‘No point’ in banning Nash’s penalty-taking technique

Jimmy Barry-Murphy admits he didn’t see “any great point” to ban Anthony Nash’s penalty-taking technique.

The so-called ‘Nash Motion’, which would have prevented penalty-takers gaining ground by lifting the sliotar forward, was ultimately withdrawn from the Congress agenda on Saturday.

Ironically, Nash was in the stand a few hours later as Laois goalkeeper, Eoin Reilly adopted a similar method in taking his unsuccessful penalty in Saturday’s Allianz League game.
