Gaelic Football - Rules & Regulations discussion/clarification

[Ball Hopper]

My reading is that if a player is fouled and his momentum takes him a bit away from the foul, or he's a bit away from the exact spot of the foul when the ball is returned to him, then he can solo and go as long he is within 4m of the exact foul location.  He can travel 4m after the solo before being tackled.

If he is more than 4m from the exact foul location, a conventional free is taken, with no solo and go option - if he solos beyond the 4m of the exact foul location, hop ball.

Are we giving people permission to take the 'free' 4 meters from the actual spot of foul?

As long as the player is within 4m of the foul and his first action is solo, then play continues.

That sentence explains everything clearly in my head.  Outside 4m, bring it back for conventional free.  Steps before solo, hop ball.

20 seconds for free kicks? Is that the end off keepers strolling up to kick them?

Most keepers will be out field anyways.. with the automatic free instead of a hop ball for taking more than 20 seconds for a kick out it should speed things up

If Dublin Joe had of had the guts he would have hopped the ball at the end of the 2011 final rather than allowing Cluxton 20 minutes to amble up the field and take the free that probably changed the course of GAA.

On the advanced mark- if thr player has a clear advantage but puts the ball wide/shot is saved/blocked, is it still taken back for the mark?

Yes

Yes

No

No is correct by my reading of things

[APM]

Why have we not seen a big target man on the edge of the square being used more?  Between the mark rule, tap & go and the backs having to guard the 2 pointers I'm surprised we haven't seen more of it. Given the job Walsh is doing for Galway on the 2 pointers, does a fit Comer not become the perfect combination?

It is. If the shot is missed, he's tackled or blocked or no advantage accrues it goes back to the mark position. And at that stage anyone can take the kick. They're going to play it for up to 20 seconds.

Unless this has changed since the 18th February, the rule is as above.

Which I now see it has🙈lol Ah jeez lads this is going to be messy, you bring players in and go through rules, they start to get to grips with them and then they're changed as we go. That one is now as clear as mud - the more they change these rules the messier it's getting. What is the right answer to it now?

Was clear originally, but now if he misses after a 'clear advantage' is that advantage over or go back to mark? It doesn't state either clearly. So how's a referee, coach or player supposed to be clear on that? Mess

No time limit - ref's discretion

Yea you're right it's refs discretion, but the refs who were at our seminar said that 20 seconds was the rough timeframe they'd been given

So which rules are we playing with this weekend?

[BigGreenField]

If rules are having to be tweaked this later in the day possibly an argument not to thaw the change from the original rule at all.


Soli and Go and 3 men up the only 2 that properly work.
