Nope, tried but I'm left wonder is this AI

Stop changing the rules every 6 months.

Farcical.

You will be better off keeping your questions for after the championship.

Anytime in August or later will be fine.

Isn't it obvious that Gianni is a made up account for some other GAABoard small membered subscriber.

Since the debate about the refs' interpretation of the advantage rule, from watching some televised games since  I have gotten the impression that the refs are becoming very clear and consistent about the interpretation of the advantage rule and in most all cases called play back if no advantage was accruing, regardless of circumstance.

"1v1 for all throw-ins"

That is almost what it is like at the moment. In most of the games I have seen, one pair of players push each other while the other pair compete for the ball.

I thought that was the rule

By rule, if another player other than the two competing for the ball takes possession of the ball first then he has fouled the ball by being less than 13 meters from where ball is thrown up.

Done it a few times and players and line lose it! Again people not knowing the rules

Depends on how long it look them to gain possession and should you be throwing the ball up/in if the players aren't the pre-requisite 13 metres away?

They can't control it at intercounty, even harder when I'm at a club game with no linesmen to help. What it does do when I call it is it settles down a normally heated engagement with players.

As for the how long it takes him to gain possession, he'd have to have some pace on him to make 13 meters before the two that are competing for the ball. Also if I waited for all players to move back 13 meters for a hop ball then I'd make it easier on myself and blow the match up early, as they won't move back

The throw in to start a hurling match always amuses me. The poor refereee is taking his life into his own hands there.

[Saffron_sam20]

The 4 pts for a goal will make zero difference to teams going for goal, if anything it will make more hammerings. look at the last round of results

Derry 0-15 Armagh 3-17, Celtic Park - FT
Monaghan 2-10 Louth 2-10, Clones - FT
Westmeath 0-11 Galway 1-12, TEG Cusack Park - FT
Meath 0-9 Kerry 2-18, Pairc Tailteann - FT
Tyrone 3-15 Clare 0-10, Healy Park - FT

all 4 points for a goal will do is make the gap bigger, the scoring system is fine. I have not heard anyone really complain that 3pts isnt enough for a goal.

ditch the forward mark completely and possible a shot clock when you pass half way would be plenty.

the 1 I actually do like is the tap to yourself for a free to stop cynical fouling

He nearly got clipped on Sunday, the key is go back as far as possible and throw it in, very rarely that the players swing at the ball, possession is sought straight away

I think it was if the rule for 2 points from a score outside the new D, then they'd increase the value of a goal

[thewobbler]

4 points for a goal would become the embodiment of the law of unintended consequences.

[lenny]

Why would a brilliant team move involving lots of players followed by a deft finish from 25/30 yards out only be worth half the value of a long hopeful kick from 45/50 yards. It's a ludicrous idea. If you do want to reward long range points then they should be worth 3 points with 2 for a normal point and 5 for a goal. That way a long hopeful kick with the wind is only worth 1.5 times the value of a shorter range point at the end of a brilliant move.
