The discussion and explanation regarding the kickout, ie player could retrieve it inside the 20 meter line, was news to me to be honest, I always though it not the case. It got me thinking about another rule I'd read and re-read many times, but I'm not sure I've ever seen it allowed, always penalised. m_the_d (None) - Posts: 1099 - 31/08/2015 21:09:07 1779462 Link 0 |
One of the lesser known rules alright. if_in_doubt (Kildare) - Posts: 3685 - 01/09/2015 09:20:31 1779552 Link 0 |
(ii)Any player who falls or is knocked to the ground while in possession of the ball may fist or palm the ball away on the ground, and may score by so doing. hill16no1man (Dublin) - Posts: 12665 - 01/09/2015 09:55:27 1779579 Link 0 |
He has to be in possession of the ball - i.e. on his backside with the ball in his hands. That isn't punching it on the ground, that is him on the ground with the ball in his hands. TheMaster (Mayo) - Posts: 16187 - 01/09/2015 09:58:27 1779584 Link 0 |
I think Master is right on this one. BIG SACKS (Tyrone) - Posts: 1681 - 01/09/2015 10:29:12 1779626 Link 0 |
I though that too, regarding sitting on the ground say. But the rule is about touching the ball on the ground, and this is an exception to the rule, ie the ball can be touched on the ground? m_the_d (None) - Posts: 1099 - 01/09/2015 10:33:05 1779630 Link 0 |
And thanks to if_in_doubt, about the referees input. I'd like to know more from that source, seems to be another very dodgy interpretation rule! m_the_d (None) - Posts: 1099 - 01/09/2015 10:34:58 1779634 Link 0 |
The other related one that people always get wrong is that lifting the ball from the ground between your knees is not allowed. You have to use the foot. roundball (Tipperary) - Posts: 2514 - 01/09/2015 10:43:56 1779640 Link 0 |

If a player is fairly tackled while in possession, falls to the ground and the ball spills in front of him, the player may play the ball on the ground with his hand / fist. If a score is achieved the score will be allowed. Torcaill (Australia) - Posts: 204 - 01/09/2015 11:35:24 1779710 Link 0 |
1.2 When the ball is on the ground, it may be played by any part of the body except the hand(s). It may be lifted off the ground with the feet. if_in_doubt (Kildare) - Posts: 3685 - 01/09/2015 11:51:46 1779736 Link 0 |
So yes, you can play the ball on the ground, and score, but be cautious of the ref not knowing this rule :) Torcaill (Australia) - Posts: 204 - 01/09/2015 11:53:06 1779740 Link 0 |
I've posted about this numerous times. It is a rule that I have never seen enforced once and I doubt 99% of people know about. benjyyy (Donegal) - Posts: 1422 - 01/09/2015 12:08:30 1779760 Link 0 |
Maybe Rory could put together and educational video on how this could effect a major championship match! m_the_d (None) - Posts: 1099 - 02/09/2015 09:18:41 1780371 Link 0 |
If the ball is on the ground you aren't in possession of it... You have to have the ball in your hands for this to apply. TheMaster (Mayo) - Posts: 16187 - 02/09/2015 09:29:58 1780381 Link 0 |
The meath sub goalie came on this year before play restarted, so there must be an exception. m_the_d (None) - Posts: 1099 - 02/09/2015 09:39:27 1780392 Link 0 |
There is an exception to the black card sub rule if its the keeper who receives it benjyyy (Donegal) - Posts: 1422 - 02/09/2015 10:01:40 1780414 Link 0 |

It will probably take a big incident before the media is brought in and people become aware of this rule. Likely one where a player does something legitimate, is penalised by the ref and then argues to the point of being sent off or something. But even then I'd say very few players are either a) aware of the rule or b) actually expect refs not to penalise it enough to put up an argument benjyyy (Donegal) - Posts: 1422 - 02/09/2015 11:37:21 1780504 Link 0 |
