Gaelic Football - Rules & Regulations discussion/clarification

If a free kick is taken too short, does the ref hop the ball or reverse the free?

Was at a game the other night where the ref reversed the free. I always thought it was a hop ball

It is a hop ball but see this pretty often as well refs that aren't clued up on the rules enough

Hop ball in men's and reverse free for ladies

[theticklemister]

Ye can't bring a sideline 'up the line' but if opposition being a dickhead you can give a free and bring it in

[Milltown Row2]

Hop ball if there's retaliation
Hop ball if players from opposing teams foul at same time
Hop ball for player collecting ball inside D or 21 in hurling, football for both
Hop ball if play stopped with no team in possession
Hop ball for breaking line for sideline kick

Have I missed any?

This is the rule for mens
4.11    (a)      For a player on the team awarded a free kick or a sideline kick to be less than 13m from the
          ball before it is kicked.
It is a free kick.

Foul is against the player receiving the ball. So it is a free kick. If the kicker fouls the ball by taking too long, taking it from the wrong place or dissent then it is a hop ball.

Very harsh isn't it. Common sense would say give a hop ball.

If a sub goalie is listed #16, and their jersey is a match of the starting goalkeeper, and during the match they are subbed on outfield, do they just run around in the goalie colours?

* Players have to hand the ball to a fouled opponent, rather than dropping it or kicking it away

I don't think the GAA thought this new rule through. I envisage lots of incidents of players whacking the ball into players' chests as they hand the ball back.
Should have just said they have to drop the ball straight away as soon as a free is blown.

I hope they have thought of punishments for infractions like this. Does anyone know if these have been published yet? Like what is the punishment for not keeping 3 players inside the 65?

[Milltown Row2]

Could see a wave of refs saying 'feck this for lark' and handing their whistles back.. The amount of changes in the game over the past few years is mad Ted

Has this been proposed for congress? It's followed well in the Aussie Rules that one. Probably because the penalty is moving up the foul by 50 metres but they do throw the ball back directly into the opponent's chest whenever they have fouled them and quick free kicks are taken.

I would have  thought they'd have to change into an outfield jersey, but considering we  regularly see goalkeepers  outfield  anyway , maybe they could run out  in a GK jersey. But I'll leave  this to  the referees on here to confirm

You can't have two goalkeepers on the field on the same team.

I found some more precise information regarding the possibility of dribbling the ball like in basketball.

-5. Definition of bounce: "For a player who has caught the ball to play the ball against the ground with his hands and to catch it on return to his hands."

Change: This redefinition of the bounce has the effect that the "Basketball Type", bounce, per se, is not a foul.

A "double bounce" is not effected until the ball is "caught" on completion of the second bounce.-

So are the following actions legal or not?

1. I catch the ball and then start dribbling, basketball style but with one or two hands (two hands is illegal in basketball but is it also illegal in Gaelic football?) and then I stop dribbling and pass the ball away to a teammate.

2. I catch the ball and then start dribbling, basketball style, then I catch the ball as before but I start dribbling for a second time but in the end I will never catch the ball again but will hit it with one hand or foot to A. pass it to someone else, B. to score, C. to pass it to myself and then now catch it again in possession.

3. Or is the "second bounce" rule to be understood in this way: I catch the ball, start dribbling, basketball style, but now I can no longer catch the ball otherwise it will be a foul?

I didn't really understand the dynamics of the rule. For example, I catch the ball, bounce one time then, without catching the ball, I continue to dribble, but in the posted video it's a foul.
