Gaelic Football - Rules & Regulations discussion/clarification

[magpie seanie]

The black card rule is a mess. A body check by a corner forward 100 metres from his own goal deemed more cynical than a jersey pull 20 metres out. A lot of these new innovations and rule changes are botched.

A lot of the rules are a mess - particularly around the black card.
However, it's the enforcement of the rules that is the biggest mess.
I'm not sure why the linesmen and umpires are not more actively involved in the officiating.
The nonsense that goes on off the ball is just deemed to be 'part of the game' - but the game is football and GAA rules should always be progressing to encourage good football instead of rewarding pulling and pushing and sledging.

Is a team allowed to change the goalkeepper to an outfield player if a penalty is awarded??  This is only a temporary change for the penalty kick.

Whatever about linesmen, umpires are neither properly trained to make big calls, nor accountable for their mistakes. Even in an All Ireland final, they're the referee's relations and drinking buddies.

Not sure of its legality, but Nigel Dunne did this a month or so ago for Shamrocks v Rhode in an Offaly senior club game.

Yes - an outfield player can stand in goals for a penalty but if he wears the outfield jersey he can not expect the same benefits of a goalkeeper in regards lifting the ball off the ground in the small rectangle.

Can he have the benefits of a goalkeeper if he puts on the goalkeeper's jersey while facing the penalty?

Is there a rule saying he can't do that?

[redzone]

If a player receives a one match ban for a straight red can he come on in the next game if it goes to extra time, as its always claimed that (extra time) it's a new game

[BennyHarp]

If a player receives a red card and a one match ban for the next championship game, but in that next game the opposition concede, does the players ban roll on to the next game?

[delgany]

If a player receives a red card and a one match ban for the next championship game, but in that next game the opposition concede, does the players ban roll on to the next game?

Yes. It rolls over to next game ! No escaping the rules. Another example would be a player sent off at end of u21 age group but over age the next year , is banned from senior level match(es)

[delgany]

If a player receives a red card and a one match ban for the next championship game, but in that next game the opposition concede, does the players ban roll on to the next game?

Yes it rolls over! You can't escape the rules. Another example would be a player sent off in last eligible U 21 game ( over age the next year ) would have ban carried over to next senior game eligible to play in .

Yes it rolls over! You can't escape the rules. Another example would be a player sent off in last eligible U 21 game ( over age the next year ) would have ban carried over to next senior game eligible to play in .

I'm not sure if you are banned from another grade the following year. So if a player in his last game at under 21 is sent off for a one match ban, I'm sure he can play the following year in first round of senior championship. But this is a CCC decision so it may be different to each county?

[The Bearded One]

In Tyrone a red card match suspension is only applicable at that same level, for example; receive a red card in the senior championship in 2019 and your team loses, they are subsequently relegated via the league to intermediate for 2020 - red card doesn't carry down.

[Rossfan]

Using a League to decide Championship status seems odd.
What if the Senior Champions finish bottom of the League?

[The Bearded One]

Tyrone operate 3 'Senior' leagues. Teams in Div1 play Senior championship, Div2 player Intermediate, Div3 play Junior.
Teams who win Junior Championship and Junior League are promoted from Div3 to Div2 . Teams who win Intermediate Championship and Intermediate League are promoted from Div2 to Div1. So in theory you can finish bottom of your league but get promoted by winning the Championship.

We also have 3 'Reserve' leagues but strangely your position in these leagues are determined by wherever your 'Senior' team plays.
