Club Football

(Oldest Posts First)

watching a lot of club football on rte,clubber tg4 and being at some, there is nothing wrong with the rules, its mainly the top teams managers and coaches are the problem, if u go see most of div 2/3 /4 teams in league ull see great football, its the top teams that are chocking the game with style of play [fear of loosing?]

I agree and disagree. There have been some terrible club games as well. I think club games have been better since the inter provincial experiment. It's like teams have been positively influenced in taking a more "vertical football" approach.
Watching the Cuala game last night:
1. The new goalkeeper passing rules should be an improvement.
2. 3 up and 3 back should be positive.
3. The solo and go should be an improvement.
4. The reward for the longer score would have been interesting.
5. The improved attacking mark would have been interesting also.

Delighted kilcoo are gone, the thoughts of having to watched their negative play would put you off the club. Hoping any of Ulster Leinster or Connacht will win it out be a first for those clubs but you'd feel crokes will have the edge

Careful now - dont be saying that too loud.... ;o)

There is selective umbrage being taken on this point at the moment.... lol

You are right though - Kilcoo can be a hard watch but they are very effective.
Needless sending off cost them in the Ulster final.

There's no rule stating 3 back… you can still have 11 strung across the backline not counting the goalkeeper… The 2pt score is absolutely ridiculous and will only lead to players having pot shots from everywhere with the majority going wide especially at club level where referees will be hung out to dry trying to monitor this…. I can see the club games especially turning into chaos with all these rules coming in….

The 2pt score could easily descend into chaos tbh.
Especially in club games.

The rule has been presented as 3 up / 3 back. The attacking team keep at least 3 players in their half own half. The defending team keeps at least 3 players in their opponents half.

As usual, glass half empty with you.
