Some major rule-changes put to a vote by the gathering of delegates in the walled city.
Here are some of the highlights from the decisions taken before lunch.
Passed
Motion 4: The Black Card.
The introduction of a new black card to deal with five specific cynical fouls required a two-thirds majority and was passed with 71% of the vote.
A player shown the black card will be sent from the field of play, to be replaced by a substitute. The rule will come into force on January 1 2014. The five player actions covered by the black card are:
Aggressively remonstrating with an official.
Pulling down an opponent.
Deliberately tripping an opponent.
Body-checking after the ball is played.
Using threatening, abusive or provocative language to an opponent.
Motion 19: Advantage.
This motion was passed and allows a referee wait five seconds after an offence to see whether a team can obtain an advantage by playing on.
Motion 22: Open-handed point.
A large majority of delegates passed the motion which now allows a point to be scored with an open-palm as opposed to the fist.

Motion 24: Public clock.
For the second time, congress has vowed to implement a public clock at senior championship fixtures to allow the attending crowd clearly see how much time has been played.
Motion 27: Jersey branding.
90% of delegates approved the motion to allow more than one sponsor appear on jerseys.
Motion 52: Hawk-Eye.
Technology will be used on a trial basis in Croke Park after congress voted overwhelmingly in favour of it.
The trial will take place over a period yet to be confirmed by central council. In that period Hawk-Eye will be available to a referee or umpire to help clarify whether a point has been scored, or if the result should be a wide or 45/65.
Motion 54: ‘Enshrining’ Anti-Sectarian / Anti-Racist stance into official guide.
90% of delegates voted in favour of the motion which provides for a 96-week suspension for:
“Any conduct by deed, word or gesture of sectarian or racist nature or which is contrary to the principles of inclusion and diversity against a player, official, spectator or anyone else, in the course of activities organised by the Association, shall be deemed to have discredited the Association.”
The proposed change allowed for the ball to be moved forward 30 metres if a player delayed a quick free being taken. The motion was the first to be defeated on day two of congress.
Motion 20: The Mark.
The motion to allow a player who has cleanly caught a kick-out past the 45 metre line take an unchallenged kick or play on with the ball in hand needed a two-thirds majority. The motion narrowly failed.
Motion 21: The Clean Pick-up.
A rule which would have allowed players (under certain conditions) to use their hands to pick the ball off the ground received only 46% of support.
Motion 25: 70 minute duration for all adult games.
A massive 83% of delegates voted against the motion. Adult games at club level will remain at 60 minutes.
Motion 49: Release of teams to the media.
The motion proposed demanded that senior championship teams would be announced four days before a game. The motion failed to reach a two-thirds majority.
Motion 71: To play All-Ireland finals one week earlier.
Cork clubs Nemo Rangers and St Nicholas’ proposal to play the All-Ireland senior finals one week earlier to give club games more space in the calendar was opposed by 74% of delegates.
@Paul Jennings: it’s not man management. he gets game time here and there because In klopps eyes the other 4 are better then him. he has scored some v important goals for Liverpool but will eventually get fed up and will want more active game time and move on.
@Macca1986: precisely the definition of man management, he gets used when needed because there are better players ahead of him. But he gets credit when he gets in and delivers, so he stays and is a useful squad member when called upon….
@Paul Jennings: no bucko it not . He comes out and says” im shocked no one came in for him in d summer’ thats as good as saying he can go. But in the other breath he is coming out about his next manager total cr ap very much like your comment to me
@Seanie Bourke: That’s not man management. He is encouraging him to go by saying he needs to get more game time. Klopp is clearly desperate to sell him
@Seanie Bourke: it’s the truth. Origi isn’t as good as the other 4 so doesn’t play that often. Klopp is showing respect by saying he deserves to play more in general… It just won’t be at Liverpool.
@Graham Ryall: yes another runners up medal to add to the prem league one, the champs league one, the super cup one and the fifa World Cup ones that he won with LFC. Sorry those ones aren’t runners up ones. Not a bad haul at LFC. And you are right the seasons far from over but if you think LFC aren’t contenders then maybe stick a few quid on Newcastle to top the prem league come end of season! Money for jam son.
Hes another Solksjaer only not as good and he(Ole) was quite happy being a squad player…
If you’re picking up handy money and winning Medals then you’re more than likely going to stay put.. Origi is exactly that
@Johnny Mads: it’s a fine comparison in terms of their value to a team. Impact subs. Very important CL goals. I don’t think Ole get half the plaudits he gets from utd fans without the 99 final. Divock had a very similar season in CL.
@Max Bailey: bit of a premature comparison there, Ole done what he had to do and steadied the Ship, just like some relationships it ran its course. Origi is almost a super sub but he’s a bit to go yet to get near Oles level for scoring goals off the Bench and just like Ole makes very little difference when he actually starts a game..
That is some statement from that Manager — talking out of both sides of his mouth . ” one of the best strikers I ever seen”" — but he cannot get into the team, only now and again. What kind of nonsense is he talking???.
@Eugene Comaskey: What Klopp actually said was he’s one of the best ‘finishers’ not ‘striker’…two very different things. And Origi can’t get into the team because there’s four of the best strikers in the world ahead of him, pretty simple really.

@Macca1986: it’s total man management he is needed as back up so when he playes well u praise in to keep him happy all managers do it
@Paul Jennings: hate to say it but Ur the c!own,big time
@Paul Jennings: no bucko it not . He comes out and says” im shocked no one came in for him in d summer’ thats as good as saying he can go. But in the other breath he is coming out about his next manager total cr ap very much like your comment to me
@Seanie Bourke: That’s not man management. He is encouraging him to go by saying he needs to get more game time. Klopp is clearly desperate to sell him
@Seanie Bourke: it’s OK for us to comment that’s why klopp is the manager and a good 1 at that too
@Seanie Bourke: it’s the truth. Origi isn’t as good as the other 4 so doesn’t play that often. Klopp is showing respect by saying he deserves to play more in general… It just won’t be at Liverpool.
@Paul Jennings: No, it’s called ” talking out of the two sides of his mouth”. B…….t talk.
@Mickety Dee: Everton will buy him for £50million, and that will be the last we hear of him…
This is Divock Origi’s World and we’re just living in it
He’s welcome at Elland Road at any stage, quality player.
Another runners-up medal for the lad before he leaves. 7 minutes they spent on top and yet they think its May
@Graham Ryall: yes another runners up medal to add to the prem league one, the champs league one, the super cup one and the fifa World Cup ones that he won with LFC. Sorry those ones aren’t runners up ones. Not a bad haul at LFC. And you are right the seasons far from over but if you think LFC aren’t contenders then maybe stick a few quid on Newcastle to top the prem league come end of season! Money for jam son.
@Graham Ryall: only a United w@nk would say thay
@Graham Ryall: Man u supporter I guess
@Graham Ryall: what a t00ser!go and get an education
@Graham Ryall: your whinging and tears bring me joy. Understandable though, given that we cleared out your own stadium for yas. Lol.
Hes another Solksjaer only not as good and he(Ole) was quite happy being a squad player…
If you’re picking up handy money and winning Medals then you’re more than likely going to stay put.. Origi is exactly that
@Darren: bit of a premature comparison
@Johnny Mads: how he’s hardly anywhere near Oles level now??
@Johnny Mads: it’s a fine comparison in terms of their value to a team. Impact subs. Very important CL goals. I don’t think Ole get half the plaudits he gets from utd fans without the 99 final. Divock had a very similar season in CL.
