Inter-Provincial Series showcasing new rules..

[ONeill]

So 3 goals and 4 points can beat 19 points? As in traditional points.

I mean 4 2-pointers.

I was expecting the score above to be listed as 3-0-4 to 0-0-19

3-4-0
0-0-19

They tried 2 points for a sideline cut in hurling a while back and just added it on to the points tally so no great surprise.

Frank McGuigan's 0-0-11 won't look as good if some lad from Fermanagh scores 0-6-0

[From the Bunker]

Frank McGuigan's 0-0-11 won't look as good if some lad from Fermanagh scores 0-6-0

I'm pretty sure that a fair few of Frank's 0-0-11 would be 0-4-7 in the modern rules.

I'm pretty sure that a fair few of Frank's 0-0-11 would be 0-4-7 in the modern rules.

Having just watched the video, few would have been, they were around the 21m line. But of course Frank might have have stayed a little further out if the shot was worth two. My other thought is that Armagh should have put two men in round him.

I think 5 would have been called for a mark depriving us of seeing him take the backs on. The McGuigan dummy

[Armagh18]

Unless you shoot coaches, tactics won't veer towards a more open competitive game unless the rules dictate it.

Hmmmm that would be a better option than some of the rule changes.

[HokeyPokey]

Can anybody paying in get their money back. The 2 point scoring line not far enough out.

I don't understand why it doesn't follow through until the end line. Should reward shots from very acute angles.

[gallsman]

One of the selling points of the kickout rule was that attaching teams didn't have to move out past the 20 so could leave a man inside, win a contested kickout and stick it straight back in.

Last night I saw umpteen kickouts where the keeper had a simple kick to an unmarked corner back marginally further out the field than he'd normally be

[seafoid]

I think it improves the game.

What specifically is the improvement

Reduces lateral passing. 2 points for a score outside the arc 50 yards for dissent.
Monaghan v Tyrone will be unrecognisable in 2025

[full moon]

Looks like a very poor crowd for this first game today. It's on RTE news channel.

GAA could have surely done more to get people in the doors. Free attendance surely could have been done and a bit of advertising.

[full moon]

I dunno if I can listen to that f**king whistle again actually it's horrible

Really emphasises how much frees and breaks in play there is. Not much different to NFL or rugby league

It won't reduce lateral passing at all. It is in these games cause it's exhibition.

The dissent thing is also grim. Far too much, Munster player ran into Leinster player pretending to hit. Free to get the ball moved forward so keeper could get a free and try get 2pts.

[Blowitupref]

Half time in the Shield final Leinster 1-12 (16) Munster 0-6.

[GTP]

Player on the ground punished for not getting off the ball, not sure what more he could have done.
Advantage from the forward mark which rewarded a terrible miss and a catch at chest height. Skills we all want to see.
