1990:
Free & Sideline Kick from the Hands introduced
1994:
Player who takes a Hand Pass may not make a Hand Pass in National Football League
2004:
Sin-Bin introduced in Provincial Cup Competitions
2005:
Kicking Tee Introduced
2009:
Black Card experimented with in National Leagues- Hurling & Football
2014:
Black Card is introduced in Gaelic Football
2016:
Mark Introduced from the Kick-Out

Proposal 1
Handpass
: To introduce a restriction of three consecutive passes of the ball with the fist or open
hand by players of the team in possession
Aim:
To counteract the over use of the Hand-Pass
Rationale:
(
Data compiled by Rob Carroll- GaelicStats
)
•
Data from 322 Championship Football Games 2011-2018
•
Exponential increase in the average number of Hand-Passes per game. Since 2011 there has been
an average increase of over
100 Hand-Passes
per game (251-v-359)

Proposal 2
Sideline Kick:
That the ball shall be played in a forward direction from the kick, except inside the
opponents’ 13m line
Aim:
To generate more contested possessions
Rationale:
(
Data compiled by Player, Club and Games Administration Department)
•
10 games analysed in 2018 Senior All Ireland Football Championship
•
21%
of frees went backwards
•
45%
of sideline kicks went backwards
•
52%
of sideline kicks awarded in defensive half of field went backwards
•
36%
of sideline kicks awarded in attacking half of field went backwards

Proposal 3
The Mark:
To extend the application of the Mark to the clean catching of the ball
on or inside the 20m line from a kick delivered on or beyond the 45m line without
it touching the ground
Aim:
To incentivize Catching & Kicking, Creative & Innovative Play
Rationale:
(
Data compiled by Rob Carroll- GaelicStats)
•
The current ‘Mark’ has facilitated Catching
•
The average number of kick passes per game is falling. 127 Foot-Passes per game
in 2011 v 110 foot passes per game in 2017
•
Statistics from 2018 All Ireland Senior Football Championship Final indicates that
75% of all passes were Hand-Passes

Proposal 4
Kick-Out/Zoning
•
For a kick-out, two players only from each team shall be positioned between the two 45m lines
•
The goalkeeper and a maximum of six players from each team shall be behind the respective 45m
lines, until the ball is kicked
•
The ball from the kick-out shall travel beyond the 45m line before being played by a player of the
defending team
•
Other Rules relating to the kick-out to remain unchanged
Aim:
To counteract the very significant rise in Blanket Defence style tactics

Proposal 5
Sin-Bin:
The Penalty on the day for a Black Card Infraction or two Yellow Card Infractions - an
ordering off for ten minutes in a Sin Bin
Aim:
To reduce the increase in cynical play/professional fouls and implement a penalty which
encourages behaviour change
Rationale:
(
Data compiled by Player, Club and Games Administration Department)
•
Current thinking is that the Black Card is having a positive impact but greater consistency is
required
•
The introduction of the Sin-Bin would assist with behaviour change and discourage foul play
Experimentation and proposal of playing rules by the SCPR, focusing on fairness, skill enhancement, player responsibility, and spectator engagement. Historical perspective of rule changes in Gaelic Football highlighted from 1990 to 2016.
