Encouraging less conflict and more progress - Paddy Neilan praises outcomes resulting from club regulations
In the world of Gaelic football, two notable figures have been making waves recently. On one hand, Paul Donaghy, a former Tyrone player, is creating a stir with his impressive performances in the current year's club championship. In a standout game against Trillick, Donaghy scored an impressive 0-20 points, including nine two-pointers.
On the other hand, Paddy Neilan, an inter-county referee, has been praising the positive impact of the new Football Review Committee rules in the club championship season. Neilan, who was recently seen officiating as a sideline official for Kerry's All-Ireland SFC semi-final win, has been actively involved in the implementation of these rules in Roscommon.
Neilan has observed a marked improvement in the club game under the new rules. He noted that there is less hassle from the sideline and the players, attributing this to both heavy penalties for dissent and the introduction of the solo and go rule. The referee, who was the last to officiate an adult club game under the old rules, has been involved in two rounds of club action in Roscomman's three-group system.
Neilan has also noted that players have embraced the changes, with both county and club players adapting quickly to the new rules. He observed a minimal difference between how the two groups have adapted, suggesting that they weren't enjoying club-level games as much in the past. Neilan also commended the players for their understanding of the rules, having watched county players adapt to the new rules.
As games progress, more is on the line for club players, making the new rules a challenge, especially in live or die football with knockout formats. However, Neilan believes that the new rules are a by-product of the efforts to keep and recruit more referees, as they are leading to less confrontation and dissent among players.
Meanwhile, Paul Donaghy's impressive performance for Dungannon makes him a notable topic of discussion. His 0-20 points against Trillick, including nine two-pointers, showcase his skill and determination on the field. As the club championship season continues, Donaghy and Neilan, along with many other players and referees, will continue to shape the future of Gaelic football.
