Yeah I agree it looks terrible. I would love to see it confined to a closed fist. Also they should ban fisting the ball over the bar. Another rule which would be great would be a ban on kicking the ball back across your own 45. Also in camogie, they should ban the handpass goal and being able to drop your hurl, they both look terrible. HurlingSnob (Dublin) - Posts: 220 - 17/07/2017 21:04:28 2018370 Link 0 |

Don't care for it myself. Would like all goals to be scored with the boot or deflected in from a footpass. Don't like basketball or volleyball on a Gaelic pitch. Pericles (Mayo) - Posts: 2521 - 17/07/2017 21:34:25 2018383 Link 1 |

should have to be one-handed, closed-fisted, and must come from a kick-pass, not a handpass. It's Gaelic FOOTball after all. Cockney_Cat (UK) - Posts: 2447 - 17/07/2017 22:19:44 2018404 Link 2 |

Shouldn't get rid of something just because it doesn't look good. It takes skill to work the ball into a scoreable position, it takes skill for the attacker to get away from the defender, it takes skill to direct the ball into the net and it takes skill to beat the keeper. monaghan90 (Monaghan) - Posts: 8 - 17/07/2017 22:36:39 2018410 Link 3 |

Jesus we are never happy. Some awful rubbish being posted on here. Easy seeing there are not too many people actively involved in our games that just want to see random changes brought in so they can enjoy it more from the couch. TheFlaker (Mayo) - Posts: 7885 - 17/07/2017 22:50:27 2018417 Link 3 |

Don't mind the slaps but I hate the ones that are verging on catching the thing and throwing it. Almost like a spike in volleyball. benjyyy (Donegal) - Posts: 1422 - 17/07/2017 23:21:05 2018429 Link 0 |

No, but there should be a foot involved in the execution i.e. the fisted goal cannot come from a handpass. Like I said in my original post. Thanks for the anatomy lesson though.

Daft. I'm actively involved in the game and think the act of a player practically throwing the ball into the net from a handpass is something that goes against the ethos and aesthetics of the game.

And it takes real skill and killer instinct from an attacker who will palm the ball into the net, rather than waste the split second trying to kick a goal that could allow a goalie or defender a better chance to block the ball.

Except the player isn't throwing the ball into the net and it's been part of the ethos and aesthetics of the game for a very long time.

Complete nonsense. Paul Mannions overhead hand slap goal against Kerry a few years ago is one the great goals. If a team works the ball into the position that the ball can be palmed into the net then they deserve a goal.Why should the team who put all the work to gte the ball into that position be punished by having to slow up and kick the ball into the net thereby giving the defence more of a chance. The GAA seems to be the only sport where apparently is some aspect of it doesn't "look good" then that thing should be stopped.A five yard pass in soccer doesn't really look good either it's just a basic basic skill should it be got rid of.I'm all for changing rules to improve the game but a rule change should actually provide a benefit or fix and issue (like the mark has done) and not be brought in because something doesn't look good, particularly in this instance when palming a ball into the net looks fine. Not every single part of the sport has to look really skilful and that applies to every sport in the world. uibhfhaili1986 (Offaly) - Posts: 1296 - 18/07/2017 08:09:41 2018476 Link 3 |

Yes it is FOOTball. Why not go even further and stop players touching the ball with their HANDs at all - what is this RUGBY!! No feet only, KICK passes only. And in that case why do we need fifteen players, eleven should be enough!. And whats with points!?- it is more skillful and artistic to score GOALS - feet only no slaps remember! - and the pitch is way too big if you can't hand pass up and across it like rugby league...

It's not a throw, some people on here seem to be happy if it is changed to a closed fist, as if that looks great, just pointless stuff.

Aww here. This is the type of lamentable stuff there should really be an Internet filter for. Maybe players should get down on their hands and knees and nod the ball home from a yard out like the p**s takers do at my weekly game of astro?

Think of the conundrum for Hawkeye-like-technology (HLT) though deciding if it was a fully closed fist.

Ridiculous. While it may not be the same as a 20 yard screamer its usually made from hard work and teamwork, a selfless pass maybe. And underage it encourages kids to pass the ball to score and not to be greedy. We give out when the suits in charge tinker with the rules so leave well alone id say

when a player is taking the momentum out of a ball's trajectory and redirecting it he is essentially catching the ball, albeit momentarily.
