Wicklow lead drive for Tier 2 football championship

Wicklow are leading a campaign for the introduction of a Tier 2 football championship for 16 counties, which would spell the end of the current format where all counties beaten in the provincial series re-enter the All-Ireland race via the qualifiers.
It comes following a discussion at Central Council last month where there was unanimous agreement that the Tier 2 option should be explored. Wicklow's plan proposes that Division 3 and 4 counties drop out of All-Ireland contention unless they reach their provincial final. Instead, they would play in a Tier 2 championship, with the semi-finals and final played in Croke Park as curtain-raisers to the Sam Maguire equivalents.
If Division 3 or 4 counties reach provincial finals - as Fermanagh and Laois did this year - they would continue in the All-Ireland race.
Wicklow are proposing that a 'Super 8s' system, which replaced the All-Ireland quarter-finals this year, also apply in Tier 2.
"Bringing in a Tier 2 championship would provide welcome light at the end of the tunnel for Division 3 and 4 counties. The new competition would give them something to aim at with a chance of winning and would also and give them a chance of playing in Croke Park on the biggest days," said Martin Coleman, Wicklow's Central Council representative.
"The important thing is that every county gets to play in their own provincial championship. There's no change there.
"The new competition would have to be promoted and marketed. There's no point running it unless it's sold as an important competition designed to give Division 3 and 4 counties something to aim at," said Coleman.
Don't understand how they can't issue suspensions based on the video evidence. They have the team sheets so identifying the culprits shouldn't be a problem.
Unless there is an official video that we haven't seen?
Doesnt have to be an official video?
Referees’ Reports: One of the principal exceptions to the general preference for oral evidence is the Referee’s Report.
The Referee’s Report (including any Clarification) is proof of what it says except where “unedited video evidence or other compelling evidence” shows that the Referee has made a
mistake. There is no special manner by which video evidence should be shown. The video can be slowed down, speeded up and so on, as long as it is not altered. Whoever is introducing it in must
provide the other side with a copy of the tape/DVD in advance of the Hearing so that they have a chance of viewing it.

The tackle is already defined as

The tackle is a skill by which one or more players may dispossess an opponent or frustrate his objective within the Rules of Fair Play.
A tackle is aimed at the ball, not the player. A tackler may use his body to confront the opponent but deliberate bodily contact such as punching, slapping,
arm holding, pushing, tripping, jersey pulling or a full frontal charge is forbidden. The only deliberate physical contact allowed is that in the course of
a Fair Charge one player only with at least one foot on the ground , makes a shoulder to shoulder charge on the player in possession.
Basically if more than 2 players are in the act of tackling a player at the same time it's a foul and a free to the player in possession.
Twohands, I don't understand how you draw this conclusion from the rule as stated. 15 guys could be tackling the one player, and so long as they only played the ball and no more than one shouldered him, it's no foul, as per the quoted rule.
The tackle is a major issue in matches at all levels
A forward gets the ball, swamped upon by 3 (or more) defenders, can't get out so free against. How many times in the same game would the same happen at the other end of the field and it's a free in. This frustrates players, management and supporters and the thing escalates from there. I think limiting the number of tacklers to 2 at least gives the forward a chance. Third man in and its a free in.
I think this is a great idea - it gives more of an advantage to the player in possession and it makes the blanket defence less effective.
Under the current rules, all the defenders have to do to force a turn-over is surround a player and as long as they don't commit a foul, the player in possession will be blown for over-carrying unless they can somehow get a pass away through the gaps - the proposed 3 hand pass rule will make it even easier for defenders/harder for the player in possession as there will be occasions where the player in possession won't have the option of using a hand-pass and will have to try and somehow kick-pass it.
I agree to an extent esp regarding limiting the hand-passes
But how do you limit the number of "tacklers?" Would there be an exclusion zone around a player of a yard or something?
Also what if the possession player moves towards defender should he then get out of the way?
What would happen close to goals? Should it only be applicable outside the D?
All gets very complicated putting officials under pressure but would be worth an experiment to see what happens

Could some one post the list of names of the people on the committee that came up with these suggestions? I understand that some of the committee have never played gaelic football yet are on the committee.
The Standing Committee on Playing Rules is comprised of:
David Hassan (Chair), Tracy Bunyan (Sec), Pat Daly, Seamus Kenny, Brian Cuthbert, Michael Delaney, David Collins, Alex McQuillen, Frank Murphy.
“I know there are people who don’t agree with a two-tier championship but football is now the only sport under the Gaelic Games banner which doesn’t have a tiered system. There are tiers in hurling, camogie, and ladies football. It’s time football went that way too,” said Lee.
