One-on-one penalties were to come in this weekend but the GAA have pushed it back

The new laws will not now come into force until 11 April.

REVISED PLAYING RULES for hurling and football were due to come into play this weekend.

But GAA chiefs have today announced that they will now be pushed out to 11 April.

One-on-one penalties and an advantage law were slated to come into effect.

“It is vital that players and referees have an opportunity to familiarise themselves with changes in playing rules before they become operative,” a Croke Park statement reads. 

“Central Council has, therefore, decided to defer the implementation date of the revised playing rules until Saturday, 11 April.”

The new rules will be in place for the hurling and football league semis and final.

What do you think?

    Has Diego Simeone given an indication that he will play? I’d have thought it was pretty unlikely he’ll play since their medical team said he will need a few weeks to get up to match fitness. I hope I’m wrong though and he plays and scores of course.

    Simeone told Spanish media yesterday that he’d start, Barry – I’ve added in a clip from the press conference to the article.

    I watched a YouTube video the other day of all Torres Liverpool goals. I just don’t understand how he could go from the player he was, to the player he is now. It makes no sense to me. He was truly one of the world’s best when he was at Liverpool.

    And also, I’d love to see him regain some form with atletico.

    As a united fan even I can stand back and say he was awesome, the day he destroyed Vidic was incredible. But he went from that prolific player to someone who could not score from 2 yards out.
