Gaelic Football - Rules & Regulations discussion/clarification

[Milltown Row2]

I'm not giving 8 meters if a player can't make use of that distance then take the free.

Also if I'm taking a name, there's no advantage of the tap and go

Question for Milltown
I half heard McStay this evening talking about goalkeepers and 20 seconds.
Is there a new requirement for kick outs?

[The Boy Wonder]

Some of the penalties for infringements are way out of proportion to the crime,
e.g. awarding a 14 metre free for a minor infringement in the other half of the field.
Why even bother with the free - who is going to miss a 14 metre free ?

20 seconds has always been the preferred time let's say for a free, same for keeper, the keeper address the ball and it should be no more than 20 seconds.. I think with introduction of the clock it's being probably more enforced?

[Rossfan]

Canning saying no additional time played in Derry v Galway.
Did no one tell him about the clock?

Yeah if penalised it's a free in rather than throw up.

That's actually very true. You might as well just add the point on, with no free kick, when this happens.

"I don't know" is a good enough answer too.
Canavan spoke about it there. Referees were given a directive on it this week but it wasn't communicated to managers and players.

It's all fluid at this point.. we've a few outstanding queries,  which from speaking to other ref's doing games are still not sure what they are doing is correct and players and managers in the same boat

The communication from the FRC would appear to need some work, maybe an idea to inform all relevant stakeholders what the rules are.

I was wondering had I missed something as I read the new rules a few times and never saw any mention re changing the penalty for delaying kickouts from a hop ball to actually conceding a 13m free.
Some of the penalties are too severe with these rules

Yeah I agree

I was also surprised by the 13m free for a delayed kickout. Watching matches on TV I can't say I understand what the rules are. Solo and go appears to be taken whatever way a player fancies and the delaying a free kick / handing the ball back is not consistently applied. It needs defined properly as being a deliberate action to delay a restart (e.g. kicking, throwing ball away, stepping in front of the kicker) or better still removed. In the Derry games I have watched two players have been penalised whilst on the ground with little realistic chance of getting up and one appeared to be penalised as he thought he had taken a mark when it was a free against. In Kerry v Dublin a player dropped the ball at the Dublin man's feet without being penalised when as I understand the rule he should have been.
The 50 penalty, didn't stop Armagh players getting in the refs ear when Donegal had been awarded a 21m free as they knew it would make no difference if it was brought in. It is a disproportionate punishment for anything that happens between the 45s.

Darragh Maloney said the same the other week as well, and worse still he said at the end of the match that similar to the first half there appears to be no additional time at the end of the match....
