It’s interesting for a solo, but I couldn’t see it leading to more accurate kicking and if you deliberately setout to coach it for the solo I’d imagine players will follow it through into the kick. I don’t think you need to be as regimented on those things in football (compared to hurling) if a lad is doing an alternative method well.
I had a lad underage who had some sort of a condition and he developed a scoop pick up with his foot (basically scooped the ball up to knee height) it was effective for him.
Being able to hop with both hands and solo with both feet gives the player much more scope & freedom to…find a gap & turn backwards to recycle the ball instead of attacking, as we see in this clip. Great football.
I used to kick like that as a young lad but it was coached out of me,the other way makes you much more accurate.Solo is different though,being able to solo off either foot is a great skill as it will make it tougher to be tackled if you can solo the ball on either side depending which side the defender is on.
If its two of the big three then it might be technically allowed but there’s no way it should be. I’d imagine if it was raised with the co. Board they would not allow it.
If it’s Chairman and Pro or something, then it’s probably grand.
Yeah its Chairman and the highly revered position of Registrar, mightn’t fill the position if it was sent out for expressions of interest but concept of double dipping a view/vote seems corrupt.
Your executive committee can still have up to 21 members (by the default constitution), so even if the chairman has two roles you can still have someone else sitting on the executive committee who doesn’t have a specific job to balance the voting if needed.
I never wore a gumshield bar when I’d give the ref some helpful advice and then he’d threaten to book me for no gumshield, so you’d have to pop it in for a few minutes.
They only ever enforce the rule when you’ve pissed them off.
