Gaelic Football - Rules & Regulations discussion/clarification

I hear that the 20 seconds kick outs to go to 30 seconds

[Wildweasel74]

Haven't done away with the crappiest rule, 2pts from a free. I seen a minor kick 3 of these recently. So how's it a skill at senior level. Bad rule.

Makes even less sense when you see 45s and sideline scores just get one point.

To stop deliberate fouling!

To stop deliberate fouling!

Think they should trial it. Big risk fouling someone deliberately now with the stricter black card rule and especially the solo and go.

[Wildweasel74]

But there no skill to it to the main free takers.Clifford, Walsh, McGuigan. What Dean Rock score if he come bck.

I think sidelines from outside the arc still get 2pts, the problem is that the arc doesn't extend in to the end line because of the potential for pitches to be different widths countywide.
That said, if any deadball deserves 2 PTS it'd be the exact sideline kicks which don't qualify.

But totally agree, many 2 pt kicks in general aren't especially difficult, so allowing 2pt frees isn't rewarding a skill that we really want to see.
With the better weather, beggan will be tapping over 2 pters from his own half!

Maybe at county level it's not difficult for two pointers but I'm not seeing too many at club level so far...

Is the rule that sidelines must be taken from the hands?

Sam Mulroy 1-12 against Monaghan. All 1-12 from placed balls. 0-00 from play.

The 2 point line is distorting things in favour of free takers.

Do the crime.....pay the penalty....

[Milltown Row2]

I remember a period of youthful destruction and trying to hurl...

Been a regular on senior team for many years but the weekends out were having an effect on my defensive game..

Needless to say after a couple of games were I gave away a load of frees I was hooked!

Took me 2 more weekends to 'catch myself on' no more frees and stayed on the team there after!

The players give away the frees, they know the punishments but if they continue to do it then the problem is not only the player but the manager for picking him!

No more frees lol? If I was a manager I'd be taking you off for that. Sounds a bit passive

Just great defending

Flash questions for all experts of the game.

Can a player, who has caught the ball, hop the ball and instead of catching the ball on the rebound, decide:

1. to fist it or touch it over an opponent's head, run around and repossess the ball (Clifford: https://twitter.com/officialgaa/status/1143603014072188929)
2. to fist it or touch it to pass to a teammate?
3. to score?
4. to push it to hop it many times like basketball?

And:
Can a player, who has caught the ball, solo the ball (kick it to himself) and instead of catching the ball again, decide:

1. to fist it or just touch it over an opponent's head, run around and repossess the ball?
2. to fist it or touch it to pass to a teammate?
3. to score?
4. to push it to hop it many times like basketball?

Thanks to everyone who will help me.
