(L-R) Paddy Tally, Down GAA Manager alongside Jimmy Darragh, Provincial Games Manager, Ulster GAA, Damian Bannon, Belfast Area Manager, Translink and Oliver Galligan, President, Ulster GAA launching the 2019 Ulster GAA Coach of the Year Awards.

Down Football Manager, Paddy Tally, joined Ulster GAA and Translink representatives at St Mary’s University College, Belfast this week to officially launch the 2019 Coach of the Year Awards.

Now in its third year, the initiative celebrates the work carried out by volunteer club coaches and managers across the province, recognising their outstanding contribution to Gaelic games and local communities here. The awards are free to enter and club coaches from across every code and level in Ulster are eligible.

Players, parents, committee members and supporters have until 6 November to put forward their entry. Following public nominations, a panel of experts including Paddy Tally and Irish News Sports Columnist, Neil Loughran will select one finalist from each county to go forward to a public vote.

The overall winner will be announced at the Ulster Football Senior Club Championship Final and will receive a specially commissioned kit for themselves, and free coach travel for their team, courtesy of Translink.

Encouraging everyone to get nominating, Damian Bannon, Belfast Area Manager, Translink, said:

“Translink launched the Coach of the Year initiative in 2017, alongside our partners Ulster GAA, to recognise the efforts of volunteer coaches throughout many communities here. Each year we receive thousands of nominations and votes, and our sponsorship of this programme has given us the opportunity to see first-hand the great work many coaches do on a daily basis.” Unicode converter downloads download.

Launching the awards, competition judge, Paddy Tally added:

“Volunteer coaches are the back-bone of GAA clubs across the country. The sport that we know, and love, would not be the same if they didn’t dedicate the hours they do. As a manager myself, I’m delighted to be involved and encourage people from every county in Ulster to put forward a person they think is deserving of the accolade before 6 November.”

Nominations close at 11.59pm 6 November 2019.

Gaelic Games Ps2

Considering Maastricht and former referee Paddy Collins via his St Loman’s club are responsible for half of them, it’s a pretty dismal figure. Admittedly, the Hurling 2020 committee and the Football Review Committee two years ago will have addressed some concerns but does their relative silence mean the games are in rude health?

Have all necessary changes been made to football and hurling? Hardly.

Here we provide 10 playing rule motions which we believe would make a positive impact:

1. Establish substitutes as official stoppages — Even if the clock/hooter doesn’t see the light of day, the referee should be given the authority to stop his watch to allow for the time spent making replacements. Soccer has many faults but at least they accommodate subs in their time-keeping. The standard “at least two minutes of additional time” in Gaelic games doesn’t tally with the time spent making interchanges. When it comes down to it, don’t we want to see more of the ball in play?

2. Ban the fisted point — One of the unsung improvements to hurling was banning the handpass score. If the GAA want to make a statement about putting the foot back into football, preventing players from using their fist to score a point would hit the right note.

3. Increase the amount of steps in hurling to five or six — An increase would at least be more realistic than the current four which referees readily ignore. Look at this past weekend, for example: Shane O’Donnell’s point for Clare (eight steps), Eamonn Dillon’s first point for Dublin (six), Waterford’s Noel Connors clearing his lines in the second half (seven). There are plenty more infringements. To the 18% of respondents who supported five steps in the Hurling 2020 survey, we salute you.

4. Get rid of football’s pick-up — Mick O’Dwyer’s long-held view should be given greater consideration. It isn’t so much a skill now as a hollow, perfunctory act, which leaves players open to fouls.

Hurling

5. Say yes to invisible spray — Gaelic games has long passed the point where it was insecure about incorporating best practice from other sports. It can lead (Hawk-Eye) but it can also follow. Invisible spray wouldn’t so much be a deterrent for defending teams but the attacking one as they steal yards, be it from frees or sidelines.

September . 6. Make normal time red cards count in extra-time — So yellow and black cards picked up in regulation time carry into extra-time and yet a red card doesn’t in the sense a team can return to their full complement?

The inconsistency is perplexing. On one hand, we’re told extra-time is a new game; on the other we’re not.

7. Give the tackle a proper definition — Kieran Donaghy’s shuddering shoulder charge on Sunday shows Gaelic football can be legitimately physical but there is still too much grey area around the tackle which is defined as aimed at the ball, not the player. What exactly is a shoulder charge then?

8. Put a time limit on blood substitutions — The rule’s heart is in the right place, as is the forthcoming motion calling for a concussion replacement following along similar lines. But at this stage it has been bent so much that it is crying out to be amended.

9. Fully apply the free-taking rule in hurling — According to the Official Guide, a free may be struck on the ground or by lifting the ball with the hurley at the first attempt and striking it with the hurley.

Mossberg 500 serial number. Some may call it evolution, others something else but nowhere does it say that the free-taker can balance the ball on the hurley before striking.

Nowhere does it say the free-taker can’t either but when frees have never been easier to score administering the rule as was intended (ie lift and jab) would establish a fairer environment and stop some stealing yards.

10. Extend the scope of the black card — We list this last as refs are yet to master getting current black card offences right. But if and when they do, there are other cynical fouls that should fall under the category of black card, such as a pullback even if the attacking player hasn’t grounded.

Ditching hooter would be a serious blow

Just as disappointing as confirmation that Clare’s motion for all televised championship games to be made free-to-air won’t be voted on at Congress was news that Central Council will attempt to ditch the clock/hooter on Saturday week. Some of the reservations outlined in the report from the second trial are thin. Human error is listed as the first concern. It was also human error that saw David Gough blow the final whistle seconds early than the three minutes he had allocated in Portlaoise on Sunday (both our and TG4’s clocks showed he was short by five seconds). It was also human error behind the Hawk-Eye cock-up in 2013 yet it’s now fully endorsed by Central Council. System failure is also cited. That could also apply to a referee’s watch or floodlights. Negative possession was another. “Keep ball” is hardly that unpretty on the eye — look at how Kerry whittled down Dublin with an array of hand-passes to seal their win in the 2007 All-Ireland semi-final.

Besides, such a tactic will encourage the trailing team to press up on their opponents.

GAA’s Director of Games’ Administration Feargal McGill also mentions the problem of overanalysis regarding how long it takes players to take frees and kick/puck-outs. That is already a factor. Stephen Cluxton’s frees and 45s are constantly monitored and debated. Central Council will require two-thirds of delegates to put the clock/hooter out to pasture. It’s far from perfect. The fact substitutions aren’t considered stoppages is a shortcoming. That doesn’t mean it should be a dead duck either.

Don’t be fooled by a February flourish

We’ll pass up the opportunity to make any judgments on the weekend’s hurling action. It hasn’t anything to do with all three of our Division 1A predictions going awry, although that did hurt a little.

Paddy Tally Gaelic Games 2018

No, the first hurling weekend of the year doesn’t provide enough evidence to establish facts. Yes, the portents of Dublin’s poor 2014 season and Tipperary’s the year before it were there first day out but only in hindsight.

There is more compelling proof that February isn’t a month to be nailing colours to the mast. Last year, the three teams that lost in round one won their following games.

In 2013, none of the six teams had 100% after two matches. That same season, Clare won an All-Ireland title having finished bottom of Division 1A.

Much like football, the powder should be kept dry until mid-March at the earliest.
