Allianz National Football League 2025

Two points for a free 38 metres straight in front.

And people give out about academic grades being artificially inflatedā€¦

Oā€™Curraoinā€™s free taking is top class.

Then he picks up a stupid black card.

Sam wonā€™t be going outside of Kerry, Donegal or Galway this year.

Shane Walsh gets the Man Of The Match award and then suffers the Ray Cosgrove style humiliation of being subbed off after coming on as a sub.

Shane Walsh warming up for a future career as a pundit with that interview.

Tough start for FOTF Stevie Poacher away to Clare.

A grim day in fortress O Moore Park. Might get worse before it gets better. Great to see a goalie score a goal though. Itā€™s what everyone wants to see

Justy admirably sticking to pre FRC tactics today with the trusty stubbornness long associated with an Armagh man

Football higher scoring than hurling now. Monaghan westmeath 2-29 to 2-21. 54 scores by my quick maths.
Bloody missed last 5 minutes of derry kerry thinking was going to be routine derry victory

Be a tough pill for the hurling snobs to swallow.

Kinnerk ruined hurling with his tippy crappy football drills. And now football is breaking out of that aul shite.

Yeah. Unbelievable when tyrone v armagh is higher scoring than cork v Limerick

We now need to run the bluffers out of hurling too

Hopefully the era of those snake oil salesmen going around the country is at an end.

A good few of those were two pointers so itā€™s slightly inflated but Dublin coming back to the pack combined with these new rules could transform the public perception on football.

Kildare beat Dublin today in the wimins. The dominos are falling.

Funnily enough for years the football crowd were saying it was too easy to score in hurling

Game has changed hugely. A team can forget about it if short on height for the middle and a spread of 2-point kickers.

Dry ground warm day championship could see huge point totals.

Lovely, thereā€™s a place for the big midfielder again :clap:

In Jim we trust.

He needs to look at hurling now too.

Although. When push comes to shove I expect a reversion to 12 behind the ball at all times and games to be deuces by free kicks from outside the 2 point arc. Which will be boring AF.

Everyone seems to be in agreement to stop goalies coming out and get rid of 2 point frees but I presume thereā€™s a reason jim and the gang are keeping them in.
Id imagine with the free one they just think teams will foul anyone about to kick a two pointer from play. Canā€™t think of a good reasoning for the goalie one but I presume there is one.
