I live in rural Ireland and will be attending 2 club
Gaa matches this weekend while you will be above in Croke Park chewing Sardines.

I won’t be in croke park. If you offered me a 1000 euro to go I wouldn’t.

You hate the clubs and want a 12 month inter county season with endless round robins and super 8s.

Similar to the current advantage rule in a lot of ways - how many times does a player get half fouled going through, gets a free shot from 10 yards which he makes a mess of or the keeper makes a good save, and the play still gets brought back for a free - its way over rewarding as you say.

I like the element of decision making thats there at the minute where the attacker who gets the mark can either gamble and ‘play on’ if he wishes, but if he messes it up, there are consequences. I don’t like the idea of a ‘free play’ in sport at all. Very Rubbyish.

Play on with advantage for a mark is a complete joke.

In AFL if you so much as blink to indicate you’re playing on after taking a mark, your mark is gone, you’ve played on.

The GAA now propose a complete joke of a rule to make worse a rule that was a complete joke in the first place.

The whole thing is doomed really. Jim has been too radical.

Imagine one week the score in the Hurling All Ireland is TEAM A 2-12 to 0-19 TEAM B with TEAM B the winners. The following week in football the same scoreline see’s TEAM A as the winner.

The general public aren’t going to put up with that. A scoring system that has stood for over 100 years and served us well doesn’t need to be ripped up.

[BruidheanChaorthainn]

Change for changes sake

[Cheasty]

The scoring system would have to change to total points like in AFL.

Personally I think there’s a good case to go back to the rules exactly as they were in say, 1995.

All these rule changes have ended up making the sport like the Homer car.

Perez has them like sausages in a pan

[myboyblue]

Tis only a trial lads.

@BruidheanChaorthainn

Like every decision in the modern gaa these football changes are suited to help the powerhouses.

As your against absolutely everything they’re trying to do how’s about you flesh out a few rules that would benefit the Carlows/Longfords/Antrims and Wexford footballers to win an all Ireland

[binkybarnes]

@BruidheanChaorthainn

An all Ireland without Kerry or Dublin and suddenly
A raft of proposals to help them win.

Ah here

[Halfpipe]

Like lads convincing themselves the black card was brought in as a response to Sean Cavanaghs nonsense.

Every single rule change will just benefit the powerhouses. The professional set ups. The counties with the most money.

The best thing about sport surely is the chance of the upset. By creating endless games you already have given huge advantages to the bigger counties.

I don’t really enjoy the Gaa social life which includes Dublin horse show types and day trippers. Prefer the grassroots scene myself.

You hate club gaa and rural Ireland. It’s super 8s and round robins you are only interested in.

You’d rather clubs fold than let them have a proper season.

[Arthur]

This is surely one of the best ever internet ball hops. To be using the exact wording of one sides argument against them and have lads taking the bait again and again.

@Batigol

but I don’t remember a huge amount of upsets over the last few years.

Armagh and Tyrone have won All-Ireland’s in recent years. Galway reaching two finals has been a very positive development too. I’d say the football championship is the most open it’s been since 2010. Add in the likes of Cavan and Tipp winning provincial championships in 2020 and it’s not been awful. Dublin coming back to the pack has been great for football.

[BruidheanChaorthainn]

20 and 21 were both different formats that really gave counties a chance.

2020 was a sensational one results wise.

It’s amazing what happens when you give counties a fair chance.

He takes no prisoners when it comes to bullshit.

[Galaxy]

The biggest argument from those in favour of the split season seems to be so the players know when they can go on holidays.
Ffs any county players you see on social media are on holidays more than they’re working. If they’re not dubrovnik or Prague, they’re in Rome or Lisbon with the gal pal.
Did players not go on holidays when all Irelands were in September. I’d be pretty sure they did.

[myboyblue]

Club players. Not county players.
