Replying To WanPintWin:  "Fouls on attacking players. The free Galway had last night was for a Roscommon player taking too long to take his own free. A two point free for that seems extremely harsh. Likewise for fouling the ball, such as over carrying, touching it on the ground etc."
Yes I don't think the Roscommon player fouled the ball. 7 seconds I counted from the moment the whistle was blown to then getting penalised.

Replying To eoinog:  "You can't have different levels of frees.
A free outside the arc is a 2 pointer if scored.
You can't have different layers."
There's different layers of frees already, indirect frees for certain issues. It wouldn't be too hard to make fouling the ball offences one point frees only. Simple enough to apply.

Make sure to touch it on ground outside the arc.....

Those technical fouls should be indirect free kicks.
