Gaelic Football - Rules & Regulations discussion/clarification

[Captain Scarlet]

I don't think we should be changing things a huge amount because the teams who will always be cagey are finding ways to be cagey under new rules.

The club games in Kildare have been so much better. There have been some dire finals in recent years where teams who could actually rattle Naas went so so negative.

I do agree a 2 point free for certain things is a bit harsh but they are not a gimme in open play, so I would be keen to keep that.

Would be impossible to implement but "taking on a man" after X number of hand passes could help avoid stagnation.

Ie you have to get past an opponent to "earn" another phase of passing, with danger of being over turned.

I noticed Tipp got a 2 pointer yesterday, when  a shot from outside the arc bounced  a few yards from goal, before going over  the bar.

I thought the ball had to go  straight over from the kick?

Think its now as long as not touched by an attacking player it's a 2 pointer.

Attacking player is outaide the big D, kicks it in, tackled late, ball lands inside the big D, normally its from where the ball landed but in this case can the free taker bring it back outside to go for 2 points?

Any free that happens outside the big D can be taken from there, so if the foul was off the ball after being kicked in, he has the options, from where it landed or back to the original

Interesting, only seen it happen the once, ref didnt give the 2 point option

The biggest shock was that the ball actually bounced so high considering the shít weather we've been having.

It happened in the Galway v Armagh game in the championship last year. You have the option of where it lands or the original spot of the foul. You can't take it out like you can a free moved 50 yards and just stop where you like. If that makes sense
