TV View: Here's how the new rules looked on weekend one of the Allianz League

Dissent
Any display of dissent or challenge to a referee’s decision will result in the ball being moved forward 50 metres, up to the opposition’s 13-metre line. Only the team captain — or a nominated player if the captain is no longer on the pitch — may speak to the referee for clarification on a decision. A player who concedes a free must hand the ball to their opponent promptly and respectfully. Failure to do so will result in the free being moved forward 50 metres

Tyrone v Derry: There were only two frees brought forward by David Coldrick, which showed both teams quickly learned their lesson. The first of those was largely ineffectual, with play brought forward to just over halfway, although the second was taken from close range by Ronan Cassidy, who opted, perhaps as the wind was stiffly in his face, not to take the ball back outside and chance an effort at a two-pointer.

Galway v Armagh: It seemed farcical to see Armagh captain Aidan Forker just hand the ball to a Galway opponent in the first half on Saturday night. It looks like a rule that is designed for two children playing tiddlywinks. Surely just dropping the ball to the ground and retreating is enough.

Roscommon v Down: A Down midfielder was penalised in the second half for a gentle push as he fielded a kick-out and frustrated he hopped the ball. The result was the ball being brought forward 50m and Roscommon firing over a two-pointer. Surely this punishment is just too severe.

Dublin v Mayo: In total, only seven fouls were given throughout the match in Croke Park and at no stage did a player have to hand the ball to a member of the opposition due to the fact every player fouled had the ball in their hand when the foul was committed. Only one free was scored and that was given due to the 3 v 3 rule being penalised. Paul Faloon had a brilliant game and none of his decisions needed to be questioned. That may not be the case in other matches going forward but it will be a Pavlovian response where if a player makes a mistake, he will learn from it and more often than not, not make it again
