Some lad in the Laois Hurling Championship scored 1-02 from puckouts; whilst this is an amazing skill it makes a bit of a farce of the game

Easy way to change it, if it becomes too regular - make a rule that you can't score direct from a puckout.

It does indeed leave things a little farcical but I can't see it becoming a regular thing

There were 3 contributory factors in this case

Enda Rowland's exceptional ball striking
A strong breeze
A short pitch

But it's a simple fix tbf

Haven't seen it but I have seen where the puck out goes to fullback who handpasses straight to keeper who'll launch the ball from his 21right into the square.

I'm with you though marty, not difficult to enforce a rule on scoring direct from a puck out

What you've described there isn't direct from the puck out though, so how do you legislate against that?

Enda Rowland is well known for his long puck and it looks like he'd a bit of wind at his back.

Blame the opposition who were happy to sit deep and allow it to happen.

I don't think you'd need to legislate

The opposition would have to set up accordingly

It would be some weapon to have though

Like I said I didn't see it but have seen the keeper score with the wind at his back. The fix is simple but its rare enough, I'd say though if it gets plenty of views on social media they'll look at it lol

Expecting the hurley crowd to enforce a rule.....

We tend to view them more as guidelines, but we're happy enough with that

As an added bonus - it really frustrates the life out you balloon men

Now away on and practice your forward marks there

We'll continue to use skill, intelligence,science etc while ye can keep belting the ball as far as ye can with big shticks which ye've widened over the years to ridiculous proportions.
I suppose it gives bucks who can't kick a ball some role in the GAA .

But it takes a skillful footballer to Kick a ball properly.

Anybody can play a tune on the Tin Whistle, few can play a tune pleasing to the ear.

If it's lying on the ground.....
But if it's flying through the air, judge where you might be able to catch it , do so in the middle of 3 or 4 others, dodge all sorts of challenges, tear away on a solo run and then kick it over the bar on the run.

When you see some would you let the GAA know?

I didn't know that kicking was still a thing in football

Does anyone know how many rule changes there were before the early 2000's and since then?
