Gaelic Football - Rules & Regulations discussion/clarification

[Milltown Row2]

How many games have you boys watched to be giving the new rules both barrels? 🤔

A few but because I'm not a professional I can't talk about them 

As said many times this might work with 9 officials, it won't work on a soggy pitch at div 3 club league level. The 1% club run the show

All rules with the exception of the 3v3 would be grand at club level with one poor hoor reffing and no linesmen?

[The Trap]

Yes supporters love to see great skills and scores but equally they love to see intensity, blocks, tackles, argy bargy, tension.
How many people turn up at a game between 2 great rivals to see men getting stuck in to eachother and maybe it will spill over?
It's not all about score fests. Or it wasn't up to now.
In trying to make a new game they may take away a lot of the old game that supporters loved.

The new call will be, inside the 40 ref! or that's a two pointer ya blind cnut. I've been around games a long time, so many rules at once will not be grand, and there are still some clarifications to be sorted

Conference tomorrow, so will see what's what at that

Anyone know of any place showing the games  in the Canary Islands?

It was my first time watching a game under the new rules. Some positives, some I'd wait and see how they transpire but the one I don't get at all is the free brought forward 50m should the offending player not immediately hand the ball gift-wrapped to the fouled one and wish him well with his free kick.

[Rossfan]

That's the rule whether you get it or not

😁...would be my feelings too. Definite positives, but that 50m is harsh. Don't think Tyrone gave away any, us 2 or 3 I think

We see what way that 50m rule works at the end of a tight all Ireland final. 20m advantage is enough.Ref just guessing the distance the whole time.Still think a 2 pointer from a free, zero skill, a great 2 pointer from play and a free is a fair difference.

Yeah good point. How many  refs could  measure 50m accurately?  Even 20m isn't easy to measure

Agree. The other 2 scores in the Armagh game were class, but any average free taker at any level would be nailing Walsh's free last night, especially with the big wind behind ypu.

It's not difficult. On a big pitch the length is 145 meters max, so from the goals to half way is 72 ish . So gauging where the free should be isn't difficult. You'd have to be stupid not to know where it is with lines on the pitch.

Example free in the square moved 50 meters takes you 5 meters past the 45, free on the 13 takes you up to the 65 and free in the 21 takes you up to their 21 and so

So don't give the 50 meter free away and you'll have no issues

[GTP]

Does anyone know how administering cards work when the attacking team takes a solo and go?
Does the ref give the card at next break or stop the attack to issue card?
Not allowing a pass to a defensive player, the goalkeeper, in the defensive half isn't natural in a team sport. If the 3 back included the keeper you could still have 12 v 11 attacking but defensive team could get reward of a proper 3 v 3 attack if they turnover and attack direct.

This is the very instance where the rule will truly work well, as both teams will stringently adhere to it so as not to be penalised. In turn the game will continue to flow instead of a litany of petty squabbles as one team tries to evade the usual WWF moves and get the ball up the field to gain an equaliser.

It's really not a hard rule to adhere too once the habit sets in (that will be in a few weeks tbf, the lack of a trial period is a strange one.) It will only then be notable for how rarely it occurs and our game will be all the better for the reduction in "delay tactics."
