Eye-balling game to be avoided
26 January 2007
The GAA is to enforce a new rule in the coming year which will define where on the pitch teams are to do their warm-up exercises.
The rule - already included in the rulebook - will seek to prevent the sort of confrontation between teams before matches which erupted prior to last year’s All-Ireland semi-final between Mayo and Dublin.
"The Dublin/Mayo thing probably highlighted it," GAA President Nickey Brennan admitted. "It is to avoid a repeat of that. There wasn’t a regulation there before and now we’re saying ’look we don’t want a repeat.’
"For games in Croke Park, the committee in charge shall determine which dressing room, seating area on the sideline and area of the pitch is to be used for warm-up by the participating teams.
"For games at other venues the county secretary of the county hosting the game will determine this."
Its hard to know what to think of this!
Which end??
