Cooney indicates experimental rules will remain on hold

GAA PRESIDENT Christy Cooney has all but confirmed there will be no attempt to resurrect the controversial experimental disciplinary rules in 2010.

The association announced last December that a raft of temporary rulings would be used in the 2009 national leagues with a view to confronting the growing cynicism and persistent fouling in the games.

Chief among them was the announcement that any player receiving a yellow card would be sent to the line for the duration of the game and be replaced by a substitute.
