Great idea actually. Also cut the size out the panel on matchday down to say 22 aswell. That will cut costs aswell. I'd love to see this brought in now but only at county level. Games would open up so much more during the last 20 mins. You'd have 6 extra players on the pitch between both teams that would be normally subbed off. They'd be tired and that would allow the game to open up a lot more. Bring this in please GAA.

great idea,can we reduce it to 11 a side too because presume having 15 players suits dublin too?

the only change i would make to substitutions is i would make the game go on while they are being made.the sub cant come on until the player comes off the field.the nonsense of stopping the game for a minute or two,while the sub who has just been told to go to the other side of the field saunters off,has to end.

it helps the weaker teams because the likes of the Dubs cant say to lads. run yourselves into the ground for 40-50 minutes. then we'll bring on 6 fresh lads of the same standard.
almost every other county will struggle to have 15 good enough, so when they go down into their bench there is a big drop off in standard creating a bigger mismatch in the DUbs in the last quarter.
on Sunday if it was 3 substitutions that would have meant they only had 2 left after Cian OSullivan went off
centerfield (Mayo) - Posts: 222 - 06/09/2018 21:57:14 It doesnt help weaker sides though. Dubs will still have strength in depth and you are causing issues with players and injuries making more player for full 70. And the dubs no matter how good bench are are not bringing 6 fresh guys of the same standard.

There are some utterly ridiculous statements on this thread. One person reckons banning time wasting sub's in the last 5 mins. Who decides what's tactical and what's just timewasting?
Reduce to 3 sub's? Anyone consider the knock on effect this would have on numbers playing in clubs and at underage level? In fact I'd increase to 10 sub's for all club underage matches and increase to 8 sub's for senior intercounty hurling and football, but I'd also increase playing time to 40 mins per half.
890202 (Wexford) - Posts: 941 - 06/09/2018 22:34:57 Id make bench smaller with never more than 25/26 and have rolling subs of 10-12 with a time limit on blood subs so as to stop them being an extra sub.
Why does playing time need to be extended and what would be benefit of it?

Jack_Goff (Meath) - Posts: 2025 - 07/09/2018 08:28:02Why should match day squads be 22? What would you see as a breakdown of positions on a bench with 22 players and would it really reduce costs that much or at least enough for it to be worthwhile.
