THE REVISED RULES proposed by the GAA ’s Football Review Committee will be in effect for this weekend’s National Football League fixtures after they were rubber-stamped on Monday night.
A statement from the GAA confirmed that the amended rules “will be implemented for county games immediately and for club games at the discretion of county boards between now and 1 May”. Advertisement This impacts a scenario whereby if a goalkeeper enters the opposition half, four of his team-mates must remain in their own half, unlike the current scenario where only three have to remain there.
Unintentional breaches of the ‘four back, three up’ rule will be factored in. Players who move up to four metres across the halfway line will not be punished, if they have done so unintentionally, are not interfering with play or an opponent, and have not gained an advantage.The word ‘directly’ has been removed from the rule related to two-point scores as this was an issue for some refeees.
