Is There A Workable Solution To Limiting Handpasses In Football?

Replying To omahant:  "Three hand pass limit, where the 3rd can't be caught - just punched/ palmed on for a goal (or pass) ?

So you keep your 1-2 throughout the field and the 3rd, most likely, only used for that scoring opportunity."
There is negative commentary on the endless handpassing. I was merely suggesting that an old one-two and setting up a goal should be catered for at a minimum.

If refs can't count steps, how in the name of god do you expect them to count handpasses?

Replying To TheFlaker:  "We have barely started the new rules and people are still posting stupid suggestions. Like absolutely daft stuff. We never stop whinging."
This is it.

Like what do people want exactly? What constitutes playing the game "the way it should be played?"

I'm always minded of a famous Noel Gallagher interview when talking about consumers.

"The consumer didn't ******* want Jimi Hendrix. But they got him, and it changed the world. And the consumer didn't want St. Peppers, but they got it. And they didn't want the Sex Pistols, but they got it.
**** the customer. The customer doens't know what he wants. You ******* give it to him. And he likes it!

When you see a game like Crokes v Errigal Ciaran which was played recently (under the old rules as well I may add), the only conclusion that could be drawn was that there's little wrong with the rules. And that in reality, you'll get a damn good game if teams are allowed to express themselves and aren't over-coached to death.
