It's one possibility alright Tipp.
The way things are going and exacerbated by one team being miles ahead of the rest there will be  small crowds watching Inter County Senior football in a few years.

QuoteExperimental Football Playing Rules

The proposals relating to the restricted use of the hand-pass, the sideline kick, the introduction of the 'sin bin' and the advanced mark were all sanctioned by the meeting.

An amended version of the kick-out proposal was also passed that will see all kick-outs take place from the 20m line without having to pass the 45m line.

The experimental period will cover the pre-season competitions run by the provincial councils and the Allianz Football Leagues.

The league is going to be a write-off.

I'll be shocked if there isn't a major backlash.

Experimenting during the league goes to show what the powers to be make of the league  ::) When will those at the top realise that the NFL is the best format they have and should making it more important than using this competition to experiment new rules in?

Not one bit shocked or surprised. Modern day HQ GAA for you, Change for the sake of change and the common Joe's are told everything will be grand once the latest changes are made.

From grassroots-gaa.com



the 1st day these rules came out and some people were jumping for joy that handpassing was being tackled i put up here that this was exactly what i thought would happen

No surprise the sheep said baa to all 5 rules No brains involved Just do what the politburo tells you
Farce will result with 2 hand pass kick back til your in your own square and panic kick or a wrestling 🤼‍♀️  match develops 20 m mark is far to short Remember the philosophers football match in Monty Python that is what we'll get now. Slow and boring
So what to do? I say
1. Ban the handpass fist pass only (less reliable so encourages kicking)
2. Kick-out from small square no possession until over 20m line (scare the keepers into long kicks)
3. 30m (approx)Mark from all kickout outs (over 45m line) frees and sidelines ( not open play - clearer easy to ref distance wise etc.) and
4. 2 minute shot clock in 2nd half and any further time ( maybe 1 min in final added and extra time)

We want people to try to score quicker and release the ball more often surely?

The currently proposed rules will have the opposite effect with slower games, more confusion, more frustration, more rows fights and time wasting.

Talk about handing the game over to rugby and soccer (with soccer also able to deal honestly with gratuitous violence).

GAA is writing its own death warrant.

Don't understand the constant need to tweet the rules

No amount of tweaking will bring the game back to the catch and kick/high fielding/man to man game. Modern coaches are ruining the game as a spectacle, but they will always find a way around a new rule. All these changes annually is just like a dog chasing it's tail.

Its going to be lowest scoring league of the modern era, and the dullest.

A bad bad call to proceed with this rule.

The only way to bring it "back" is to make territory more appealing than possession.

The simplest way to do this is to bring in the Aussie Rules tackle.

It could also be achieved by preventing teams from passing backwards over the 45s and 65s, in that endless possession becomes more difficult to sustain in a decreasing space, and therefore a less attractive ploy; by nature it encourages more direct football.

This is going to be a huge shit show. Some of these rules are absolutely ridiculous, other downright stupid.

Perhaps a very clever move by the GAA. By showcasing how bad these rules will be, they may quieten the constant claims for rule changes for a generation.
