"some difference in attitude of the players between hurling and football. genuinely brilliant yesterday" If football matches were allowed to flow in the way hurling is then we might have some epic football matches as well. We've sanitised football in a way that has never been done with hurling. One of the problems with football nowadays is that players get frees for almost any physical contact so it's often exploited by lads diving to get the free. If there was nothing to be gained from diving then fellas wouldn't do it. Likewise, if the physical contact element was removed from hurling in the way it's been removed from football then you'd have some hurlers diving as well. | |||

Ball is constantly been over carried and thrown. " Oh yes, but those things, particularly the over carrying, can't be criticised. The throw is very difficult to judge. I'd safely say at least 60% of handpasses are at least questionable. I've seen and heard debate over Tony Kelly's 7/8 steps before he scored the goal and the consensus from the pundits is basically "how dare you criticise such a great score". Fair enough, it was a great score but if the rules were being implemented it would have been a free out. The result would probably be the same anyway as if the ref was picking up on things like that, he'd likely have picked up on twenty other things as well. These things usually balance out over the course of a game. My own opinion is that either the rules should be applied in hurling or else football referees should be allowed to pick and choose what rules they want to implement as well. | |||

" refs are just mostly leaving the steps go in hurling. Handpass rule is it has to be a clear separation and striking action. If it looks a throw to the naked eye then it is but refs ignoring this also. Wonderful game Sunday but just that rules are been ignored. | |||

It really happens in a split second. Even the steps, I can forgive a ref once it's not taking the piss. What annoys me though is pundits suggesting that certain rules don't matter, and basically, if you're counting steps you're looking at the wrong thing. | |||
