Who says anything about ending the running game ? You would just need more skilled footballers to execute the shorter kicks and make it a bit more of a spectacle

What do you mean 'now that a Kerry team has done it', this has been going on for some time. Let's not play favorites here, audit the last few years rather than one game. The only good thing out of crokes winning for me was Cooper getting a well deserved club all Ireland medal. He has been sinned against as an individual on the pitch and despite what your feelings are about who he happens to play for, he should be admired for his skill and conduct.

What the hell are you talking lad. Tyrone more cynical that Donegal?? The Donegal bench at the u21 game in the final minute when Tyrone attacking kicked 2 footballs on to pitch to get the game stopped. That is the most cynical thing I've seen in my life. All counties are cynical at times. Get over it The_Fridge (Tyrone) - Posts: 2088 - 18/03/2017 15:59:44 1968156 Link 1 |

It's certainly not the first time a Kerry side has played in a cynical manner though yesterday's performance by Crokes was possibly as cynical as anything we have seen from a Kerry team. I was just pointing out that 9 months ago many Tyrone and Donegal posters recognised that it was a sensible tactic used by many sides, including their own, in the modern game. Now we have them lining up to say how disgraceful Crokes are and trying to claim their own teams never used systematic fouling as a tactic. It's laughable nonsense. I remember 6 different members of 1 minor team being yellow carded for fouling the same player in an All-ireland minor football final.

A term no doubt used between the same family members in Kerry.

A lot of these posters had their minds made up long before ball was thrown in. Any excuse to have a go

Not much has changed for Dr Crokes - from a report on the Munster GAA site on a match between Dr Crokes and Kilmurry-Ibrickane: essmac (Tyrone) - Posts: 1141 - 18/03/2017 17:15:43 1968184 Link 1 |
Yeah and if Tyrone was ahead, they probably would lie on the ground like a PL player from a gust of wind....again, people on this site seem to have a problem understanding the English language, once more for these people.... I said more cynical

The part I was laughing at was the suggestion that teams who play the defensive system didn't necessarily use cynical fouling as a tactic - fouling in the opponents half when you lose the ball is a key part of it. As Muck pointed out in the other thread Donegal have been doing it for years as have many other sides, for posters to try and claim otherwise is just wrong. There was far too much of it in Tralee last night as well. Any time the GAA have tried to do something about this it has been opposed by influential managers who rely on it as a tactic - maybe now that a Kerry team have won an All-ireland with it there may be more appetite for change. I agree with you entirely that it's widespread and needs to be addressed. Soma (UK) - Posts: 2630 - 19/03/2017 08:50:17 1968385 Link 2 |
