The point is well made on how long county development squads are running for.

Yeah, there would be knock on effects

I love that players in every county are available to their clubs, the clubs that have nurtured them from ages of 6/7 years of age. County is the pinnacle of a player's ability but the club is the backbone to to GAA and without it there is no county players..

I'd argue that club success (if you are a member of a club) beats inter county..

Yes the argument will be sure an Antrim man saying that knows feck all about inter county success, but club is the heartbeat

Hooter rule changed back again is that right? If it didn't work the first time round how they possibly expect it to be any different now?

Need to define what exactly happens at the end of the match with the hooter.
I would say if the hooter sounds while a kick is being attempted or the ball is mid-flight, those shots are allowed.
Likewise any deadball situation where an attempt at a score is being taken, they get to take their kick.

Yep, those last 2 lines are exactly what has been defined.  Although in both those cases the scores only count if no other player from the attacking team touch the ball in flight after the hooter. A free, 45 or sideline awarded before the hooter can be taken but must be scored directly.

A simple bit of clarification/tidying up.

I see the LGFA are trialling TWELVE new rules.
Some hurling ref calling for a "HRC" to among other things stop rucks and throw passing.

The hurling is looking at moving the ball forward for dissent, and the black card maybe?

Yesterdays Examiner...
A high-powered hurling body similar to the Football Review Committee (FRC) is required to make "tweaks" to the game, according to former national referees chairman Willie Barrett.

The Tipperary native, who officiated two All-Ireland senior hurling finals, believes the hand-pass, rucks and the throw-in are among the areas that require attention.

"If they want to really have a review of the hurling rules, such as the hand-pass and the rucks, what they need to do is get a high-profile committee like the football committee led by Jim Gavin," says Barrett. "Anything else has no teeth."

By and large the existing lgfa tackle rule
Is mostly ok (only tackling ball when it's out). Changing this to copy the men's game is a mistake and in the long term will be bad for the ladies game and put players off the game.

Allowing players to put hands up against a runner is correct though.

Would have done a lot of college games in ladies football, and I wouldn't have been the best with regards to the tackling in terms of minimal contact, once a few tackles went in the girls, and in fairness the management seemed happy enough to allow more contact and I felt it worked anyways..

The problem will come with the age of girls getting tackled by a strong senior on a young kid in a game may have its problems.

So they would need to review the age of players play at senior, whether that is a better way I don't know

Looks like they have decided the change made things worse so have gone back to the original rule which is not without as issues as seen in the end of the Meath v Westmeath league game this year.

I'd sort the rucks out double quick by allowing a lad to go in pulling on the ball.

That'd sort that hoking and footering shíte out once and for all.

Sure you can already move the ball forward for dissent, are they talking about moving it further than the 13 metres?
