No keep the ball a la les Dubs or back passes to gk. Rugby league has ball to opposition after x phases.

Basketball has a shot clock, I suppose you want that too?

No need to imitate every other sport or any other sport for that matter.

Defining a gaelic football tackle and legal means of dispossessing an opponent will fix a lot of our ills.  If a team can get 4 players around an opponent and the player in possession cannot find an open player, then maybe the 4 tacklers should get possession for assuming the risk of leaving their own markers?
There is a definition of a tackle - a legal attempt to win or dispossess an opponent

From the Rule Book:  (but does it really help?)

Football:

The tackle is a skill by which one or more players may dispossess an opponent or frustrate his objective within the Rules of Fair Play. A tackle
is aimed at the ball, not the player. A tackler may use his body to confront the opponent but deliberate bodily contact  such as punching, slapping,
arm holding, pushing, tripping, jersey pulling or a full frontal charge is forbidden. The only deliberate physical contact allowed is that in the course of
a Fair Charge one player only  with at least one foot on the ground , makes a shoulder to shoulder charge on the player in possession.

What are the "Rules of fair play"??

The part of the Rule book that comes just before "Rules of Foul Play".

Defenders being allowed tackle and not turning the game non contact like at present. Ridiculous stuff in many of the games in Croker the weekend.

Both games on Sunday were refereed well enough

Nothing to do with respecting decisions.
How many watches would the ref need if he sin binned 3 or 4 lads in a short period?
He'll have no neutral linesmen or umpires and certainly no sideline official.

Ah come on. Surely someone could design some sort of device or app that could so this. Probably already something in the app store that can run a few timers at the same time and give an alarm when 10 mins are up

Could we get a definition of 'a legal attempt'?
If you were any use you'd be playing.

I think any attempt that does not involve grabbing the player or jersey and is not a punch or a slap design to hurt rather than dispossess should be allowed . but ther important part is if the player in possession hold the ball for longer than 4 step or that similar time the referee should reward the tackle as if the player holds on long enough he's sure o get a free at present.
the exception to all of this being Aidan o se who every one knows is big enough to take it
