Allocation of injury-time gone beyond a joke

For an organisation that loves to nit-pick at the smallest details, it’s amazing how long some utterly stupid rules and regulations are allowed to exist in the GAA.

The square ball is a classic example. Virtually impossible to judge accurately, this absurd rule remained lodged in the Official Guide until last year.

Flagrantly abused during club games, and poorly implemented at county level, the square ball provoked more rancour in an ordinary week than the black card will create in a decade.
