McKay carrying a knock I think, wouldn't have minded if Campbell/Murnin/Grugan/Forker seen little or no league football, keep the bodies right for the business end. Would Fergal O'Brien not be a defender?

Another one of them

What is the actual point here lads..

If I had the chance to decide The round 1 fixtures in terms of entertainment, these would be the exact 4 fixtures I'd choose. Galway vs Armagh- a repeat of the all Ireland final with both fancying to be up there again come the end of the season.

Tyrone vs Derry - 2 new managers with orourke winning an all Ireland with a Derry club and paddy tally being a Tyrone man and playing a huge part in Tyrone winning their first Sam managing Derry.

Dublin vs Mayo - good historic rival with both teams being in a bit of a transition.

Kerry vs Dublin - many see the 2 of them as favourites for Sam this year. Plus be interesting to see Murphy and Clifford with these new rules.

Dublin fielding 2 teams now?

Getting wild enough here now. Stay safe everyone.

Will any rule be dropped after the first 2 Rounds of NFL?

No. As per Jim Gavin on The GAA Social this week

Possible later in the league but unlikely he reckons. The handing the ball back needs to go immediately.

See we're giving a good few lads chances that would have been in and around the squad last year but not played much, both in the 15 and 26.

Still plenty of quality there and be interesting to see how the new lads go, few big hitters to come back yet.

Good win, lovely finish for the equaliser and poor from Maguire, great pass from Martinez and finish from Bruno to win it.

Sitting nicely now going into the last round.

Surely they can beat this shower of bastards..

TBF Rangers were probably thinking the exact same thing beforehand 

Rangers fans and thinking? Hmm..

Surely they can beat this shower of bastards..

i was talking to a neighbour here and she said she doesn't understand why it's not being said - it's a hurricane coming.

Why is she calling it a hurricane if the weather forecasters aren't?

In fairness I don't think Kilcoo appointing Gallagher makes Jarlath look any more foolish than he already did.

As long as he is consistent and contacts Kilcoo in the same way he did Naas. Kilcoo less likely to change their mind though.

Rumours have Rory Gallagher heading to Kilcoo. They will take no heed to a Jarlath Burns intervention.

Is Lacey stepping away? Would have thought he'd give it another year. Weren't far off Ulster considering they had a man sent off and players not fully fit

Maybe Gallagher only in as a coach.

They'll push for an All Ireland with him in charge. Kilcoo will tell Jarlath where to stick his email.

Red weather warning for the north issued tomorrow from 7 in the morning to 2 in the afternoon.

First ever red warning for the North I read?

Are the four steps before the solo actually four steps though? Or the 6-10 steps players are habitually allowed in open play. Can the player be tackled in the four steps before he takes his solo.

Cannot be challenged for 4 metres. How that will be measured I don't know.

Interesting clip going around from a challenge match last week between Cork and Cavan. Cavan got a goal after a player, rather than perform "solo and go" instead "went and then soloed".

Ref apparently didn't have a clue but subsequently the FRC have clarified that this is legal, and the player can take the usual four steps before a solo as part of "solo and go" rather than have to take a solo in the style of a rugby "tap and go".

Making it up as they go along.

"Previously, a player could not take a free without the referee's permission. Now however, a player who is
fouled can solo (Toe-Tap) immediately, within 4m of where the foul occurred, and continue to attack. If
they solo & go they cannot be challenged for 4m. A solo & go is not permitted inside the opponent's 20m
line. Any player can avail of the solo & go, it is not confined to the player who was fouled. However, the solo
& go must be done instantly and in either a forwards or sideways direction."

Clear as mud.
