The Gaelic Football Thread

[Yorkman]

I’m enjoying it anyway.

There’s never any atmosphere at these QF’s.

The 2002 quarter finals were fantastic atmospheres and great buzz around Dublin for them.

Definitely some dastardly crowd from the north, as we all know kerry only
Play pure football

Donegal 2011 vs Dublin was the first game I remember being played this way but Dublin Tyrone semi final in 2017/2018 was the first time I remember getting really worried about the state of the game.

To me it’s the effort needed to compete at this level is driving this, players and managers invest so much that they’re petrified of making a mistake (comments in another thread show this). Typically when the training/game ratio was raised, the gaa increased the number of games rather than reduce training load.

On the gaago point, have the gaa ever released viewing figures?

Just hit it.

 

[Pontipine]

Why did they not shoot into the open goal?

 

[PROCNA2018]

When they move it fast it works

 

[SoundsAboutRight]

The amount of tapping or handpassing over when a goal could be worked in Gaelic Football is depressing. Even Dublin are hugely guilty of it.

You wouldn't see it in rugby

Who started this shite. Was it Tyrone mid 2000 s

Kerry were playing this way throughout the 00s. 15 men behind ball. A fact that is totally glossed over of course.
Remember 09 final when they parked the bus against Cork.
Yet according to RTE they were like Brazil

Is it Murphy the Kerry no.2 ? Unbelievable work rate - driving them on

Derry have to employ plan B



Oops- there’s no Plan B. This is Mickey.


Derry will have to do plan A - but harder.
