To get close to the hype that was promised by FRC and all those in the media who was backing them and placing their trust in them.

No need to stick ones head in the sand. To have more better games in the knockout stages last year under the old rules was not a good look at all after the amount of change.

Quote from: trueblue1234 on August 10, 2025, 01:18:00 PMSo roughly 48% what to keep the rules or a close version of it. And 52% want significant change or abandoned. I'm fairly surprised by that to be honest. Thought there would have been stronger support given the discussions on here.

like I said   a few days ago - Divided.

I think there no need for a 2pters free answer I rather a 2pter from play have to be from behind the 45, otherwise happy with most of the rest.The black card and not been fit to play just 2 up front during this spell i also think too big a handicap. Do u have to keep 3 up on a red card, to me thats too much.

So last year, bad games = rules are shite. This year bad games = teams are shite? Ok.

3 out of 4 quarter finals, 2 semis and a final were not good games by any stretch of the imagination...

You're right I can't see us going back unfortunately.

They were one-sided. The All Ireland final last year was close and had about 5 minutes excitement at the end. An endurance test... #chess

A lot of what the new rules was sold on didn't really happen once we got the do or die championship matches this summer.

The standard and overall quality of this year's All-Ireland series matches in Croke Park was average to poor.  While HQ and FRC won't admit that in public they are currently working away with sandbox games to see which adjustment will improve things for the 2026 All-Ireland series.

Personally I'd get rid of two pointers before adding 4 pointer goals as appears to be the next step.

It's a fair opinion to have but it doesn't mean that all of the rule changes have improved the game. It is possible that binning some of them would improve the game further.

To a degree yes.

Two points for a shot outside the 40m line means an increased incentive to shoot from lower % areas, more difficult shots taken on which means more wides.

I'm definitely enjoying football again, but the statement above could v well be true. I'll start with the longer kickouts, into room 101 with it, and 2 pointers from frees, and the 50m punishment. Keep the rest 👌

And handing the ball back, just set it on the ground if the guy is more than a metre away. If he's right at you, hand it over as its within arms length
