It went from a propelling game to a possession game.
The rules didn't evolve to deal with this and refs letting "possessors" do what they like when they have the ball doesn't help either.

However I doubt teams are going to revert to kicking the ball as far as you can and hope your team mate up the field can win it.

Do we need to put more *restrictions on possession or bring in a tackle on the man who has to release the ball when tackled?

* limit the amount of playing it to yourself like the 2 handling rule in hurling?
Restrict handpassing?

Aye and a few  million quid!

But  nobody  seemed to address that bit on TSG

Are we back to the "lazy volunteers" argument again....?

Many in Portlaoise yesterday and today?

The one game that might have filled Portlaoise played in Croke Park.

The other Counties should surely have home and away arrangements so that 1 set of supporters wouldn't have to travel.

Heard bits of radio commentary.
Was close for about 45 minutes then Offaly rattled in a few scores, including 2 goals, in a short time.
A number of the AI winning u20s from 2021 were prominent.

Maybe like late 70s/early 80s Offaly will again rise to end the Dublin's dominance?

PS I hear Offaly missed some goal chances in the 1st half so could have been a bigger victory.

1st straight to Final
2nd and 3rd play a semi final.
An awful evening with rain and a cross wind which made any kind of good football near impossible.
Our lads fought to the end and deserved the late equaliser.
Even allowing for the conditions I doubt if either team will be troubling Jarlath with a trophy presentation.

Helps to have good defenders in front of you!

Quote from: SouthOfThe Bann on April 09, 2024, 10:15:17 PMCan somebody answer me this.

Does the provincial winners follow the same rota as before the group stages were introduced.



Or is it open draw in this new system?

See Rule 6.12.(v) ;)
