The Gaelic Football Thread

Certainly good for leinster football ,they were going for 15 leinster titles in a row.
Ah, the sweet, delicious irony of Dublin’s collapse under the new rules.
Jim Gavin, the anointed, so-called “genius,” the “visionary,” the media’s golden boy was endlessly worshipped for turning Dublin into a joyless process, robotic possession machine.
Between him and Jimmy McGuinness, they stripped Gaelic football of whatever joy and soul it had and made it a grim, cynical slog.
Now, with the game under new rules abc finally being dragged back from the wreckage Gavin left behind, it’s only right that Dublin are the first to be exposed!! Exactly the downfall their brand of anti-football deserves.
😂😂

V harsh on the dubs I think.
Play had to adapt to beat what was in front of them.
And they had 4-5 the best players I’ve ever fucking seen.

Yeah. They were caught out by Donegal when they were "trying to play the right way" and Gavin rightly changed course. The possession football they and pretty much every other team adopted was in response to the blanket defence, which was the root cause of the problem.

Gavin's teams were actually very clinical even when they moved to the possession based play, always good speed and movement. It was under Dessie they lost that and it became like watching paint dry.
