Dosent look too bad, better then I was expecting from the design "gurus" at O'Neills who usually make a hames of these things.

Well I suppose I should put my own ideas forward...
1. The inter-county championship season in both hurling and football to be condensed between June and September.
2. Extra time to apply to all inter-county championship games in football and hurling except All-Ireland Semi Finals and Final.
3. The GAC and provincial councils to set out dates for inter-county championships no later than the end of January, with the county boards to have theirs for club games set by the start of March. Failure of county boards to publish their fixture lists in time, or to not follow their own dates for club games except for very good reasons will see them being fined and possibly docked points in the forthcoming national league.
4. A player sent off in a game through two bookable offences misses the next game of the competition they are playing in.

It's not rocket science but I hope there's hard and fast rules laid down, along with real punishments, firmly dictating the maximum number of weeks a county board can leave its club players idle for even if its county team is still active in the championship. Players should only be quarantined by a county manager in the week before a county championship game IMO.
Heavy penalties should be incurred by any county board stepping out of line, such as expulsion from competitions, whatever it takes.
This one change would do so much for the club players.

The sin-bin is one that could work well after some teething problems to start with. It would help cut down on a lot of cynical fouling.

I've had a go this year. The idea being that if players/teams escape sanction on the grounds of a silly technicality, then the sanction can be re-applied with procedures correctly followed. It would stop stupid appeals on nitpicking grounds (I hope) because people would realise that either the evidence is in their favour or else they will eventually have to serve an appropriate punishment, rather than escape because the appropriate committee read the ref's report before a cup of coffee rather than after it.
Here's my wording, though if anyone has a better way of phrasing it, feel free to try and put it through your own clubs.
