Gaelic Football - Rules & Regulations discussion/clarification

[Duine Inteacht Eile]

Hopefully it's not "Wino".

Excuse me but can we please start calling them by their proper title - line umpires.

Something I'm hearing more and more of is Lino! Is that a soccer thing?

well, we have women on the line sometimes now so maybe its just a gender neutral term??? But yeah, I think its a soccer thing

[Milltown Row2]

I think those shouting at the linesperson are not the gender respect type ya think.

Questions with regards to your eyesight parentage lack of hair/height/weight and ability don't seem to be a concern to these yahoos

Seen it mentioned on Social media that Donegal have been trying Murphy out as GK. one of the best forwards in the country gonna be able to be the free man on an overload with more space. Brilliant.

Patton is a fantastic keeper find that a little bizarre.  Could be a complete disaster when they are turned over.

Patton is a cracking keeper, but its really going to be risk and reward, if Murphy gets a couple of 2pters and a point and maybe sets a few up then getting caught out and conceding a goal is prob seen as worth it. Again its only challenge games and as we know JMcG is the fella who's tactics really changed things last time, he's def going to be looking for advantages now straight out of the blocks

[Captain Scarlet]

Someone like Murphy moving up and being an outlet would be a threat. It's not like in soccer where he is the only one who needs to run back into goals, they have pace who could clog it up on the odd turnover.

Imagine him just popping passes around and always facing the goal. His boot from kickouts would be seriously accurate too.

James Horan and various others tipping Donegal to win Sam this year.
12 months ago it was between Dublin and Kerry with Derry the best outside chance.

[Armagh18]

Theres obviously no way you'll leave Murphy free because he'll kick 2 pointers all day, but Donegal have a lot of players capable of kicking 2 pointers.

Not for me. So much fell right for Donegal last year. They'll do very well to make a semi final this year imo

Have noticed that and seems to be based on the return of Murphy and others plus how McGuinness won the All Ireland in his first term in his 2nd year.

Also probably based on the fact that Donegal could easily have won last year and seem to have strengthened their panel this year. Everyone is expecting them to be one of the teams best placed to take advantage of the new rules because of JMcG but we'll find out soon enough.

They're one of 8 possible winners imo depending on luck, injuries, form of key men, adapting to the new rules and about 100 more things. Last year Derry were being tipped by lots and ended up peaking in March and beat out the gate come championship. Galway have built a serious panel and if they can keep their big men fit they'll be hard stopped. Armagh could go either way I think, but even if we don't win it again still fit to take a big scalp or 2.

Shooting accuracy is where they lost the semi final. Was near 80% first half v Galway and 2nd half down to 36%.

Six 2 pointers for Galway.
