The experimental three hand pass rule was very much under the microscope this past weekend...
Leitrim midfielder sent off in Carrick, as he’s walking off , play resumes someone passes to him and he kicks the equalising point ..... and now there’s a penalty shoot out ... couldn’t make it up 😂😂😂😂 @ConnachtGAA

Donegal blown up twice in the first 15 minutes for a fourth hand pass while trying to break down a packed Down defence.. Down denied a great goalscoring chance because the forward made the right decision and slipped a 4th hand pass. Get rid & let the game evolve naturally please!

There’s no doubt it has to go but the fact it got passed in the first place is a bigger question to answer. https://t.co/xvzDaQwTug

Seani was always my favourite Rossie and it was a dream come true to play with him. Always the true leader in the dressing room and on the pitch and when he spoke there was clean silence. An amazing teammate. You make us all proud to be from Roscommon. Thank you @SeanieMac84

Great battles with this man over the years. Got the better of me more times than not..probably every time realistically. Pleasure to have played with him too. Legend off the pitch more importantly. Enjoy retirement @SeanieMac84 #seaniemcandsides
