Gaelic Football - Rules & Regulations discussion/clarification

[shawshank]

Just watching some of these videos re the trial rules. A question for clarification lads??
The rule about the keeper can only get a pass if he joins the attack after crossing the dotted line in the middle of the pitch. Can he be tracked a one any of the three players that you have to keep up in your attacking area?

Or does that give the attacking team an extra man to attack with if the keeper gets beyond that dotted line?

This is correct,the goalkeeper can create a +1.

The only scenario where the 3v3 can be changed is when there is a red or black card.

Most swarm tackles are 90% fouls, and refs don't give them cause a player nowhere to go, but is been fouled in contact.

[AustinPowers]

What if a player is getting treatment  inside the 50?  Does he count as one of  the three kept up top?

In regards to the new rules James Horan said  "I would be cursing whoever got rid of the pre-season competitions this year,"

"That is who I'd be cursing this year. Because we were talking to John Cleary on Monday. So, he can't start training until December 7th. He can't have any challenges. He has no pre-season competition. He'll have all his college guys gone in January, and then in December, after the club season, you'll have a lot of guys that have gone on holidays.

"He is going to get a couple of sessions, I'd say, of all his team playing before the national league. So, that's awful tough on an inter-county manager. If I was an inter county manager, I'd definitely be giving out to someone about something. It is too short. I think the FBD would be perfect for it this year, of all years."

Cork boss John Cleary said that the preseason competitions shouldn't have been abandoned this year: "We are organising challenges games now, we have one or two in the pipeline, I'd have preferred the McGrath Cup. It is a structured competition. There is a bit of media, referee, linesmen and umpires. It is probably not the same in a challenge game."

Sure they're "pointless" according to some on here.

Some advantage for a team like tyrone. Morgan will be getting 7 or 8 free shots a match from outside the 40m arc and if he only scores half will still be getting 8 points.

I'm sure teams will have some sort of plan in place to not let a fella like that any time or space in the shooting zone. (If not I'm more than happy to take big bucks on any coaching set up )

They can try but first of all they will only be able to have 11 players back instead of 14 and there'll be more space to cover. Second the keeper will be a free man unless they push someone onto him and leave someone else free. The dilemma for defences will be whether to defend against the 2 pointers leaving them vulnerable to conceding a 4 point goal.

Are 45s gonna be worth 2 points?

[gallsman]

Yes.

[From the Bunker]

Could football end up like Hurling with mostly long range scores?

[APM]

Yes.

45s would be 1pt

[Truthsayer]

I think 45s in Ladies football are 2 points... have never seen one scored though. One is enough for the men's game.
I like the new rules. Something drastically needed done.

[APM]

Yes.

45s would be 1pt

Was looking to find where I read that and it was the BBC :
What are the standout changes?
The proposed change that really catches the eye is the one that will reward long-range shooting with shots from outside a newly constituted 40-metre arc - bar converted 45s - which go over the bar being worth two points as opposed to one. In addition, goals would be worth four points.
