The Mark - good or bad?

[EagleLord]

Very disappointing...........we can look forward to a summer of rugby mauls and throw balls in the midfield area.........but sure as long as Mickey Harte is happy.

Does this mean that the new rules were scrapped?? And its back to normal??

[Zulu]

Yeah, all except the kick out and penalty rules which were always going to get through.

[Smokin Joe]

What was the reason for changing the kick out rule?

So as to confuse the spectators at lowly club games where there is no scoreboard.

How many times have you been at a game and not been certain whether the ref has awarded a score or not? 
You waited until the kick out was taken, and if it was from the 21 then you knew that the score stood.

I'm afraid from now on you'll have scores of old men standing along the sideline asking each other if that was a score or did the ref give a square ball

What was the reason for changing the kick out rule?

None.

They should just leave things alone!

Strange - not a word here about the GPA. Are they still getting the 3 million, or whatever it was? What are they going to do with it? What's not going to be done that would otherwise have been done with the money? Or am I just a barstool malcontent, or whatever Dessie's term of abuse du jour is?
