Title: In support of the forward mark
Post by: thewobbler on April 16, 2022, 07:43:57 PM
The forward mark is universally regarded as an abomination.

Seeing as GAA board is full of shit stirrers, WUMs, professional contrarians.... If there's anyone on here in favour of the forward mark, please have your spake.

Otherwise, don't reply, please.

Catch above head height with both feet off the ground.
And the defensive mark on the same terms.

Otherwise against it.

im in favour as it is now used

my fear is that some clever manager will base their whole game plan around the mark.
why bother kicking for a point when a 20 yard footpass will give you a tap over free?
