The 4 step rule needs changed to 6, which most player are taking anyway running hard. Player way fitter now than 30yrs ago.

Yeah change it to 6 and enforce it, 6 steps is nothing now and letting it go isn't doing any harm, actually think it would do more harm to enforce the 4 steps

The 6 steps rule would end up being enforced as the 4 steps are now
8 steps would then become the norm, quasi AFL.

Yeah thats why I said enforce it, either that or leave as is and don't be too strict imo.

Why not have a 5 second rule rather than using steps

I have seen Referees often use time when penalising rather than steps.

Yes, and you are generally blown for overcarrying after 2 turns regardless of how little steps and time you have taken. One of those unwritten GAA rules

Or if you stop to think....

[twohands!!!]

The actual wording of the current rule is

when a playeris in possession of the ball it may be : carried in the hand for a maximum of four consecutive steps or held in the hand for no longer than the time needed to take four steps.

Yet more evidence for the no-one actually botthers to read the GAA rulebook pile.

I know the rule, I'm looking at cutting out the how many steps to just using 5 seconds.

My four steps won't get me further than a taller persons four steps

Surely the 5 sec idea is a wind up? Boys could sprint  from the end line to near the 45m in 5 secs

Probably the right direction, but as jog2 points out is 5 secs too long?

Possibly, if you shouted a time, be it 3 or 4 seconds at least they'll hear and release the ball, I do 'inform' players to play the ball, a warning, generally in juvenile games but have done it in senior games, bitta coaching you may say

Any suggestion that Defenders or forwards  cant cross the half way line is simply laughable.
Half backs have been scoring  since adam wad a boy.

The biggest problem with football is negative commentary and too much  available to see and comment on.
Go back and watch games from the 70s , 80, and 90s. There were many Turgid affairs with very poor skills and no plan. Just hoof it as far as possible and hope.

Well now.
Glad to see a bit of fight back.
I really think the GAA need to make it clear to RTE and others that the contract to broadcast the games comes with an obligation to promote not negate the great game that it is.

Why they allowed Brolly O' Rourke  and Spillane to talk down the game fir so long beggars belief.
