Gaelic Football - Rules & Regulations discussion/clarification

[Milltown Row2]

New rules tomorrow should change things up with regards 'fake' injuries, players that need attention have to go off the pitch and only allowed back on at ref's 'discretion' 😉

About time.

And lads taking their helmets off will also need to leave the field of play and won't be allowed back on until the next break in play and from the middle of the field.

About time, as that rule was being badly abused.

Hopefully the managers are aware of the new rules.. if no break in play it could hamper a team but I'd imagine a quick puck out to the sideline will be common enough

Not sure it applies to keepers

Does it not?

Is his antics not one of the reasons for this new rule?

All a team have to do is tell their keeper to go down then and take helmet off.

In the Dubs v Mickey Harte's Derry, after a mass scrum on the 14m line the ref blew the whistle and eventually threw the ball up between 2 players. Had the attacking player gotten a good fist on the ball and it went over the goalie (off his line) and into the net, would that have been a legit goal?

I can't see why  it wouldn't count

On a similar  theme...

A player  trying to fist  the ball over the bar out of his hands,  drops short and goes into the net. No goal

But if a defender  fists the ball back towards his  own goal , but the goalkeeper is out of his goal,  and the  ball   goes into the net  . Is that a legitimate goal?

[imtommygunn]

Is it not the same premise? I.e. no goal?

To look at the rule differently

An attacker can't carry the ball over the line, no goal

A defender though if he carries the ball over the line it's a goal

So it's nearly the same as the above question.

Which is in the rule book that everyone is an expert on

You have an 11% gap too

imtommygunn was asking a question. Are us plebs not allowed to ask questions in the Rules&Regulations discussion thread without being cyber mocked by a (self claimed) 89% expert on the rules?

I'm not sure

I remember Dublin v Laois a few years back.  Think it was MDMA tried to fist  the ball  over the bar , but a Laois player  got a  partial  block on it, and  it went into the net.  Goal was awarded. Had the Laois player not partially blocked it, the goal would have been  ruled out.

So in terms of  legitimate goals  - I'd imagine it's:

attacking player fists direct  to the net, no goal.

Defender fists  direct into his own net, goal.

[Duine Inteacht Eile]

Of course it's a goal if you put it into your own net by any means.
