Daly rounds on cynical use of deliberate fouls

GAA head of games development Pat Daly has expressed his concern at teams openly admitting they cynically foul to gain an advantage.

Giving his support in principle to the “toe tap and play on” rule that could be introduced in 2013 and any measures that ensure “it doesn’t pay to foul”, Daly did not mention any counties in particular.

However, he said: “What most people are objecting to and are offended by was there was some approach to cynical fouling. People wouldn’t be happy with that.
