Replying To tirawleybaron:  "I know Tyrone have a reputation for the dark arts but your really over thinking this one.

if a rule that doenst exist gave Tyrone the chance to be cynical, they would do it and poor Galway would be beaten!!!

Relax and enjoy Galway kicking long range points and being rewarded for it, stop worrying about big bad Tyrone ruining football."
This was explaining why the option for a 2 pointer infringement for not keeping 3 up/back needs to be kept.
If a team is in the lead with a few minutes left, you can drop everyone back, the play will continue so time is wasted and when the ref is told then its only one point and it's better than conceding a 2 pointer or a goal.
If my team was in the situation of leading id be expecting them to exploit that and teams will in championship.

Replying To GreenandRed:  "What if his mother was born on an aeroplane?"
There was actually a Kerry All-Ireland winning player called Pat 'Aeroplane' O Shea, and Con Houlihan used to talk of low flying seagulls being in danger when Brian Mullins or Jack O Shea were playing. But, enough of this nonsense - this is supposed to be a serious forum!

If the tweaks to rules are voted in,will they be in operation for end of league?
Will they come in for championship or what way are things going to work?
I'm all for improving what in my opinion had become a horrible game to watch.however I fear there is to much happening in a short space of time.I feel really sorry for officials on duty in any game now and I can't wait to see how a club game goes with just a ref available.

Keep the 3 up ( maybe 4 ) and the solo and go but only after stopping…plus the kick outs… the game would be just fine…. Ditch all the other nonsense especially handing the ball back and the silly 2 pointers….

I think the handing the ball back has been the biggest success of them all.
They game is back and moving again immediately after a free. Gone are the days of the offending team, holding onto the ball, throwing it away, starting a row, lying on the ball etc (and a range of S#!t housery). Now you foul, your actually worse off than if you don't foul - so the game is the better for it.
You must have loved the days when a team was chasing the game only for the leading team to be messing around fouling and slowing down play. I'd say your in the minority.

I'm in the majority as usual… handing the ball back is just childish… what's wrong with placing the ball on the ground with any other action penalised..? And don't be foolish… when the games matter and a team are leading near the end all the usual slowing of play down will surface..!

The rules were brough in for lots of reasons I think one reason was to see more actual kicking of ball I for one don't think there is anyone kicking I've being at all Galway matches so far and last match v Tyrone o flaherty Silke Mulkerrins Kelly Maher and Hernon none of them actually kicked the ball once all of them started ,,is that hard believe but unfortunately it's true just running and hand passing only for Shane Walsh with all his 2 pointers is papering over the cracks Galway are still getting 11-16 scores but it's just value of scores gone up 2 pointers

Exactly… the 2 pointers are just distorting score lines and add nothing to games…. in fact they are leading to a huge drop in goal chances.. I would immediately get rid of these ridiculous 2 pointers…
