I just think that lads from rival Counties pretending they're from others is a blight on the forum. That particular contributor has been disrupting debate for too long. I wouldn't mind but his own county, Monaghan, are currently in a great place. He should concentrate on supporting them. On another note, Longford are struggling at the minute.

https://www.rte.ie/sport/football/2023/0321/1365522-no-easy-fix-to-games-ills-after-poor-league/ I have the greatest respect for Lee Keegan. One of the greatest to never win an AI. And this is not a criticism of his article but my thoughts on it. Lee opens his article by lamenting the state of Gaelic Football , the packed defence and the lateral play to counteract it. He then closes his article by praising Mickey Hartes Louth and their packed defence and the lateral game that has raised these minnows of the game to be contenders. And that is where we are. Managers have figured a way to bring the game to a level where any group of bonded players singing of the same sheet can compete with the elite counties of the sport. The game is in transition and people's expectation will change. This is the evolution of all things. Even Aussie rules have changed. There is no longer space, even in those vast expanses, for the Gary Abletts Jason Dunstalls etc to chalk up their 100 goals per year. Scoring 100 goals a year is now a rarity as compared to 15 year ago. Derryman2 (Derry) - Posts: 12 - 23/03/2023 08:46:24 2465939 Link
Replying To Saynothing: "In soccer the players have near 650 sq metres space, in GAA the players have near 1000 sq metres. Plenty of space." No sure how you do Maths - but large Croke Park pitch is 145 x 88 = 12,760 sq m, or 425.33 sq m for each of the 30 players. omahant (USA) - Posts: 2570 - 24/03/2023 21:15:02 2466365 Link
Would the Joe Brolly "Exclusion Zone" improve Gaelic football? It would certainly change it! - for the better, in my opinion - but it would need to be trialled. https://www.independent.ie/sport/gaelic-games/exclusion-zone-can-destroy-blanket-joe-brolly-outlines-his-plan-to-make-football-a-skill-based-spectacle-once-again-37368216.html Joe Brolly says: "I am proposing that the scoring zone around the goals becomes an exclusion zone, where a defending player can only man-mark - no one can take up a space there unless he is man-marking. We have trialled this and it looks great. So, there would be a semi-circle (marked in fluorescent yellow) from the end line, 10 metres in from each sideline, running to 35 metres at its tip". For easier policing by the linesman, I would have a 'rectangular' Exclusion Zone - say, at a new 33 metre broken line - defender is "offside" is behind the 33 without an attacking player. omahant (USA) - Posts: 2570 - 24/03/2023 21:32:33 2466368 Link

Nonsense, playing Gaelic football evolves with time. Officials can't keep players out of the wee square, in on top of goalies so now he wants this. In soccer if a team kept the ball and play back and forwards until they got an opening for goal people would be raving about the great play.

Gaelic football has morphed into a rugby type game where the ball is not kicked any more but passed back and forth with multiple opponents converging on the player in possession. The only players capable of pointing a forty five (with a few exceptions) is the goalie. Watching teams like Derry and Armagh would put you to sleep, fair play to Lee Keegan for calling it out. tireoghainabu (Tyrone) - Posts: 274 - 25/03/2023 11:33:10 2466406 Link
