Inter-Provincial Series showcasing new rules..

[ONeill]

I thought there'd be a 3-figure scoreboard. 4-2-1.

[tyrone08]

An October challenge game was never going to be an intense classic but these rules are well worth trying out. Anyone who thinks the game hasn't been in a dire state is either in huge denial or totally deluded...
Is early days

Its tactics and management which is the problem not the actual game or rules. Gaa far better to invest in training coaches and refs at all levels than changing rules dramatically.

Keep the tap and go free and quick kick out and do away with the rest

[ONeill]

Unless you shoot coaches, tactics won't veer towards a more open competitive game unless the rules dictate it.

Thats what I thought too

[Nanderson]

Maybe I'm reading too much out of one match that was total mis-match but I think those new rules if introduced into the 2025 season will produce bigger thumpings to weaker teams.  I'm  all for adjustments to make games more enjoyable to watch but you need matches to be competitive decided on fine margins more often than not for that to be the case.

New rules wont be in until 2026 if passed

No Hawkeye tonight?

This +1 if these games were played with the current rules the flow would be the exact same. It's exhibition stuff with the players just playing football and not worrying about a system. This will not happen in proper games.

Will be in for 2025 I believe if voted in at congress in a few weeks.

At least 5 or 6 occasions so far  where the 3v3 inside the 50  isn't happening

[full moon]

The whistle is so loud with the microphone! It's all very Aussie rules

[pbat]

GAA should have offered the winning province an all expenses trip or some other perk and it might have injected a bit of bite into it. If tomorrow nights as poor as tonight be interest how Marty and Ger spin the GAA line that these are the saviour of the association.

structure
Football Review Committee chairman Jim Gavin explains the rationale behind the new 3v3 structure, which will see teams keeping at least three players in the opposition half at all times

They only need to be in the attacking  half. Had to go look that up.

[gallsman]

When were 15 minute quarters with a countdown clock and a hooter mentioned.

[Blowitupref]

Aidan O'Shea after the first game and Ryan McHugh at the end of the 1st quarter of the 2nd game reckon we don't need 4 points for a goal and two pointers.

[Saffron_sam20]

Mchugh saying bout how much more kicking there is. He's missing the point in that they are being encouraged to kick the ball, the managers are the people who tell players not to kick the ball in as too much chance of not keeping possession, if you put these rules on the Tyrone final on Sunday there wouldn't be the same amount of kicking
