I wouldn't say plenty at all, we can all dismiss what we don't like by copping out and calling it "clichéd rubbish", without realizing that the term "clichéd rubbish" is that biggest cliché of them all.

If a team have the ball in there own have and if they cross there own 45 with ball the team should not be allowed to go back behind 45 with ball. The must go forward. If they pass back behind the 45 they will have to give up the ball to other team. Very easy for linesman to call if it happens

Replying To AfricanGael: What you're saying though could be applied to anything in life, that the average car today is better than a car from the 70's or whatever, but that's totally irrelevant. Loughduff Lad (Cavan) - Posts: 2383 - 27/05/2021 16:13:42 2345933 Link 2 |

The game is grand. Overly cautious coaching has made it less of a spectacle for some. There are emerging signs that some coaches might throw more caution to the wind in 2021. GreenandRed (Mayo) - Posts: 7345 - 27/05/2021 19:02:03 2345977 Link 4 |

Its impossible to compare different eras.In reality one might say the modern players would beat past players easily but if the older players were playing now they would be fitter,better looked after, play on better pitches and more coaching so who knows.Backs that time tended to balloon the ball away but if the were playing now that would nt happen.Also there are some players today doing very well that are outstanding athletes but not great footballers.They would nt have made it years back.Also the game was tougher back then and very little diving like today.I also agree we look through rose tinted glasses at times and sometimes the standard was nt great but a tight game was exciting and I agree the keep ball tactic makes the game boring and was nt in back then.Now as a Kerryman I have to admit the first time I saw the keep ball tactic being used was by Dr Crokes of Kerry as far back as the 90s when the were managed by Pat O shea (who was a brilliant basketball player who played for Ireland).A poster mentioned a few days about the keep ball tactics Kerry employed in the last few minutes v Dublin in the o7 semi final.Well Kerry then were managed by the forementioned Pat O Shea.Needs must and we all want to win.Ironically when Kerry dismantled the Donegal blanket in 14 many Kerry fans while thrilled with the win but criticised Eamon Fitzmaurice over his tactics.When he played attacking football v mayo in 17 semi and drew he was criticised for a weak defense.For replay he went defensive .Mayo beat Kerry and Fitzmaurice got lots of heat.At the end of the day its all about the result.Finally on the eras there are many of the players from the 70 s 80 s and 90 s would be super players today also.The likes of Matt Connor Mickey Linden Pat Spilane Maurice Fitzgerald Jacko Shea Brian Mullins Ciaran Duff Kevin Moran Anthony Tohill Tony Mc Manus Dermot Earley Val Daly Liam Mc hale Ciaran Mc Donald Dinny Allen Larry Tompkins Trevor Giles Colm O Rourke Glen Ryan Deaclan Browne Oisin Mc Conville Peter Canavan would all make it in any era without a doubt.

The crowd do love it. Ignorance is bliss and all that. That was the pinnacle of the game... at the time. I don't think we need to go back to that. I've been to plenty of recent games where the crowd have loved it to. Was at both Mayo Kerry semis in 2017 for instance. The first game was incredible excitement from start to finish. Class.

Agree, and you know why games like that are incredible ? Because teams like Mayo and Kerry want to play football, isn't that what I've been telling you, play the fn game and stop this messing around like the so called "greatest team ever" :-). A team will emerge who will go man on man with Dublin and if the cynical cheating is kept in check by an impartial ref, the Dublin basketballers will be put firmly back in their box.

I think he's been shown up as another one who's bitter of Dublin's success rather than discussing the actual topic. There's definitely tactics and passages of play I dislike about the modern game. I do think the criticism at times is so over the top and just annoys me the drivel that gets spouted about how the games gone and the like. I've really enjoyed the last few championships, I'm hoping some teams figure out how to counter Dublin's keep ball. It would be better if the competition was more open again and I'd be happy for keep ball to go the way of the ultra mass defence and die out as a legitimate winning tactic. I'd rather it happen naturally than having more tinkering to the rules. Whammo86 (Antrim) - Posts: 4225 - 28/05/2021 12:39:56 2346064 Link 5 |
