Gaelic Football - Rules & Regulations discussion/clarification

[From the Bunker]

I see the new 2 pointers have to be kicked cleanly over the bar.
Any deflections (or hitting bar or post???) = 1 point.

Jez, you'll need 2 Referees, 4 umpires hawk eye and VAR to police that.

Keep things simple - I say!

[Rossfan]

Was nice and simple
Over bar = 1 point
Under bar - 3 points.

There's currently an online seminar on now with Jim, explaining the new rules

I'm a struggling with the rationale behind this one. It's having extra rules for the sake of having rules.

Nothing new from GAA HQ only difference this time is having the new rules fronted by Saint Jim Gavin and getting maximum hype from the national media.

Just a heads up! This is going to be bonkers this year...

It's a new sport

These fellas don't know what's going on under no pressure and with it wrote in front of them and there's no mention of how they're going to support referees with this especially Club refs

Does it make you rethink refereeing? I honestly can't see how this is going to work at club level. Even the throw in, how are you supposed to know if the player behind you is staying at the line.

Also can't wait for the 2 pointers and people shouting it took a touch haha. This is going to be a mess

I think  you're right. This is going to get ugly for referees.  It seems difficult enough to recruit new referees as it is. These new rules  certainly won't help

A frankenstein sport. A bit taken from other sports for a new creation.

I genuinely think at least one county board will abandon them 5-6 games into a club league due to utter chaos and some poor ref having to run for his life somewhere and refs refusing to participate.

And if one county board does it will open the flood gates. Be similar to the minor a few years ago where county boards decided there own rules regardless of HQ.

[Milltown Row2]

Some clarification needed on a few things which they are not sure about!

Anyone thinks this is going to fix football hasn't a clue

I couldn't agree more.

It is much more likely to do the opposite. Complete and utter nonsense and we've been marched into it by the nose.

Hope this happens tbh.

Just not workable at club level.

Not sure you need to say boo in the first place. Frees given, move on
