GAA fans have been left divided after Conor Glass was penalised for an AFL-style catch.
Known as a "screamer" or a "specky" the take usually involves the ball-catcher jumping up on the back of their opposition player.
This is exactly what Glass was penalised for when Glen beat Monaghan side Scotstown to progress to the AIB Ulster Club Championship semi-finals.
The ex-Aussie rules player obviously wasn't happy with the referee awarded a free the other way, taking to twitter to give his thoughts.
He tweeted: "Big grey area in GAA. The rulebook states “To charge an opponent in the back or to the front”. IMO the action of taking a ‘specky’ is not deemed a charge. We are taught to jump with the knee up & if the opposition is standing under the ball then it is at his own risk.
"The GAA introduced the mark to bring back the art of high catching but if players are going to get penalised for doing so then it defeats the purpose."
The GAA world reacted to the post, with many divided on the issue.
@Bernetza said: "Your knee was on the opponent’s neck - so possible dangerous play - otherwise I wouldn’t see a foul there. Unreal to watch though."
Another user tweeted: "You used your knee to push off the player and give yourself a boost. It’s no different to putting your hand on his shoulder to boost yourself and keep him down. Gives the opposition no opportunity to challenge for the ball. Also dangerous"
Some fans believed the catch was legal with it being described as "elegant".
@shanetcurran said: "There’s no grey area there, top class fetch, tremendous technique, exactly how GK’s should attack a ball in the air. Great to see such incredible fielding. Reminiscent of O ‘Shea & Mullins in their prime. Top Class from Conor Glass."
Glass spent five years down under as a Hawthorn player in the AFL, but is one of many players who have made the switch over the years so it is an area the GAA may address in the future.
