THE FOOTBALL REVIEW Committee is considering scrapping penalty shootouts and replacing them with ‘ overtime showdowns ’ to find a winner for games that finish level.
After that, Special Congress will vote on the recommendations on 30 November and, if passed, they will come into play from 1 January. Many of the FRC’s trials, like one-v-one throw-ups to start games, keeping three players in attack at all times, awarding four points for a goal and two for a long-range point kicked outside a new 40-metre arc, have been well flagged.
If they do score, then there would be one more opportunity, with play starting from a throw-up, for either side to score a winner. Their five ‘sandbox’ games took place in Mullingar, Mayo, Clare and twice at Abbottstown and were used to rule in or out potential proposals.
