Therein lies the issue, if they spent less time in the gym and more in the field kicking the ball we might have better more interesting spectacles. As a man once said to me "You can't kick a kettle bell over the bar". peiledoir20 (Donegal) - Posts: 978 - 04/10/2024 09:27:00 2572994 Link 1 |
This would be a valid point if we were still in the 70's

People often say the quality in the 70s wasn't good. Is it any better nowadays? Players might be fitter and a lot better conditioned but 2 yard handpasses to a teammate is hardly riveting fare. Fair enough there was plenty of stray kick passes in the 70s but at least there was a kick pass. They're like hens teeth nowadays. And it's turning people away from attending games. peiledoir20 (Donegal) - Posts: 978 - 04/10/2024 12:21:04 2573019 Link 1 |

players up until the late 90s couldnt kick the ball off the ground for the most part I mean just watch the 1992 games, some terrible kicking, especially the semi against Mayo Manus was the only good striker of the ball in that team I would say the quality is by far better now, and I dont get the obsession with kick passes. The game is not as bad as people make out eddieSize5Balls (Donegal) - Posts: 82 - 04/10/2024 22:58:59 2573104 Link 1 |
What. players cudnt kick the ball off the ground. What about Martin mc Hugh. Declan bonner. Marty Carlin all brilliant kickers. You obviously didn't see much football in them days so I don't know how you can really comment on it. As for today's football it's an absolute borefest ..
