All Ireland Championship 2025.

Why should such a infraction have a heavy punishment. Look how hard it is to work a goal for a measly 3pts, then u get that for 2, ridiculous! Teams tend to be chasing bck in a  line, haven't time to stop and look round them.

Because all a man has to do is count to 3.

Ffs it cannot be simpler to understand.

Football is better for the rule. Infinitely better

Ole Jurgen would been proud of that one!

Monaghan top the table and are into the All Ireland Quarter final after some battle.  Full time Monaghan 2-27 Down 1-26.

Gonna have to change that breach rule to just a free on the halfway line, it's a ridiculous punishment!

Yeah. Agree with that

Gonna have to change that breach rule to just a free on the halfway line, it's a ridiculous punishment!

It's the entire key to the new rules which is producing much better football to watch.

It's also undebatable. If you can't count to 3 then don't blame anyone else let alone the rules

There's a reason no other sport has this rule. In the heat of the moment when you're chasing a win you aren't going to be thinking straight. If there's a single other sport that's stupid enough to have a rule like that I'd love to hear it. Stopping players from getting forward is such a backwards idea

The "read the rule book" excuse is such a load of horseshit. If it was that easy not to make a honest mistake we should send off every player who over-carry's, touches the ball on the ground or double bounces. Then guys like yourself could say "sure it's easy to count to 2".

Punishments have to be commensurate with the rule breach, we've lost complete sight of that in football.

That Monaghan Down game would have been a slugfest last season. Jim Gavin had saved this sport!

[Main Street]

Some game, I wouldn't have thought on the  50th min that Monagahn would win it as easily as they did (relatively speaking) in the end. Down visibly tired in the last 1/4 and things went more right for Monaghan.

No. What we have is a really enjoyable sport to watch, and one of the least ambiguous rules we now have that helped make this happen is you have to keep 3 up. It's the cornerstone of the changes. f**k around with that and you end up quickly back where we were.

Watching watching all these games, am starting to wonder if there's a proper man marking defender in the country!

Been trained and Zone marked out of them!

Result Louth 2-17 Clare 2-14.   Louth finish 3rd Clare out.

Just like the new mark rule it'll be binned. People aren't idiots.

Yet in the heat of the moment we expect referees to think completely straight? But players don't have to think at all?

Also it wasn't a penalty for "getting forward" as you suggest. It was a penalty for breaking the rules.

Sure Coldrick couldn't enforce the rules already in place and he's one of the best refs in the business. See it almost every game at club level at least once that it's not called. It doesn't work and it slows the game down

Where did I even suggest that it's reasonable to assume anyone would be thinking straight? Down had the ball going forward. One of their 3 mistakenly crossed the line. Was he going up the field for the craic or something lol? Was he going up the pitch to talk to someone in the crowd or was he going up there to get forward? Don't be silly lol
