The former Dublin manager also explained how there will be in-depth data gathered from League games, with comparisons made with matches from the previous two seasons.
While the sweeping changes voted in at last month’s Special Congress will be rolled out in truly competitive fare for the first time in the Allianz Football League at the end of January, concerns have been raised around how difficult it will be for refs to police it at club level, where there is often no official linesmen or umpires to lean on.
“What I said to them is there's lots of things in the game that you mightn't see, could be a square ball could be a penalty, could be a 45,” said Gavin. “Could be a player lying on the ground and you can hear a big roar from the crowd and Jim’s lying on the ground – how did that happen?“You might hear roaring and shouting, ‘Oh, they only have two up,’ and you look around and there's three up: ‘Well I didn't see that’.
That means that the rules could be tweaked not just at the end of the League but during the competition. Indeed, that could continue into the Championship although Gavin admitted that this was much less likely.
