If you remember the 2017 All-Ireland Final, Dublin got the winning score from Dean Rock after, in about the fourth minute of seven prescribed minutes of injury time.

It went up to eight, even eight and a half after that.

But they kept the ball for...

basically for the four minutes after that.

And you see that all the time, no matter where.

So I don't think the possession is the issue with the Hooter.

It's the encouragement it gives for cynical fouling that you can play against the clock.

So keeping the ball is going to happen anyway.

But if you know that that clock stops dead on 70 minutes, you're going to try and foul the ball.

And obviously, if you don't... And the issue with Meath at the weekend was...

Player James Conlon brought down his opponent, but he didn't then try to stop the free.

If he had tried to stop the free from being taken quickly, that would have been a 50 meter advancement, but actually dragging down a player.

to foul him like that doesn't bring the ball 50 metres forward.

It's when there's a delay in, or when you try to disrupt the player from taking the free.

But it is encouraging players to play against the clock and to foul their way down and to kill the game in that regard.

And that's why I think it will be reviewed.

Obviously, it came in last year.

People say it was on the back of David Clifford's two-pointer, but I think there was many instances of it where

players waited until the hooter went and then they accelerated and tried to step up so they made sure that they could kill the game one way or the other or the half as it was I think it will be looked at it's down to it's down to central council can it be looked at before the championship well it can but I don't think they will I think this will more than likely be looked at at the end of the season and there's a new expert advisory group headed by Kevin McStay they have to get their feet under the table

I'm sure they will do some analysis on it.
