" who will not be happy until they turn the game into a namby pamby soccer sister sport.

In the very early days of MSL c1996 they tried it but soon abandoned it.

I remember in Robbie Keane's time at Inter, they had a penalty shootout where the attacker was given the ball on half way line and ran with it down to goal in a 1 on 1 situation. That would be good for Gaelic. Imagine the rows it would cause if some lad fouled the ball as he ran towards goal!

It would be certainly more fitting imo. I'm surprised the GAA has went "soccerstyle" on it.

I would be in favour of him apologising if whoever came up with the brain fart of a penalty shoot out does the same.

Completely different situation

Players con the reff all time with dives and going down easy for soft frees.
It's unsavoury yes, but unfortunately part of the game.

But in this case the Letrim player was given a punishment by the referee and decided to ignore it

Well if that is the case then he should at least apologise and admit that it was not on the spirit of the game.

And add something like 'and hey kids stay in school and say no to drugs'

Cos he ain't sending a good message with what he did.

I know it's January and the FBD but I'm sure it could happen in a more important game too.

From listening to radio coverage that there was a subsequent public announcement that points would not count, I thought I had accidentally tuned into an episode of The Twilight Zone

According to Mr Prenty he was passed the ball as he was walking off and he passed it on.

Was it true that the player was walking off the field and then just decided to become involved in the play again when the opportunity arose?

If that's the case then he should be at least called out for his blatant disregard for the rules of the game and the authority of the ref.

Don't see any issue with those club awards. They have been in Galway for some years now. And it rewards players who might not play county for whatever reason. For example, in Galway, Kieran Fitzgerald made the club team of year a few times many years after he finished with county. Alan O'Donovan is another example from Corofin - not quite good enough to be on the county panel but a regular top scorer in club championship for years. I am not sure if the awards were around as far back as then but he is exactly the type of guy that gets rewarded with these kind of awards. Also, as a regular attendee at club matches, I love reading who makes those teams to see if I agree with them. I really dont see anything negative about them at all.

Hurling ones on tonight in Kilbeacanty in fact.

Fair enough, enjoy the night anyway. Just giving my opinion and doubt if I'm alone. The backslapping and fashion parade should be a sight to behold.

Lord above. Such bitchiness !

Someone bitter at getting dumped down to Junior B when the local hotshot nippy corner forward finished his Leaving? Or was the girlfriend a victim of his devilish charm while you were working the evening shift in the butchers?
