@SmallerFishGAA Looking forward to counting the hand passes. Hard enough catching a double bounce as a referee.

Limiting the handpass in Gaelic football MUST happen RULE: 3 handpass limit followed by a kick (the kick has to go forward) 1. The 11v11 attack will become much harder, no time to load up and play basketball. 2. Teams will press aggressively as the turnover will be easier - no long phases of possession 3. 2 pointer will protect against teams dropping off 4. Teams will finally see the value in the 3v3 for the faster attack to avoid the 11v11, not use 11v11 as their only attacking strategy 5. We'll see the great skills of kicking and catching under pressure return 6. No running down the clock 7. End to end matches 8. Yes it was trialled before but that was a different game with no 2 pointer and kicks went backwards

Also well done to Tommy Devlin @NewbridgeCLG keep up the great work lad 👏👏

Two top lads moving on with their refereeing careers. Great accomplishment from Caolan and Cianan 👏👏 #GAA

@Doiregaa Strangmore Roundabout in Dungannon closed due to roadworks. Best to avoid as you won’t get through onto the main Moy Rd.

@malmcmullan @Doiregaa Great to see the integration of LGFA and Camogie on the site. Well done @chrisskeenan

A new revamp of the @Doiregaa fixtures is now live derrygaa.ie/fixtures-resul… All four codes under one roof and colour coded Fair play @chrisskeenan

Hopefully lessons are learnt and our children and grandchildren have the proper blueprint in place for a future pandemic so that they don’t have to endure the pain we experienced. So far little if nothing has been done 6 years later. Cheers to all who contributed and assisted.

@mulholland_jj I’ll send it to you on what’s app mate

@mcivorr Have you a link Roddy?

My brave sister at the covid enquiry today giving evidence from our experiences. Hopefully a lot of lessons can be learned from how badly the pandemic was handled and families get access to loved ones in hospitals and care homes and proper burials can be facilitated. #COVID_19

Some finish to the hogan cup semi final. Free in or not at the end on the keeper. Big call, haven’t seen a replay of it yet. Some goal from O’Rourke, great player, extra time coming up. #hogancup

@BJPMarshall A great lady gone too soon. The turnout at the funeral was a testament to the her personality Brendan. Your Mum was well thought off . Thinking about you, your Dad and Michael in the days ahead. RIP Ann 🙏

@CiDeely An important new rule for sure. The majority of these calls are made when players aren’t interfering with play though and common sense would cause its own problems as opponents will probably put pressure on officials for the breach to be called.

The 3&3 rule again came under scrutiny in Armagh v Galway. This has been one of the most consequential new rules introduced last year — and, in my view, this single alteration or enhancement addressed many of the core issues the game was facing. Overall, it has been overwhelmingly positive. That said, the FRC themselves attempted (belatedly) to soften its application last year by allowing officials and referees some discretion — or at least by identifying specific situations where the rule, or its punishment, might not apply or could be lessened. What we now need is for referees to apply this rule with a bit more common sense. Otherwise, the flow of the game and the intent of the players are lost — which is the exact opposite of what these rules were designed to achieve.

A team who takes more than the 15mins at ht, and make a team wait for the restart should be punished with a 13m free to start the half. #GAA

@ShaneMcEntee1 He’s on the pitch as the teams here have that many coaches and personnel on the line he’s most likely unable to run up and down it. A common problem.

Honouring the Moneymore ’84 champions tonight. A team that made history and made us proud. 🏆

Congratulations to @NewbridgeCLG and @GlenullinGAC today. Both representing our county @Doiregaa with great pride.
