Confusion surrounding the GAA’s new hand-pass rule will ease over the coming weeks, the chairman of the National Referees Committee Mick Curley has claimed.
The head of referees acknowledged that the opening games of the Championship had indicated that not everyone was convinced about the viability of the regulations.
Curley continued, “There were some inconsistencies again on Sunday but then this is new to everybody.â€
The ref chief told the Irish Independent, “We’re working towards getting greater uniformity in how the rule is implemented and I have no doubt we’re getting there.â€
He added, “It’s all about improving consistency right across the board. Once we can get players and referees on the same wavelength on this one, the problem should peter out.â€
