Replying To Ajam2777: "Wonder will the attendances be down for the club championship. The product being provided is now very unattractive. The players are trained to robot status but for entertainment and excitement the football gaa product. The gaa as a whole must address the negative tactics which is killing the game. I don't know how it's resolved but major surgery is required" Probably more so the e tickets Shearer (Louth) - Posts: 857 - 16/09/2024 13:13:28 2570133 Link
Replying To Shearer: "Probably more so the e tickets" Fair comment. Really is discriminating particularly for older people. I see the reasons for doing it but lads being turned away from games they've gone to all their lives is shocking stuff Ajam2777 (Louth) - Posts: 6 - 16/09/2024 13:51:16 2570145 Link

One time players were lauded for their fielding ability , kicking a dead ball off the ground , kicking with both legs or been able to solo , jink & weave your way through a defence . Nowadays it's beep tests , lifting weights , your height and weight and ability to retain possession rather than do anything creative with the ball sadly . I used attend football matchs in a number of counties but have largely given up , in Kerry you might still have pockets of Gaelic football but it's gone in most counties to athletes trying to play the game . In the likes of Limerick it's only family and a ever shrinking group of fanatics that attend club football matchs which's leads to athmosphere less grounds outside of all the negative tactics . hurler32 (Limerick) - Posts: 869 - 16/09/2024 13:56:12 2570148 Link

S&C, dieticians, stats men etc have taken over GAA. They need to get paid, so this agenda is pushed by them that lifting weights, fitness testing is the most important part of Gaelic football. How many clubs would hire a kicking coach over a S&C coach? Past hurler (None) - Posts: 791 - 16/09/2024 14:05:51 2570153 Link
Intermediate semi finals should be tight and even affairs. At this stage I'd say the SOMs must be favourite outright. Ajam2777 (Louth) - Posts: 6 - 17/09/2024 13:44:57 2570376 Link

Hunterstown v Mattock Rangers or S.O.M v the Gaels would be some tasty finals. I'm sticking with Hunterstown to win it. Ollie2 (Louth) - Posts: 867 - 17/09/2024 14:41:36 2570401 Link
Very hard to call Intermediate. I'm going with Collon Shearer (Louth) - Posts: 857 - 17/09/2024 16:39:31 2570424 Link

Now that my selection Kilkerley are gone I'll go for my No.2 SOM. Reckon they'll meet Hunterstown in final. 19616609 (Louth) - Posts: 1620 - 18/09/2024 23:26:12 2570647 Link
