They will need a stadium on the Southside for when the inevitable split up of Dublin comes so they might as well get cracking. Split will be in 2025 i reckon. You think so? Why 2025? Will that be the 11 in a row year and everyone will have had enough! The economic golden years of the GAA were 1996 - 2010. Absolutely coined it in as Dublin played in full house after full house, only occasionally getting within touching distance (2002, 2006, 2007). The money made paved the way for club getting new floodlights and 4G all weather pitches nationwide. There was no one complaining then, because, well, Dublin weren't winning. Didn't seem to be a need for another stadium or splitting Dublin in 2 (or 5 if you're Ewan McKenna). Croke Park has to be in someone's county, happens to be Dublin. Everyone knows it makes no economic sense to build another stadium in Dublin, none whatsoever, which is why it hasn't happened.

Why 2025.... it will be exactly 20 years since the GAA started skewing things totally in Dublins favour.

Dublin GAA could drive their own finances on to the next level with their own 30k seater stadium in Dublin. It would be some Events centre in the capital. Probably handier though to be receiving the GAA Dole year on year however.............

Great rule change at Congress tonight to outlaw the passback to the goalie directly from a kickout. Will make it much more difficult to beat the press.

The playing receiving a kickout cant pass it back to the keeper. Is there nothing stopping a keeper from moving forward and taking a lateral or forward pass from the player who received the kickout. They would need to clarify that. They seem hell bent on a return to long kickouts. Why dont they simply move the kickout back to the small "square". That would sort that problem.

My reading of the rule is that the player receiving the kickout can't pass to the goalie. Doesn't matter if it's backwards, lateral or forwards. I think it's a good rule as it removes the easy option for the receiving player if he is put under pressure. It's the pass back to the goalie that relieves the pressure of the opposition press and often leads to slow ponderous handpassing from the back. It should force the player receiving the kickout to be more direct. I would have gone further and outlawed a pass back to the goalie from any dead ball situation. It drives me mad to see a lineball or free outside the 45 kicked back to the goalie. Teams like Monaghan do it constantly.

The rules are being changed far too frequently.

If that's the case then why don't they put in a rule that the kick out has to travel out beyond the 45.

But full back to corner back to keeper is ok?

But full back to corner back to keeper is ok? Yes but full back to corner back may not be easy with a full offensive press on the kickout. The statistics presented at congress were interesting. In the Galway Mayo qualifier last summer, the player with the most outfield possessions was the Galway goalie (this does not include kickouts, line balls or free kicks). The Mayo goalie had more outfield possessions than any Galway outfield player. I guess it comes down to what we want the role of a goalkeeper to be but I would prefer a game where Shane Walsh has more possessions than his goalie.

I think its a good rule change personally, i know some people think it should be the 45 which is fine at ic but a normal club goalie kicking into a gale force wind wouldn't have much chance tbf.
As said above there is some ampunt of tinkering with the rules poor old refs will need to bring their phone with them soon just to make sure they havent changed them during the game.

The Mayo goalie had more outfield possessions than any Galway outfield player. I guess it comes down to what we want the role of a goalkeeper to be but I would prefer a game where Shane Walsh has more possessions than his goalie. www.irishtimes.com/sport/gaelic-games/gaa-congress-once-again-shows-that-no-one-sticks-up-for-football-1.4189417This article nails a lot about this rule change, especially as regards the procedure for rule changes and the fact that there seems to be no-one in the corridors of power with a vision of how the game should be played and the need to put the necessary rules in places to achieve this. However for me the key thing is the bit where it mentions that they used stats from the Mayo v Galway match as an example of the "problem" this new rule is supposed to solve. When I read the bit about the Galway Mayo qualifer match last summer my brain went "hold up" - I remember watching that game and it was a right good game of football. I even went and looked at the match reports to make sure I wasn't getting mixed up/confused. That was the game Carr went on his run from out the wing and cracked it to the net. All of the match reports described it positively "pulsating encounter" "lived up to the hype" "electric atmosphere" This clearly shows that just because the two keepers in a game see a lot of the ball outfield doesn't mean automatically mean that it will be a poor game. The fact that this game, that the standing rules committee were actually using as an example of keepers having two much possession, was actually a good game of football, pretty much kills stone dead the notion that you can't have a good game of football if the keepers have a lot of outfield possession and that maybe the powers-that-be should be looking at other areas of the game in terms of improvements.

RIP Frank Hogan aka John 3.7.
Another man who brought something to the spectacle of big matches. Getting a photo with him and his sign was a big deal for kids after games.

The Ireland /France rugby match has been called off. Cheltenham goes ahead even though the first case of corona virus has been diagnosed in Cheltenham town today. I wonder how long before GAA fixtures will be affected?

GAA have confirmed the U20 Semi's for St Patrick's Day and they've made Sunday a double header with Kerry Hurler's playing before Dubs & Meath.
