Replying To Seanfanbocht: "They could borrow them from the LGFA who seem to have no problem getting hooters. If you want something done right ask a woman....." Lol …. You are right there Sean ForeverBlue2 (Cavan) - Posts: 4065 - 29/05/2025 12:31:38 2613423 Link
Some of these ridiculous new rules need to be ditched immediately… Games are just gone stop start all the time and it's weighted totally in favour of forwards…. Games have flipped from it being impossible for a forward to play to being impossible for a defender to defend…that can't be right ..The change to the hooter system ( because of a referee error ) is also silly and teams are now just hand passing the ball around for 2/3 minutes at the end to run the clock down… it's woefully boring to watch.. The 50m penalty is also ridiculous and then players can bring the ball back out and attempt one of these silly 2 pointers… It's just not Gaelic football anymore ForeverBlue2 (Cavan) - Posts: 4065 - 02/06/2025 11:07:52 2614244 Link
There will be no change in rules until the end of the championship. Your going to have to suffer on until the end of July and then another 5 months of club championship - with a bit more next year if the Universities do what they did this year and stick to the previous years rules. tirawleybaron (Mayo) - Posts: 1445 - 03/06/2025 17:08:10 2614642 Link
A lot of these ridiculous new rules starting to be questioned all over the place… Handing the ball back like a spoiled child at a birthday party is just embarrassing… the inside mark where a forward gets 2 goes at scoring is another example of stupidity… The 2 point scores that's only inflating scores and leading to wild pot shots that would never be taken on in a normal football match… ForeverBlue2 (Cavan) - Posts: 4065 - 08/06/2025 10:49:43 2615705 Link
The midfield mark has got out of hand now altogether - another bad call in the minors (Mayo v Offaly) at the weekend. In that one, the player stood up with his hands in the air - the player in possession bumped against him, got passed uninterrupted. The ref then gives a free 50m further up - Mayo bring it back outside the arc and kick a 2 pointer. Offaly went from a point up to a point down for nothing. Saying that, this one wasn't a rule problem - it was a bad refereeing problem tirawleybaron (Mayo) - Posts: 1445 - 09/06/2025 15:40:18 2616159 Link

Perhaps make the midfield mark indirect? brianb (Kildare) - Posts: 466 - 10/06/2025 10:21:50 2616313 Link
