I see Donegal and Armagh have been fined following the Ulster Final bust up.If they had no footage or referee report to identify the culprits what evidence have they got to suggest anything happened.If challenged I don't see how these fines could stand up.

Replying To Lockjaw:  "Tomas Rooney and Cahair O'Kane were talking about this very subject on OTB last night.
They suggested that rules to limit hand-passing would be near impossible to implement at senior level.
It would be better to go right back to underage, and bring in a rule where if you receive a hand-pass then your next pass has to be a kick, or something along those lines. Their theory was that if young players adopt that kick-pass mindset early on, then they'll continue to use it as they progress up the ranks.

The other suggestion was to retry the 4 points for a goal rule. Maybe the big reward would encourage more teams to get the ball inside faster?

Hard to please everyone I suppose."
The 4 point goal is the one way to help counteract the 2 pointers. The handpass could be limited to 2, after that it must be kicked, could lead to many short kick passes but it might improve the game in the long run.
