Gaelic Football - Rules & Regulations discussion/clarification

[befair]

In general the new rules have been a great success; tho wish they had kept 4 pts for a goal.

As a Derry man I'm glad they didn't, our hammerings were bad enough

[Captain Scarlet]

Yesterday the Antrim midfielder shot outside the arc (a nive bit outsidein fairnes). Keeper misjudged and it bounced over.

Only 1 point given, but fair few thought it was misread ruling and should gave been 2 pointer.

If there was a touch on it then one point, if no touch a two pointer, though that could have changed with the new new rules rather than the old new rules 

[Captain Scarlet]

No touch. Lad had time and had a pop, keeper was stuck to the line and it bounced inside the 14 and over.

Antrim hit 6 of them with the wind as it was!

Same thing happened for Westmeath Vs Roscommon.  No touch, ball bounced over the bar - 2 points correctly given!

u14 game at the weekend (in Tyrone). Last weekend the referee told us that everyone had to be outside the D for the kickout and as long as the ball travelled 13m it could be collected inside the D. This weekend, we were told by a different referee that the ball can never be collected inside the D.
Impossible to coach kids when the refs have different views on rules.

IMO, with the exception of solo-and-go and the dissent rules, none of the other rules have brought anything to the game.
I was at the Tyrone v Dublin match, there was as much hand-passing, sideways play around the new arc, defending as there had ever been. There was some high catching (there always was), and some long range scores (there always was) and some goals (there always was). The pitch invasion at the end after the hooter went with the game still on was hilarious, but also shows the confusion.
I don't see the benefit in a set of rules that seem to be changing week on week, with different referee's having different ideas. The core reason for them of encouraging kicking and attacking play and to make the game more watchable hasn't really been evidenced imo, though I'd love to see the statistics.
I wonder will the stats be published or will it be a case of choosing the stats that suit the narrative?

Correct.
One for Milltown
After Cox foolishly kicked a stupid wide, Westmeath goalie put ball on tee. Hooter went.
Goalie kicked out ball and led to equaliser.
I'd have thought the ball is out of play till it's kicked by the keeper?
After all no one can run in and kick the ball over-the-counter bar off the tee.

Fine, I think I might have possibly missed called one 4v3 rule but Its very difficult to count and keep track of the ball and play, so unless its really obvious or I have linesmen I'm not going outta my way, its mostly well marshalled. There was no dissent calls either.. Some minor infractions on the rules but all talked through at the time, its a learning spell for everyone.

In the heat of the game players are still getting used to what you can do to make the most of the rules

This hooter is going to cause a lot of problems. Play has to stop when a team kicks out out over the sideline after the hooter is sounded, could the keeper have kicked the ball straight out over the sideline? Maybe, had a chat about it the other day when the player of the defenders kicked it over the own end line when the hooter went, the ref gave the 45 to the attackers who scored with it! So you have to play it out over the sideline, either the keeper or player can do so

[Would ye whist]

Question. if a team has a player sent off do they still have to keep 3 up?

[Milltown Row2]

Yes, I think they still have to maintain 4v3 for defenders (that includes keeper) and 3 attackers

[Hereiam]

If they could cut down on the amount of hand passing by teams if would really help the game.

[David McKeown]

If my memory is correct. In the Armagh Derry game the hooter went in both half's when the ball was out of play for goal kicks. Neither kick was allowed to be taken.
