Heard that next year teams will be required to have jerseys that have player numbers both in front and behind. Dont know where there going to fit the new numbers on the Kerry Jersey. From the Kerry crest/GAA crest/Oneills Logo and the Kerry Group logo the jersey will look more like a formula one car than a football jersey. Bit pointless in IMO.  |

totally disagree, I've suggested this previously.
It means the ref doesn't have to ask and wait for the player to turn around when giving a black or yellow card thereby reducing the opportunity for the offending team to get players behind the ball.

I get your point I suppose. I had assumed it was for the benefit of the spectator/commentators. Would indeed speed up the game. The quick free could be an influential tactic next year.

I'd love to see them go a lot further with this. Take the writing down of the number out of the refs hand completely , if the ref and linesmen were wired up the ref would only have to tell the linesman. This technology already exists so couldn't cost too much to implement.
And what about wearing a black and yellow glove so he wouldn't have to extract a notebook from his pocket and then go fishing for cards. Obviously red cards would be different but they're quite rare. There's so many cards issued in GAA matches compared to other sports that this is a much bigger issue and invites teams to adopt cynical negative tactics (including Kerry).

A black and yellow glove? Bit much don't ya think? Perhaps a white glove with diamonds a la Michael Jackson on the other hand to offset the colour of his outfit maybe?!  |

Black numbers on white shorts wouldnt be much use during a February game under lights against Cork in Pairc Ui Rinn.
Although sure Cork are Div 2 now!!

speaking of refs and taking names, what do ye think of the black book system, i think it's ridiculous and ruined so many games in the c'ship this year, really slowed everything, so many people wanted to take quick frees, but out comes the stupid black book, ruined this year's c'ship for me, time to get rid of it again..
