FRC Feedback - poll on new rules - which do you like least?

[Keyser soze]

When the hoover sounds at full time this weekend you'll still have children and over excited adults running onto the field.

Well the GAA will just have to suck it up.

[Milltown Row2]

Not sure what's the best way of wording that poll, I've grown with some of the rules from when they first came out..

I'm looking at them as a supporter and as an official, bit confusing but the least enhancement that really doesn't count is the forward mark, very rarely has it been done in all the game I've done so far. 1V1 at midfield players are still grappling for the ball and in occasions the lads that are on the 45 are still able to sprint in and collect the break.

The 3 up and 4 defenders is grand, as a supporter

The limits on using the keeper is great, the keeper should in fact not be outside the large rectangle, hard enough to listen to at the best of times but christ when they are up the pitch they all think they are The Gooch.

Solo and go is good

Kick outs are the same for both teams, learn to win your own ball, if the other team is always winning the ball, then managers need to look at their players

Scoring arc is good, but shouldn't be used for advanced dissent 2 pointers.. 2 pointers if from play only

[Rossfan]

Or free for fouls on the man.
20m free enough for dissent, breaching the 3 up rule.

What's the rule at the hooter?

After the hooter goes, if the team that's winning gets pissession, does the ball have to be kicked over the sideline, rather than the end-line?

[Rossfan]

If they kick it over their own end line, the 45 has to be taken.

[marty34]

If they kick it over their own end line, the 45 has to be taken.

Is that not a bit silly?

I mean, they've won the ball back and put it out of play - regardless of where.

[weareros]

Happened the poor Louth lad against Kildare. Belted it out over the endline to exasperated looks from his teammates. Fortunately, for him, Kildare were not able to capitalise.

If he kicked it into his own net it would be a goal.
If he threw it over the sideline, it would be a free.

[Armagh18]

If he kicked it over the sideline does the sideline not need taken?

[gallsman]

No

[Armagh18]

No

you'd wonder what the difference is, sure most county free takers would have a good chance of scoring a sideline, or even a 2 pointer depending on where it went out. Even in the Kildare case a sideline would have been a great chance to drop one in for a goal chance.

But he put it out of play.  That's the point.

If he kicked it into his own net, it's a goal. Ball is still in the same play. I get that.

I mean if he kicks it over the sideline after the hooter, it's not a side-line. The game's over.

A silly rule if he kicks it over his own line.

After the hooter?

When/how would the game end if you keep taking sidelines after the hooter? 

[gallsman]

No

It's daft but I suspect with the 45 they reckon there's a chance that a possible score could be deflected wide and feel teams should have the chance at it.

I felt for the Louth lad on Sunday. If Kildare had pulled that back he'd never have lived it down.

The point is that if you kick it out after the hooter, the treatment is different depending on what line it is.

If it's kicked wide, game over.

If it's put out for a sideline, game over

If it's put out for a 45, deliberately or not, the 45 gets taken. Why?
