The 3 hand pass rule not going ahead for the League. The 4 other rules to go ahead.

I see absolutely no sense in the sideline rule. Happy the handpass is gone.

Limit to throwball defeated by a slender margin I hear.
Price increases for Leagues and Championships passed.

I presume crowds will be up all over the place ::)

GAA will never get a meaningful change in the way it panders to vested interests. Football as a spectacle will continue to die a slow ugly death.

Will there be any kick in open play in it at all?

Expecting a very high scoring game now that this rule has been removed.

The one rule that definitely needed the extra games to see its effect was dropped. Still we are where we are so we'll see how it goes. I think the offensive mark and the three hand pass rule might have worked well together to change how the game is played.

Biggest winners of handpass defeat;

Teams that play and teach negative Gaelic football, I.e don't kick the ball
Managers like Declan Bonner etc, who could not even try it out for more than a few BS games
Tha FAI
The IRFU
Anyone who dislikes Gaelic Football

Biggest losers;

Supporters,

A conservative estimate would be 98% of supporters wanted the 3 handpass rule binned

I spoke to about 20 people who were at Ros v Sligo and nobody not one of them said the handpass rule should be binned.

I'm wild confused about some of the rules that were on show in the mckenna cup. Frees blown for catching the ball between the 40 and 21 when its meant to be inside the 21. Also, James Morgan got 2 yellows which should have been a sin bin but instead was shown a red card??
