Jimmy does tactics

[rodney trotter]

Thompson going off was a blow as he is good for a few 2 pointers. Donegal had the wind in second half and made no difference.

[Fogarty]

With 10 minutes left and it's clear you won't close the deficit with singles, you have to start taking risks with 2 point attempts. Donegal never did.

Was there a conscious decision by Donegal not to kick 2 pointers?

There were at least two occasions in the second half that Murphy had frees just inside the 40M D and rather than take a step or two outside the D to get the 2 points he took the 1 point,[/b] one in particular was pretty central and he put it over with plenty to spare, the other was the time Paul Murphy played the ball before it had left the 20 metre line from a kick out and was very tight angled so maybe more understandable.

I don't think Donegal scored any 2 pointers and maybe only went for one of two the whole day.

What? He wouldn't have been allowed to take the ball out for a 2 pointer free, no rule to say you can unless the ball has been moved inside the arc for dissent. If the foul is inside you can only kick 1 pointer.

Has anybody a link to the explicit details of the new rules? I've not seen anything other than the brochure type summary. Why for example, can you pull your free back outside the arc when it was awarded for dissent only?

Only if it was originally for a foul outside the arc and it was moved up. Otherwise every half decent free taker would take every free back out

[Duine Inteacht Eile]

Because, if you were awarded a free outside the arc, you have a chance of scoring a 2 pointer. Dissent would lead to the free being moved inside the arc which is only a 1 pointer. Therefore taking an opportunity for a bigger score away from you. So you have the choice in that case.

And of course, if it was the last kick of the game and you were 2 points down, it would encourage dissent.

[delgany]

Plus if you clearly break the 3 up / back rule you can take it outside the 40m arc
