Iâd happily have a penalty for any denial of a goalscoring opportunity if a player is fouled. Why wouldnât anybody pull a player down with the current rules? I certainly would. You play the rules that are there; if they were more penal, playersâ behaviour will change.
The problem is that if they did change the rule, there would undoubtedly be some soft penalties given in some league game early in the year and there would be uproar in the media from certain mouthpieces and the rule would probably be reversed, and back to cynicism.
No itâs not. First few minutes of the all Ireland final a Waterford player turns for goal and Hannon chops him down. Thereâs no real skill In that and he stops a Clear goal scoring chance. Itâs not fair on the attacking team.
Itâll be class when they change the rules and Limerick start going for goals, imagine the bleating out of Tipp when we bang in three in the first half
Yep sure youâd be mad not to do it. Completely favours the defender imo. Need to increase the punishment or itâll end up like football when everybody was being dragged down.
Yep dunno why people get so defensive about it. Imo the rules should favour the attacker not the defenders. Itâs tough enough at the moment for attackers to score goals with so many double marked.
