Changes to the rules of gaelic football are to be reviewed in January, after their initial use in the pre-season provincial competitions.
The new rules include a sin bin instead of the black card, and an attacking mark inside the 45 metre line, but it’s the new limit of three on the number of consecutive hand passes that has angered members of the GPA.

Despite the controversy, Clare FM analyst Joe Garry said earlier this week that he is hopeful the will encourage more attacking play in Gaelic football.
