agreed, it is really helpful to have a few people who know the rules giving/tips advice during the course of the game when a particular situation develops.....all we need now are a few whistles to really hammer home the rules

one thing i want to know is what happens if a person is tagged at the same time as they are releasing the ball???

Sorry for jumping on this. Play a bit of tag with one team in St.Marys. In Spring league at te moment but managed to pull a hamstring so out for a while. I've played in corinthians once or twice filling in for missing people on other teams.

It really is the refs call on whether the ball has left the hands of the passer before the tag was pulled.
Depending on a lot of variables the ref will either call "ball away" in which case play continues or he will call the tag.
Its a tough one to call for refs and can sometimes lead to disputes, which are pointless as the ref isnt gonna overturn their decision.

Anytime, I even noticed you trying a behind the back reverse throw!! Can't beat abit of showboating!!

Well I don't know about that. Almost as soon as I did it I realised I probably shouldn't have

. I'll have to drill it into my head not to do that along with not moving forward when I pass the ball!

I'm open to correction on this but I'd assume it's down to the referee to establish whether the ball had been released before or after the tag was made. Play to the whistle and, if in doubt, tag them again just to make sure!

It's very much down to the ref and how much attention and leniency they're showing. Best course of action is to play the whistle and if it doesn't work out, start insulting the ref's sainted mother.

Yes, can't stress the importance of this enough, we got so many calls in our favour from using this tactic last year. It's bullet proof.

Ms. Ka · 24-04-2009 3:20pm

I was completely unaware that there was such fancy throwing going on the other team

please see attached images for t-shirt and choose one, preferably by the end of the day.

PopeBuckfastXVI · 24-04-2009 3:56pm

blue & white ftw!

I was curious as what the general ruling was to abusing the ref, glad we got that sorted

Tag shorts arrived this morning too, I'm good to go!!

Blue and White t-shirts!!

Robbo · 24-04-2009 4:33pm

Another vote for blue/white shirts. We may need a backup plan though as blue is a pretty common colour.

I think the white on blue is much nicer.
Also, putting my pedantic hat on for a minute, shouldn't there be a second apostrophe in there after the 'n' in "talkin"?

That's a good point. Any suggestions? Would it be easiest just to pick up cheap plain white/red/whatever colour t-shirts in Dunnes Stores or something?

Nathan251 · 24-04-2009 4:42pm

ya blue and white look good, let me know the cost Miss ka and i'll give you the cash

15 of them, 8 large and 7 medium sounds about right

if we clash with the other team i guess we could all bring a top of our own (agree on colour) just in case

PopeBuckfastXVI · 24-04-2009 6:09pm

I don't know that you need 'away' colours.

It's not like soccer where we'd be mostly mixed up with the other players. You tend to have one team down one end and the other down the other. If you pass backward and an opposition player is behind you then that means they are offside and you get a penalty.

I wouldn't worry about it for now anyway

That's a good point. Looking at some of the Tag Rugby videos on YouTube, there's often a colour clash but given that teams are split strictly in front of or behind the ball it probably isn't a problem for the players.

When did we say we'd train again? Completely slipped my mind.

fifib · 27-04-2009 11:18am

here ya go...

For those who couldn't make it, from now until the season start we will be training Mondays and Thursdays at 18:30 in Renmore, across from the Church.

Malice · 27-04-2009 11:39am

Fingers crossed the weather is a bit better this evening compared to Thursday. Of course, this being Ireland I'm not going to get too optimistic

So does that mean you'll be saving your running for the hockey game?

Ah no, I'll bring my A game to tag and hope I get a second wind up in daingean later on!

Nathan251 · 27-04-2009 2:01pm

depending on how much work i get done in the next few hours i will/will not be able to make it tonight for 6.30pm, to be honest it's not looking good at the moment (and I have all the tags!!! on that note maybe it's better in future for people to keep a hold of their own tags in case I don't make it)

if i don't make it i'll see you all on thursday, any idea on numbers for tonight/t-shirts/is jugs82 and new girl going to be there?????

PopeBuckfastXVI · 27-04-2009 2:04pm

Nathan,

Whereabouts in the city are you working... do you have the tags with you? Maybe someone could collect them before training?

chrussell · 27-04-2009 2:11pm

Yeah I don't think it'd be ideal not to train without tags.... I'll be able to collect them I'm around all day

Nathan251 · 27-04-2009 2:19pm

I work in HP but the tags are in my apartment, if you guys just do some running/throwing until about 7pm, i'll try to hopefully make it by then and after that you can hold onto the tags in case i am late again (which happens a lot unfortunately)

Casshern88 · 27-04-2009 3:20pm

Meant to post this earlier but anyway is it to late to start this week (this evening) if i missed last weeks training? is there still places on any teams

chrussell · 28-04-2009 2:14pm

Good training last night! I tried to tag one of the girls and bent my finger back, its swollen like a b*stard now, hoping it goes down soon

Well, we've only entered one team. I'm not exactly sure how we're fixed for players. Best bet is to see what Nathan (the captain) says.

Ouch, looks like there were a few injuries last night, hope everyone's okay for Thursday!

I did the same thing with another tag team - I'm icing my finger then putting it in hot water as much as I can. Swelling is going down quickly, but my have broken it...

Any idea how to prevent such a thing from happening again? finger guards???
