An interesting topic. There has been a lot of chopping and changing of the rules lately. A lot of this has made the game an inferior product both to play and watch (forward mark and water breaks spring to mind). I think if you treated the handpass like a bounce (you cant have two handpasses in a row) it would improve the game. It would encourage the return of kick passing and also reintroduce an element of risk taking and excitement with a battle to win the kick pass. I know the 5 handpass limit was trialled before but I think having the ref having to count to 5 caused more confusion that anything. A lot easier to remember you cant do two in a row.

Nonsense. Go get the ball back with a high press. If you are not good enough to do it then tough luck. The short advanced mark needs to change but that's about it. TheFlaker (Mayo) - Posts: 7889 - 24/05/2021 18:38:21 2345101 Link 6 |

An 8 pass rule? I suppose the ref has nothing else to be watching out for. Give him something to do wouldnt it... SaffronDon (Antrim) - Posts: 2385 - 24/05/2021 19:03:52 2345117 Link 1 |
Agreed. As much as I don't like the overuse of the hand pass the pitch is the same size for everyone. All we have is two teams afraid to turn to a plan B or be more adventurous with the tactics. Hardly a need to make more rule changes to the ridiculous amount already passed at Congress over the last number of years.

This rule or the no passing back into your own half would ensure every team drops 15 players back behind the ball when not in poession. It ould only reward playing the blanket defence bad.monkey (USA) - Posts: 4624 - 24/05/2021 19:35:29 2345131 Link 0 |
Think again Breffni40/Tonguey, think again.

It's obvious that all these lads advocating the excessive use of the lowest "skill" in the game, either never played or were very poor footballers, ditch players. AfricanGael (UK) - Posts: 1947 - 24/05/2021 19:52:07 2345147 Link 1 |
I'm all for teams continuing to drop players back into their defense, while usually in the process of losing the game at the time.. genius stuff jimbodub (Dublin) - Posts: 20600 - 24/05/2021 19:55:36 2345150 Link 5 |
There's no point lumping a long ball into an area that's been flooded with opposition players hoping to force turn overs in the hope of then counter attackingr There's no point over committing and running into swarm tackles to then be countered. I'm sure someone that understands the use of italics and bold functions on an Internet forum is aware of Newton's Third Law.. There are two tactics at play and as such "Every action has an equal and opposite reaction". Dublins reaction has been extremely successful jimbodub (Dublin) - Posts: 20600 - 24/05/2021 20:09:28 2345155 Link 3 |
Or just don't agree with you!

I don't know why so many here are against the advanced mark. For a start it's rare that you would get more than 2-3 in a game, if it was as easy to do as lads make out it would be happening alot more often. It also seems to be forcing teams to go a bit more man to man, which encourages kick passing. I know a simple catch in the chest from a 20 yard pass and then kicking a score from the mark isn't hugely attractive, but a full forward catching a great ball and being surrounded by 4 defenders and getting blown up for over carrying isn't a great watch either.

Since 2003 Dublin have addressed their own failures hand in hand with The GAA who asked Dublin what they wanted, how much it would cost and when Dublin would have their blueprints (no pun intended) ready so as The GAA could fund it indefinitely. Dublin have been reaping the rewards ever since and you can't blame them jimbo.

That's fair enough, it might work at inter county level with all the officials, but at club level a referee has enough to be doing without having to count passes?

"Dublin addressed their own short comings without looking to tie together our oppositions boot laces." Yeah. To the tune of about €17million and counting! cavanman47 (Cavan) - Posts: 5012 - 24/05/2021 20:35:54 2345172 Link 7 |
But those defensive duals are an attractive part of the game and they're dying out with this advanced mark rule. The art of man marking has been dealt a serious blow and I think that takes away from the game more than a player winning the ball and having to think fast like an elite player should. Its a few less stops to a game ever increasing with stoppages when it used to be known for its fast free flowing nature which is a great selling point for the game that we're losing.
