O’Neill wants the sin-bin back

New GAA president Liam O’Neill is planning to reintroduce the sin-bin in an attempt to curb growing indiscipline at inter-county level.

In his inauguration address to Congress on Saturday, the Laois man told delegates he is considering putting together a work group to revisit the 2009 experimental disciplinary rules and modify the original proposals.

O’Neill and GAA head of games Pat Daly introduced the sin-bin experiment for the leagues three years ago and were marginally unsuccessful in getting the motion through at Congress in Cork, failing to reach the necessary two-thirds majority by 2%.
