Would doing away with the rule not favour yourselves more than most? Dublin only had one player Paddy Doyle who came under its remit.

Replying To Yellow:  "What are the chances of moving minor back to U18 and U21 again for next year?"
Would definitely be the way forward Yellow. There's too big of a jump physically between u20 and adult.

Not really. Most of the u20s are either not good enough yet, or not big enough yet, for Senior intercounty. The ones that have played have played more out of necessity due to injury.

You're avoiding the question again. Put simply:

For as long as the rule is in place, should it apply equally to all counties? Yes or no?

Well, that is surely obvious if I think it ought not be there in the first place! As I've said going back a fair while.

Get rid of it, then it doesn't have to be fairly applied.

It's not obvious at all, Barney. Somebody could think:

a) The rule shouldn't be there in the first place, but at least it doesn't apply to everybody, so as long as the rule remains on the books, let's keep it that way so that not everybody is affected by the stupidity of it,

or

b) The rule shouldn't be there in the first place, but as long as it's on the books, it should apply the same to everybody.

Which camp are you in?
