Rule Change Needed to Stop Puke Keep-Ball

[Jinxy]

That's a good point actually.

[CJ2017]

Good points been made.

This rule would ensure that EVERY team puts 15 on their own side of the opposition 45 for opposition kick outs. So in effect, if a team were to win their own kickout they'd be faced with 15 behind the ball straight away.

Been watching the forced 45m kickout in Australia vs Ireland after it was introduced in 2015 series, trying to figure it out.

interestingly rossfan ball is throw up to 4 midfielders after goals scored.

Why do the rules have to apply to all levels?

County players are also club players. Well, sometimes.

Why would you have a rule for county and another rule for club?

So a big ball winning Full forward and a manager whose best player is a big ball winning Full forward supports the offensive mark? Big surpirse there.

[Jinxy]

Imagine watching teams driving long balls into their FF line.
The horror.
People are voting with their feet.
They don't want to watch this tiki-taka stuff.
They don't want to watch basketball.
They want the beautiful chaos of two men going full pelt for a ball and let the better man win.

All the giving out about Dublin why wouldn't any team hold the ball when opposition show no ambition.

[Jinxy]

God, that's depressing.

[tippabu]

God, that's depressing.

Yes it is, from Magherafelts perspective

[Jinxy]

From everyone's perspective.

[lenny]

God, that's depressing.

Yes it is, from Magherafelts perspective

It certainly was. Depressing and frustrating.

[sid waddell]

Again, there are no rule changes needed. What will stop this is teams realising it isn't helping them.

And it didn't help Magherafelt, given they lost with a final score of 0-5.

[tippabu]

From everyone's perspective.

There is no reason for slaghtneil to push on, they are winning, why risk losing the ball trying for another score when Magherafelt have everyone back to prevent that. You hold the ball, get them to push up and then with more space your percentages of getting a score is alot better. I actually think the more we see this stuff the better because it will surely end up with teams having to push up and combat it the more successful it is. Just to clarify, it does look horrible and I hate it but equally respect it

Would kind of understand it if Slaughtneil was one score ahead but was there a need to do that when the margin was 5 points with time running out?

[bannside]

Going by that clip it was just before the half-time whistle. I'd say the three or four millionaires around Magherafelt who go out to source a manager to deliver a much coveted first John Mc Laughlin Derry senior title will be wondering tonight just how wise their investment was.
