Gaelic Football - Rules & Regulations discussion/clarification

[Captain Scarlet]

Common sense...
Kildare v Antrim one of the Antrim lads stepped over the line.
Linesman saw him and he out the hands up.
A few roars but kildare were inside the 45 on attack, so not interfering with play.
Within the same phase a Kildare defender stepped over shouting instructions.
Not over 4m and no interference. Antrim selector goes nuts at same Linesman and they get the free when Kildare were still in attack.
It was laughable.

Should def be part of the rule about interfering with play, would make referees job easier as they don't have eyes in the back of their head.

Is that not in yet? Like it was no free for either side.

Can't think of any of the rule changes that haven't improved things

Most surprisng of the 4 finals over the weekend was that the Div 1  teams seemed the teams that didn't utilise as well as the other teams.

GL stats from Michael McMullan.... Rory Beggan has kicked 17 two pointers. That's more than 6 of the division 1 and division 2 teams have.

Tyrone have had to clarify the hooter/final whistle situation in club football with an email to clubs this week.
Basically end of match protocols haven't changed and the referee will deem time and the game ends on his/her whistle. And probably the contentious bit - the ball does not need to be out of play for the final whistle to go.

[Stall the Bailer]

I think you missed the word NOT, it is the same as before the new rules.

Clock-hooter system will only be used for televised games as some grounds not ready


The new clock and hooter system will only be used in Sam Maguire and Tailteann Cup games which are either televised or streamed by GAA+.

An audit conducted by the GAA's Games Administration department and one of the companies which provides the system to the association found that some county grounds are not suited to its use.

"It is unfortunate," Football Review Committee chairperson Jim Gavin said during a media briefing on Wednesday evening.

"Obviously, from an FRC perspective, we'd like to see it everywhere but the harsh reality of it is, some grounds aren't ready, according to the Games Admin. So they've taken a pragmatic view."

The FRC estimates that 25 - 30 grounds will use the system this summer. During the Allianz Football League, it was only used for Division 1 and 2 games.

"It has had the intended positive impact, particularly in enhancing clarity and transparency in timekeeping," the FRC said in a new report.

"It has also helped address concerns regarding time-wasting tactics, especially when a player has been black-carded. While some issues have been identified, the FRC anticipates improvements as the GAA community becomes more familiar with the Public Clock and Hooter timekeeping system. Continued refinement and adaptation will further enhance its effectiveness."

Not sure why Donegal didn't want to get to the league final.

This game is a slower pace that a national league match.

Probably expected a bigger challenge from Derry

But I'm just asking why teams like Donegal, didn't want to get to the league final.

People say it's all about getting rest for the championship as it's a higher level. But from that game today, it's like a league game in intensity.

Pedestrian paced for the most part.

Do you no longer have to call the mark from a kickout? Didn't see a hand up for the one brought forward for Donegal.
