Hard to see much benefit from last night's games. They were played like friendlies. They quarters are of no benefit. Don't see tge point in the 1 v 1 at throw ins. And I'd keep the old scoring.
The 3 players up is a good idea, to referee it the umpires linesmen and ref will need to be mic'd up. Might be good if 3 defenders have to also stay in their own half.

Not sure why they split it in quarters. I thought it might have been to allow loads of subs.
1 v 1 is a positive as we don't have the 2 man wrestle while the other 2 go for the ball.

Get rid of the 2 and 4 point scores please.
And the handpass points.
Play the game and play it fairly
Play the game like Dermot Earley.

Quarters were just for last night.

I like 1 V 1 in the throw in. Saves all that pulling and dragging.

Quote from: AustinPowers on October 18, 2024, 04:50:42 PMI would have thought a rule where you limit  the  number of consecutive  hand passes to two or three , and not allow  kicking backwards  would have been easier to police than  this 3 in each  half and basketball zonal  scores

If you've used up your 2/3 hand passes,  you have  to kick it forward. That encourages  more attacking play

How many ref's look after basketball? Small court and well lined out, now take yourself to some bog of a pitch after a few days of rain, lines washed away and you're there on your tod

Whats your point, MR2?

It's impossible to managed for 99% of our games. The 1% and armchair viewers who complain might think it's workable and watching this Leinster obviously not liking it either


Be impossible to referee at club level and the scoring is stupid, as I thought will make hammerings worse

The ref said before second game would be hard to watch the game in front of him and also look behind at 3 v 3 rule. Imagine a club game with no other help.

We have had 20+ years now of Gaelic Football becoming a more defensive, a more possessive and more tactical game. A few rule changes are not going to change things back over-night. I'm not sure there is an cure.

Although the game is dying as a spectacle. The game still holds dear in the hearts of all Gaels. County titles, Provincial titles, AI titles hold great weight and pride in communities. 

People are more and more waiting for the big day to go to games anymore. Early round games are dropping in numbers. This says most are more interested in being there for the occasion rather than the game.

My only answer to the whole thing is make it 13 v 13.

Just ditch football and put everything into the hurling, it's the national sport, the oldest game and as a spectacle l, the best
None of us are getting out of here alive, so please stop treating yourself like an after thought.

National sport ;D

More people play hockey than hurley stuff in 17 or 18 Counties.
Play the game and play it fairly
Play the game like Dermot Earley.

13 v 13 is over a 10% reduction in the number of players participating in a match. This is bound to cause a drop off in playing numbers over time damaging clubs particularly at underage. The unintended consequences would be worse than the problem it is intended to solve.

100% correct.

Hurling is the greatest.  No matter what the review committees do, football will never compare to hurling.

It's Liam Mc Carthy V Lory Meagher. 

Football is basically basketball.

13 v 13 makes it easier for really weak clubs to put out teams. It also makes it easier for middle of the road size clubs to have a B teams at all age group levels. Subs bench would be utilised more also as players would tire quicker. I don't see how it would damage participation.

It would encourage more kick passing to conserve energy wasted on carrying the ball.

Hurling for all it's plaudits, is a foreign sport in nearly all of the country.
Our area started a Hurling Club nearly 20 years ago. There is a fairly large uptake in the beginning. but, The drop out is huge. Gaelic football and Soccer always win out.

Promotion of the game is poor and there is no local Heroes. The last local hero Hurler from Mayo was Keith Higgins and that was 100% based on his football exploits.

This correct; amazed it didn't come up for consideration. I remember playing MacRory foot ball back in the early 70s when it was 13-a-side

But according to most on here football is puke, so get rid, Mayo might as well throw everything In behind hurling as the football hasn't been to kind to them since the curse

Antrim being an example throwing everything in behind hurling and being successful......
