Gaelic Football - Rules & Regulations discussion/clarification

[twohands!!!]

I thought there'd be a lot more direct long ball into the full forwards but it just seems to be more of the same re: don't give possession away, carry ball up and look for space in and around the D for the 1 pt.  If not, re-cycle and if chance, take the 2 pointer.

I think it will take a bit more time for players and management to adopt their games to the new rules.

I think so far it has been a story of teams getting used to the rule changes (and mid-league tweaks) and basically just playing the same way they have always played.

Teams don't seem to have strategically or tactically adjusted to the new rules in either attack or defence.

[thebigfullforward]

Are you just allowed to take a tap and go from anywhere now then? He was about 10 yards away from the player that was fouled and was given a free chance of getting forward. Player hands it back and he's straight through, player doesn't hand it back and it's brought forward 50m

[JoG2]

What was the foul for near the very end that allowed Galway (with the aid of a 50m penalty) to get an equaliser?

[pbat]

What's the craic or rule about keeper dribbling out like Gleeson down twice tonight, even commentators struggles to explain

[GTP]

Ball can be touched repeatedly by the kicker out to the arch. I presume it is something someone thought of to help underage keepers. Attacker can still intercept defender can't collect.

Original kickout must travel 13 yards? I think?

[Armagh18]

"The player taking a kickout may kick the ball more than once before any other player touches it but may not take the ball into the hands"

[Captain Scarlet]

So the forward could jump as soon as he touched it. Keeper can't pick it up?

That's something that has no real benefits in my head.

I think it was brought it with an underage keeper in mind- if a kick was mishit and didn't clear the arc do defender could touch it but a forward could.

[GTP]

You can counter it by keeping a forward in the big arc. A keeper isn't going to dribble the ball out with someone 13m away ready to go. So any benefits, and I cant see any, would be short lived.

Yeah its a big risk for little or no reward. Although if a team leaves a forward inside in theory it should be easier to free a defender up for a short.

[Smokin Joe]

I presume Gleeson did it to try to draw a Dublin forward towards him so he could pass to the space that was now created?
I think that can be the only advantage from doing the little dribble.

[Dreadnought]

So it was announced over the tannoy at Mayo Cavan that the hooter would not be in use for the game as it was not televised. Look, we all know this is madness and it has been discussed before.

But also there was a black card during the game, Neary for Mayo got a black just before half time, and with a lot of stoppages and injury time, he was back just after the start of the 2nd half. Isn't it genuinely madness that in games in the same group, a black card in one game with a hooter will mean 10 actual game minutes, and a black card with no hooter can be run down when there are injuries or on other times when the clock would usually be stopped. I just cannot get over how they fumbled the hooter with this to make games so different

I cannot understand the hooter rule when it was in place for the entire league and now they think it should be only used in televised games.

The black card is 10 minutes from issue and that keeps ticking even when there is a clock and it is stoped for injuries.

It should always have been a player is off for a full ten minutes regardless of injuries and subs, I was never for that when it came out and nothing has changed to say anything different, and this example makes it even more stupid..
