Quote from: gallsman on January 23, 2025, 10:39:01 AMAre the four steps before the solo actually four steps though? Or the 6-10 steps players are habitually allowed in open play. Can the player be tackled in the four steps before he takes his solo.

I'd say for 4 metres.

Nobody will get to them by 4 metres anyway.

Can they if the solo and go/go and solo has to be done within 4m of the point of the foul, can the player walk 4m from the point of the foul and then go another 4m before actually soloing the ball?

It may seem like nonsense to be arguing but the point is that this is one of the rules that almost nobody had a problem with, figuring it could be a simply implemented change that would speed up the game and give options to the attacking player. Instead it too is a convoluted mess.

Not only is there a storm coming , there's a  shitstorm  coming as well.

These new rules  are going to  be a disaster.

Latest thing I  read was about GK and outfield player  putting on and  taking off  jerseys  during play to get around the  keeper rules. Like wtf?

Anyone  remember Joey Tribbiani's game show? This is what these new rules  remind me of. Points for  answers answered  backwards, holding your breath bonuses, and  hopping bonuses and such like. Absolute nonsense.

Club match officials in particular are in  for a torrid time.

I think speed will be the issue rather than distance.

To have the advantage, you get up 'go and solo' and play on. No point walking.

All about speed.

Nah, apparently the players all now how its going to go, as I was reliably informed the other day, be sorted from day one, should be grand ;D 
None of us are getting out of here alive, so please stop treating yourself like an after thought.

Will any rule be dropped after the first 2 Rounds of NFL?

Sure who cares about club football lol. Referees missing plenty as is and that's at county level when they have men around them. Hardly going to be much better at club level with 1 man by himself

Jim Gavin and James Horan are "basketball fans"? Didn't know that. Tell me more.

Or perhaps leave off the hysteria and watch a few rounds of the league and see how it goes.

Possible later in the league but unlikely he reckons. The handing the ball back needs to go immediately.
