The game is now more like the way All-Ireland 7's were played with back passing and side passing being the norm-Of Course there are some great matches, however most matches are difficult to watch with the day of individual skills being coached out of the game. Its is all about systems now with the manager being firmly in control with guys more often in the gymn then on the football pitch spending more time than most full-time professionals.

Going out to try knock the oppositions best player or break his leg like the good old days is cynicism too and cheating has always been a thing. All thats changed in that regard is you got older

Agree with this thread, most of the criticism these days is aimed at gaelic football and I feel it has never been better. We have cracking matches every weekend in the league. Look at the number of great forwards in the game - Clifford, Seanie O'Shea, Shane Walsh, Cathal McShane, Murphy, McBrearty, Conor McManus and the entire Dublin forward line. Brian Howard is just a joy to watch. It is more difficult than ever to score but somehow these great forwards and others still manage it.

I do agree with that in that there was a lot of serious stuff going on both on and off the ball. It is interesting now that you never see any club touraments.

Some of the negativity on the Galway forum has been huge. Some posters were moaning about the end of Galway GAA as recently as last October and November. They read the Sunday papers too much if you ask me. (Sunday papers and RTE sports tend to be fairly anti GAA) galwayford (Galway) - Posts: 2513 - 01/03/2020 19:24:29 2271302 Link 0 |
What annoys me is I watched Dublin vs monaghan and Dublin vs Tyrone matches on rte and the bias towards Dublin was shocking. Are the commentators not supposed to be impartial.I can't listen to the commentary any more I have to put on mute. It's just annoying I really didn't care who won but they nearly have me cheering for monaghan! tom84 (Cavan) - Posts: 334 - 01/03/2020 20:03:37 2271319 Link 0 |
Since when have commentators on TV or radio meant to be impartial? They havent ever really. Nearly always will be one who favours one or the other side playing

That's extremely paranoid about papers and TV.
