As long as the bra isn't padded, let play continue.

OK, let's say he  had no bra on .. then what?

Should the  referee have  sent him to get a new jersey ? Given a yellow card?

Next break in play would be fine, but you must play with a numbered jersey..

It was the start when players are 'getting to know' each other, I don't think it was a biggie, but I'd assume the rule would be, stop play, team in possession has indirect free.

He didn't rip his own shirt off so be a bit hard to yellow card him, had he refused to put it on then yes, same goes for gum shields, or coming on to play without permission

I have noted that Niall Morgan sometimes wears like a training top as his goalkeeper jersey with no number on it in intercounty games, but he gets away with it.  That surprised me.

But then perhaps it is like where there is a jersey clash and the keep just pulls on a vest and that has no number either?

A motion will go before GAA Congress next February requiring counties to attain a new high-performance licence to run their county teams. The move is part of efforts by Croke Park to tackle the "unsustainable" costs associated with team preparation.

The finer details of the proposal, which will be put forward by the GAA's Amateur Status Review Committee, are still being finalised. It will mark the first significant regulatory step towards creating a certification model under which all counties would have to operate.

The total spend on preparing county teams reached €43.35 million in 2024. Already this year, several counties have reported team costs in excess of €2 million – including Tipperary, Cork, Limerick, Kerry, Donegal and Galway.

Speaking about the matter when appearing at the Joint Committee on Arts, Media, Communications, Culture and Sport on Wednesday, GAA president Jarlath Burns said the spiralling costs are a significant concern for the association.

The committee was convened to discuss the integration process with regard to the GAA, the Ladies Gaelic Football Association and the Camogie Association. However, Burns responded to the team-costs issue when the matter was raised by committee chairman Alan Kelly.

"Up until now, the GAA is a governance organisation when we didn't have a regulatory power," said Burns. "So, at Congress we have a new proposal that will redefine what it means to be an amateur athlete at elite level.


"But it is also going to obligate counties to apply for a high-performance licence to run their county teams.

"Under which is going to be populated with lots of things, which is going to have a greater framework around the close season, around the amount of money being spent, particularly given the interest the Revenue have shown in matters around the payment of people who are around county teams. We hope by that evolutionary process, we will start to get costs down."

Yesterday in the Hyde one of our defenders under pressure passed the ball back to tge keeper.
However he knew he couldn't touch it and shepherded the ball over the end line for a 45.
If the goalie had caught or kicked the ball in the small square is it a penalty?

Just a free from where he collects the ball, penalties are physical fouls in The square or if a defender lifts the ball off the deck in the small square

[Rossfan]

Only a pick up or any "ball fouls" in small square?
e.g too many steps, 2 hops or yesterday's scenario?

No just pick up, touch ball on ground it's the only technical foul I think lol
