Replying To Points76:  "regional championships is muck"
Absolutely. Nonsense. Should only be open to U25s and involve 4 regional teams only.

And players should be actually from the region they are playing for.

Tweaks to the rules make it a different game again against Monaghan next week, assuming they're all passed by Central Council on Monday. Without the keeper up it's going to be a lot more frenetic, more one on ones and turnover and hard to slow if there's a lead to protect or playing into the wind.

This could play into our hands just at the right time. As good as Billy Hogan is at going up the field, the current master of the fly keepers is Rory Beggan.

Yes Beggan is really good at it, his kick passing inside creates the overlaps. You could still see him come up and stand right on the half way line and that piggy in the middle be along midway instead of on the 45m line. It will be interesting to see how Beggan and co deal with this.

The difference would be if he stands just inside halfway he can be marked by one of our 3 forwards who have to stay up

Can a keeper do that though? Think a backpass to his keeper anywhere in his half is still not allowed.

You are correct. Time now for everyone (including the inter county managers,who make up only 2% of the GAA) to get on with things. It is a better game and the good coaches & managers will embrace the challenge.
