RTE Podcast panel seems to conclude that awarding 2 points for frees not fair on Monaghan's opponents because Rory Beggan kicks them so easily LOL Shelbourne1 (Monaghan) - Posts: 396 - 31/03/2025 19:48:36 2599808 Link 1 |

GAA pundits are so reactive and illogical when quality players like Beggan take advantage of new possibilities in the rules to gain a competitive advantage (especially if they're from an Ulster county). The relentless pressure on finding ways to get goalies back into their nets when Beggan, Morgan etc. started developing their skills and changing the game, was so dumb. It reminded me of people roaring "kick it!", "kick it!" at young lads whenever possession football was developing, and obviously more effective then lumping it forward into 40/60 contests. Beggan needs to keep doing what he's doing. It's up to other teams to quit fouling in that area, and that might give our forwards a bit more space to get off their shots from play or make breaks inside.

Kicking 2 poiner frees is a fabulous skill and it's a big incentive to stop fouling from distance. Furthermore, the argument seems to go that the 2 pointed free is almost as good as a goal. Well, why not increase a goal to 4 points and then that argument is dissolved ? Or maybe Monaghan are too good at scoring goals too ........LOL

The two point free outside of the arc has to be maintained, or otherwise, with a team trailing by 1 or 2 points with time nearly up, there will be tactical fowling outside the arc to not allow them get a 2 pointer. The level of puditry at times on these podcosts leaves a lot to be desired and I normally enjoy the RTE GAA one but the three pundits seem to have missed that point. The argument they gave for the screamer of an offaly goal only meriting 3 points was valid but should it be worth more then a guy fisting in a goal from a rebound at close range ? maybe they need to award 3 points for a goal scored from inside the 13m line and 4 points for a goal scored from outside the 20m line.. that'd solve their problem.. :) or just leave it as it is, we have enough rules at thie point.

The 4pt goal would have been great and was again abandoned in a reactive way after a few articles and grumbles after the trial games with the provinces. Think it should have been kept, but the 2pters are a huge addition, and add loads to the game. And a goal is still a huge swing in a match.

I am a Monaghan man and like alot of Monaghan folk outside the barony of farney ( which is located in south east Monaghan) I do not like Monaghan being referred to as the English invention Farney. Baronies are an English invention . I prefer the ballybetaghs that existed prior to the barony Monaghan have left behind 1 or 2 Ulster titles since 2015. Our aim should be to try and win Ulster and then take it from there . We have never won Sam so not sure 2025:is going to change that.
