“We don’t understand how it hasn’t been picked up that we’re going into Round 2 and we don’t have a rule book...” Spoke to a "horrified" David Gough earlier about the implementation of Gaelic football's new rules from a referee's standpoint Off The Ball

@offtheball This won't be popular but he shouldn't be on the radio but I'm not surprised given he likes attention. There was always going to be bedding in problems but it's not his place to say what rules should be there or not.

No shortcuts, no excuses—just pure determination. 💥 Are you ready to see who has what it takes? #SurvivingMann #NoLimits #NavySEALs #AmericanSheriff #SpecOps #LawEnforcement #TacticalTraining

@offtheball It’s incredible and to be honest I don’t understand how David and the rest of the referees have accepted it and gone ahead with R1 and now R2 of the league without a rule book. It’s putting them in such an unfair position.

@offtheball They’re really trying to drive it home, that it is in fact an Amateur association.

@offtheball They scrapped the pre season competitions the one year they really needed to play them. This could all have been avoided. 49 rules changes is rediclous

@offtheball Jimmy McGuinness has alot to answer for. He destroyed a sport with soccer tactics.

@offtheball Sounds like sabotage by someone in croke park. Anyone who thinks Gavin is our lord and savior is deluded. Given a task and hes shmoozed everyone into submission hes done it very well but its for his benefit

@offtheball The rule book never bothered Gough in the past

@offtheball Ah there he is again, back in the media craving a bit more attention. I can't recall any other national referee speaking out on the rules. They've just put the head down and got on with it. God knows this lad struggled with the existing rules so we shouldn't be too shocked.

@offtheball They make up the rules to suit themselves most of the time . A black card for one and a yellow for another for same infringement as its up to the referee to interpret.

@offtheball @TomasORuanaidh @JoeBrolly1993 certainly puts a different perspective on the implementation of the new rules..
