Pbad
Rule: The hand pbad will be limited to three before the ball is hit
Why the proposed change? Since 2011, there has been an increase of more than 100 manual pbades per game (251 vs. 359) at the inter-county level. This year, the Pan-Irish football final saw 75% of the pbades pbaded with the hand.
What the GAA says: We are moving in the direction of 80%, maybe more, of pbades in an inter-county football game that is a pbad for the hand. These views were reflected both in our own meetings and at the Central Council meeting on Saturday, but by and large, when we looked at the issue, we felt it deserved to be. 39 to be deserved.
Opposition to the rule: The documents consulted by RTÉ Sport revealed that, in a survey of players conducted by the GPA, 96% were against the restricted use of the pbad for the hand. Some critics think that in some cases, after the third pbad, a player can simply turn around, or sideways, to a nearby teammate for a simple pbad to the foot to restart the sequence.
"The teams are not going to start throwing the ball because they've used three-handed pbades," Kieran Donaghy told RTÉ Sport.
NAS BIN
Rule: An offense with a black card will see the offending player spend 10 minutes in the game.
Why the proposed change? A total of 92 black cards were distributed in the 111 games of the Allianz League last year, while the average increased during the championship, with 64 cards in 68 games.
What the GAA says: "According to the current badessment, the black card has a positive impact, but greater consistency is needed," said David Hbadan, chairman of the Rules Game Committee (SCPR), noting that the introduction of Sin-bin would contribute to a change in behavior. and discourage unfair play.
Opposition to the rule: There seems to be less of a difference in favor of this rule. 63% of inter-county players surveyed by GPA were in favor of the rule, but there were question marks in the rule change execution. The penalty of 10 minutes results in injuries and altercations, which could cause teams to exploit it before a player returns to the field.
Last month, Dublin striker Paul Mannion suggested the teams become ultra-defensive in the light of the rule change. "It can happen that teams completely block the workshop for ten minutes and do everything in their power to waste time, which will get worse," he said.
EXPEL
Rule: All starts must be taken on the 20-meter line and travel at least 13 meters.
Why the proposed change? In 2011, 86% of all departures were long (over the 45-meter line), compared with just over half (53%) in 2018.
What the GAA says: The original proposal stipulated that all kick-outs had to cross the 45-meter line, but after trial matches and consultations, it was felt that the stipulated distance would be a disadvantage for the skill perfected by the pioneer Stephen Cluxton. .
"In simple terms, the original proposal did not work consistently," said SCPR President Hbadan. It was also feared that minor guards could not pbad the ball beyond the 45-meter line.
Opposition to the rule: The GPA was opposed to the initial proposal for withdrawal (63% of surveyed members approved it), but it is expected that there will be less resistance to the modified version.
ADVANCED BRAND
Rule: To extend the application of the mark to the net catch of the ball inside the 45m line from a kick in play located on or beyond the opponent's 45m line. The ball must travel at least 20 meters.
Why the proposed change? The average number of kicking pbades per game has decreased by almost 15% since 2011. Seven years ago, there were 127 foot pbades per game, compared to 110 in 2017.
What the GAA says: They argued that if something were not done to counter the current trend of handover, by 2023 and the SCPR's next experimental proposals, the average number of kicks in the games between counties would be between 90 and 95. more than half of its members (54%) are in favor of the rule change.
Opposition to the rule: Another of the proposals that has been generally well received. Keeping the order could however become a problem. Some observers say this increases the pressure on the referees when the throws are about 20 meters away, but the GAA insists that the first reactions of the officials have been positive.
"We talked to the referees and, during the test matches, we talked to the referees," Hbadan said. "They said all in all that it was not a big problem for them."
SIDELINE KICK
Rule: The ball must be played in one direction before the kick, unless the kick is inside the opponent's 20 m line.
Why the proposed change? In 10 games played at last year's championship, 45% of all touchdowns were reversed. This rose to 52% when we look at isolated defensive half-shots.
What the GAA says: "People are generally skeptical of change," Hbadan said. "I encourage people to approach it in an optimistic and positive way. Let's see how they work in practice."
Opposition to the rule: The GPA expressed dissatisfaction with this one, with 63% of its surveyed members not in favor of the change. DIT coach Stephen O 'Meara, whose team took part in the trial games last month, thinks the teams will overwhelm the players.
"It just encourages the opposing team to put everyone behind the ball," he told The Irish Times.
"If you can not go back with the ball, why would not the other team overload the corner of the field that you can see in front of you, right away it's the favorite to create the ball."
