Summary of Playing Rule Changes 2010

The GAA Congress 2010 passed a number of playing rule changes relevant
to football and hurling which will come into effect in all games played
on or after May 15th 2010. In total there are six changes specific to
football only and three specific to hurling, while a further six changes
affect both codes, A summary of the changes is as follows:

Football Only:
1.        Handpass – If a player handpasses the ball using the open hand,
there must be a definite underhand striking action.
2.        Penalty Kicks – All penalty kicks will now be taken from 11
metres out
3.        Kick Outs – All kick outs will now be from the 13 metre line
4.        Sideline kicks – Line balls must be kicked from outside the
boundary line
5.        Illegal Charge – It is illegal for a charge to be made on a
player kicking the ball.
6.        Definition of bounce – The redefinition of the bounce has the
effect that the ‘Basketball Type’, bounce, per se, is not a foul.

Hurling only:
1.        Puck Outs – The penalty for taking a puck-out from outside the
small rectangle is changed from the award of a 65m free to the
opposition to a throw in the ball on the defenders’ 20m line.
2.        Handpass – The ball must be released and struck with a definite
striking action of the hand
3.        Penalties – Both attackers and defenders must remain outside the
20m line and the arc until the ball is struck from a penalty and the
three defenders on the line must not move off the line until the ball is
struck.

Both Hurling and Football:
1.        Restarting Play – If play is stopped by the referee to enable a
seriously injured player to be treated, play will now resume with a free
to the team that had possession. However it will not be permitted to
score from such a free (if neither team is ‘in possession’, play shall
re-start with a throw in)
2.        Throw ins – when the play is being restarted by a throw-in, this
must take place a minimum of 13 metres from the sideline
3.        Advantage – A referee will now signal that advantage is being
played by raising his arm
4.        Extra Time – Extra time consists of 10 minutes per half only.
The provision for two additional periods of 5 minutes per half has been
removed
5.        Boundary Lines – The penalty for a player deliberately going
outside the boundary lines of the pitch to gain an advantage has changed
from a caution to a free.
6.        Charge – A charge is now defined as ‘shoulder to shoulder’
rather than ‘side to side’

Frog March in Greece

THESSALONIKI, Greece – Greek officials say a horde of frogs
has forced the closure of a key northern highway for two
hours.

Thessaloniki traffic police chief Giorgos Thanoglou says
‘millions’ of the amphibians covered the tarmac Wednesday
near the town of Langadas, some 12 miles east of
Thessaloniki.

‘There was a carpet of frogs,’ he said.

Authorities closed the highway after three car drivers
skidded off the road trying to dodge the frogs. No human
injuries were reported.

Thanoglou said the amphibians probably left a nearby lake to
look for food.


 

True Story. 

 

Police dog attacks footballers

Three players were bitten after a police dog ran on to a football pitch during an amateur game. As reported by the BBC on Monday, 28 October, 2002.

The German shepherd fled from his trainer during an exercise at a disused building close to the pitch.

Craig Jackson (no5) was one of the players attacked.
It headed towards the field and snatched a linesman’s flag before moving towards the players at Scunthorpe’s Brumby Hall ground on Saturday afternoon.

The injured players Steve Baker, 19, [not Will’s wife] Craig Jackson, 18, and Michael Stones, 18, were bitten on the arms and back and were treated at Scunthorpe General Hospital.
The game between Appleby Frodingham and Lincoln Moorlands had to be abandoned after the incident.

Lincoln Moorlands manager Martin Burnett said: ‘There were two children’s games on the next field and I dread to think what could have happened if the dog had gone on there instead.  ‘Also the dog wasn’t fully grown and it could have been even worse if it was a larger animal. ‘It was scary as the dog was out of control, it was not listening to its handler and nobody could do anything. ‘I have been in football for 22 years and I have never seen anything like this before.’

A Humberside Police spokesman said: ‘The people injured have had their injuries photographed, the dog handler has submitted a full report to the police dog section and we will fully look into what went on.’

 

Humour. 

 

Quality Control

A man boarded a plane with six kids.

After they got settled in their seats a woman sitting across the aisle from him
leaned over to him and asked, ‘Are all of those kids yours?’


He replied, ‘No Ma’am, I work for a condom company. These are customer complaints.’


DAMN, I WISH I COULD THINK THAT QUICKLY!

Bill, Jim and Scott were staying in a 75-story hotel. One
afternoon they were told that the elevators were broken and
they would have to climb 75 flights of stairs to get to
their room on the top floor.

Bill said, ‘The climb will go faster if we distract
ourselves. I’ll tell jokes for 25 flights, Jim can sing
songs for the next 25 flights and Scott can tell sad stories
for the rest of the way.’

Bill started telling jokes and didn’t stop until the 26th
floor. Then Jim began to sing and kept going until the 51st
floor. Then Jim stopped singing and told Scott to start
telling sad stories.

‘I will tell my saddest story first,’ Scott said. ‘Once upon
a time there was a man who left his hotel room key in the
car…’

 

 

Jurist imprudence

Please, Your Honor, I’d like to be excused from jury duty,’
pleaded an anxious-looking man.

‘Why should I excuse you?’ asked the judge.

‘You see, I owe a man fifty dollars, and he’s leaving in a
few hours for a post abroad. He’ll be there for years and I
want to catch him before he leaves, for it may be my last
chance to repay him.’

‘Excused,’ stated the judge coldly. ‘We don’t want anyone on
the jury who can lie like that.’ 

 

Medical Snip-pets

1) Doctor:
Doctors can be frustrating. You wait a month-and-a-half for an appointment, and when he examines you he says, ‘I wish you’d come to me sooner.’

2) Anaesthetist :
Dwayne is recovering from surgery in St Peter’s, Chertsey, UK, having had a local anaesthetic when a nurse asks him how he�s feeling. ‘I’m O.K. but I didn’t like the four-letter-word the doctor used in surgery’.

‘What did he say?’ asks the nurse.

‘OOPS!’
