Mouth O'Hara got a red for continuous abuse of officials.

Yep.
Similar to Sligo 2023 beating NY and London.
At least under the current system, the Provincial winner get their home game first so there's some little bonus for winning the Provincial, apart from the Cup and medals.

The proposed system for 2026 would see Clare having a home draw in Round 1, the same reward as say Donegal beating Monaghan, Tyrone, Derry and Armagh to win Ulster.

Red flag for 2 pointer.
Does the new advanced mark proposal apply to defenders as well?
Defender catches ball, ref blows for Mark....can defender play on and then go back to the mark if he gets bottled up?

Shouldn't Refs be speaking out behind the scenes?

They bombed a school in Gaza today murdering over 20 people.
Biden has let his thug out of control.
#6
The war criminals' mass murders of Gazans have ensured that Hamas/Hezbullah or their successors will have tens of thousands of new recruits far into the future.
#7
Whitey's gang of war criminals have now fired on UN positions.

We'll need 2 "arc umpires" and 2 "count the players" umpires giving us 11 match officials per game...

Some if not all the changes


One v one throw-in commencing each half.
Kick-outs to be allowed to be taken before all players are outside the 20-metre line.
The kick-out must travel beyond the new 40m arc.
In his own half, a goalkeeper can only receive the ball from a team-mate inside the large rectangle. In the opponents' half, they can receive it freely.
Each team must keep three outfield players in each half at all times.
The advanced mark to be reduced to a ball caught cleanly by an attacker or defender inside the 20m line from a kick from inside the 45m. The ball may be played immediately unless the referee deems no advantage has occurred.
Two points awarded for a kick from on or outside the 40m arc that splits the post.
The value of a goal to increase from three to four points.
A 50m penalty for a tactical foul delaying or interfering a free or sideline kick.
A player who commits a foul must hand the ball to a member of the other team in "a prompt and respectful manner";
The "solo and go" option for a player who is awarded a free. A team-mate of the fouled player may take it. A "solo and go" can only be taken within the 20m lines.
An attacking player to be able to enter the small rectangle (square) as soon as a free-kick is taken.
Holding up a player, either in possession of the ball is not, becomes a black card offence.
Head-on-head, shoulder-on-head and elbow-on-head all to become red card offences.
Contributing to a melee, a black card offence, is considered anything but a third or more player not removing a team-mate away from the incident.
Advantage rule's five-second time limit to be removed. Advantage will be applied at the referee's discretion.
A 50m penalty for showing dissent at a referee's decision.
At all levels up to U18, a black card for showing dissent at a referee's decision.
Stop clock/hooter, operated by fifth official on direction on referee, to be applied to games. The end of each half will be confirmed with the blow of the hooter with some exceptions.
Linesmen (line umpires) to be allowed to bring any foul play immediately to the attention of the referee.
Only captains or nominated deputies to be permitted to seek clarification about decisions taken by referees.

Best wishes to Tadhg on his returement from County football.
A hard grafting unfashionable middle 8 man who always gave his all.

That's the problem-using 4 "tippy tappy' games as a final trial and then Special Congress November and implemented in January which will be 1st serious trial in a real game.

I have no problem with a public trial as planned but the headlong rush based on challenge games.....
#13
You're all for it but then you say most of the rules are silly  and won't be implemented?!,

Nothing about the handpass, throw points or "push" goals.
Does anything in the new proposals stop sideways backwards passing or the other team standing back letting them at it?

#14
The piece of war criminal murdering sh1te.
As if what's happened in Gaza is nothing to do with him.

In other words "we're not going to beat Hezbollah so we need someone else to suffer major loss of life fighting them"

True.
The only focus in these games will be the  new rules.
You'd have to see them in a real situation where the main focus would be on winning the game.
The tap and go is a good idea.
Also moving the ball further for dissent, blocking free etc.

NO to arc, 2 pointers and 4 point goals.
My instinct is totally against the must have 3 back and 3 forward.

If they rush into implementing most of the new proposals it could make a right fk up of the NFL.
Was illogical to drop the FBD, etc in this particular year and circumstances. 2026 would have done fine.
