Could someone who paid to watch a game live on Armagh TV last weekend tell me if you can now watch a re-run of that same game from the archive?
I bought a league game live TV ticket a couple of weeks ago, but then I needed a separate purchase to watch a re-run, which seemed a little unfair.

Just wondering how its fixed now with the Championship games.

Think you have to pay again. Does seem unfair. Armagh TV provide a good service but should not see itself as a money making enterprise.

From previous years if you paid to watch a game you can re watch that game at a later stage. You'd imagine it would be the same again

I'm sure this also leads to refs getting serious abuse when undeserved as most fans will not be up to date with the latest version. I am told the decision to award the free in the other direction was he correct one based on the latest rule. This in itself is ridiculous as it takes the advantage of the mark away altogether. You would be better off not calling the mark at all!!

This is incorrect. It is a hop ball for taking too long over kick if you claim a mark

The forward and defensive marks are an absolute disaster of a rule change. I actually thought the mark from a kick out for a ball won in midfield was a good change and rewarded some of the old traditional skills (high catching) but this is an absolute nonsense and is leading to total confusion. I honestly believe it gives too much of an advantage to the attacker, does nothing for the flow of the game and causes absolute confusion. As another poster has said, the pressure now on referees with the sheer weight of rules and responsibilities is immense. I sincerely hope this is reviewed.

Couldn’t have put it better myself. Too much potential for controversy and havoc. I’d even extend it to the kickout mark, I don’t think it adds much to the game either

It wasn't for the league. I asked Armagh TV and was told that I needed to buy an Archive ticket to watch it afterwards. And this was after I didn't even watch it live as I was at another game at the same time. I thought that was bad form; because in the end up I had to buy two tickets to watch it once. I had just assumed that my pre-game purchase would have allowed me to view it again afterwards.

The problem with these rules is that when they were introduced only county teams really played under them as kickdown kicked in
We are, in our own county, 4-5 games into it so it's still early.
These marks will have to go once we've all seen over a short season of games just how stop/start the game will have become.
This new water break looks like it will be in vogue for quite sometime so with that, plus marks, the game will become a series of set plays.
Some teams are already playing a form of basketball so we may call the game something else as feet are for socks and boots
I think they introduced the mark to encourage more kick passing
Why not ban the handpass between the two 50s to encourage the kick pass and then no mark needed?

Agree the mark needs to go, but a blanket ban on the handpass wouldnt work, obviously need it at times to get out of trouble.

The strange thing about the attacking mark is, a year or two ago it was trialled, but then dropped at that years Congress. Then suddenly it was reinstated at Congress, without another trial period.

Surely if delegates were to vote it in, they’d be more inclined to do so while it’s actually in place (and they can witness how it’s going), not after a gap of a year or two?

Makes me think there was something dodgy going on at Congress.

Must go, there’s a dodgy looking black van in the driveway...

Attacking mark is very tough on defenders too. Forward can catch the ball on his chest anywhere inside the 45 and then have a free kick for a point. Very hard to defend against that.

Maybe a catch inside the 21 would promote more kicking!

Also I'm assuming no defenders will take the mark anyway, might aswell play on.

For once I tend to agree with Mickey Harte about rule changes. What the hell was wrong with the game as it was. These rules committee people seem to have too much time on their hands. How about putting them in lockdown.

@ragingbull you are quite correct and thank you for asking another member to do the sensible thing, which they obviously did. Can I just ask you though to at least mask their comments when you all do something like this. Otherwise regardless of whether they remove it or not, it will remain on public view in your quote.

Thanks again and welcome back. Several members were worried that you had maybe been "locked up" for a while. I was happy to let them know, that didn't happen, but concerned that you disappeared - don't push it with your reply!

Folks maybe not the best idea to be promoting something which is maybe not strictly legal and also denies revenue to the county we all support. What you discuss in private is entirely up to you.
