Some of the rhetoric after the penalty shootout is ridiculous e.g.
- Penalties are completely alien to Gaelic footballers
- Penalties are borrowed from soccer

Do people not realise there are penalties already in Gaelic football when the ref blows for a foul within the large parallelogram?

There were penalties in Gaelic Football before there were penalties in soccer.
Also, the idea of penalties in soccer came from Ireland.

Try that one again.

A game of 7s where first to 2 or 3 goals wins it.

In true reality TV fashion, a public vote on who they think are deserving winners. Participating counties can't vote.
After all, everyone on the message board is right, so the public would also be right  ;) ;) ;) ;D

Nothing wrong with penalties in my mind.
I also dont mind that matches need to have a winner on the day.

I do agree though that I think cards should carry over. Extra time is an extension of the full game so I dont understand why cards don't already follow through.

What about instead of penalties, the team with the least number of cards and/or the team that committed the least amount of fouls? Would address any discipline issues? Referee could take some flak in this scenario though.

I'm not saying refs are biased, but unconsciously things creep in. We see games where the ref is hard on some teams, and some teams couldn't buy a card if they took someone's head off. We can't rely on what a ref did during the match re discipline as more often than not they get some things on the field wrong. I remember the Ulster final 2020, the ref gave Cavan 2 black cards that were never ones in a million years. He nearly affected the result of the game, but luckily didn't. We can't depend on this metric.

With penalties the players are in charge of the outcome.

Exactly. And keepers too. Both teams have a say in each penalty.

About as relevant to the game of GAA as penalties

Penalties it is.

Everybody knows the craic beforehand.

The GAA has more important things to sort out.

Agreed.

Though genuinely believe the goals scored would be a decent differentiator, which would cut the number of games going to penalties by a significant margin, with the added bonus of encouraging teams to go for goals and reducing the number of balls thrown over the bar.

Other than that, I haven't seen a single workable proposal

I also don't fully understand the theory that it's a 'horrible way to lose'

Is it any worse than losing by a point AET?

I've yet to see anyone present a tangible reason as to why exactly it's so horrible

It seems like another one of those buzz phrases that lads love to say cos they heard someone on the telly say it once and thought it sounded good

70 mins, followed by 2 x 10 min periods of extra time, followed by play on till someone goes 2 (or 3, to be decided) in front. 

Yes, you could be in Croke Park till 10pm but imagine the craic  ;D

Players may not like the above though.

i would just have the first to 2 or 3 points after extra time that way its still all the elements of gaelic football it just becomes a mini match
