Kettle would settle for seven if sideline guideline on personnel implemented

Dublin are among a number of counties against the GAA’s new guideline to reduce the number of officials on the sideline to five.

Central Council will on Saturday vote on the proposal, which has been devised by GAA president Liam O’Neill with the aim of avoiding potential flashpoints.

It is O’Neill’s intention to eventually bar all personnel, including managers and selectors, from the sideline.
