I think analysis is useful in an overall sense, are we doing enough tackles.
Where is there space on their kickouts etc.
What style of play do they have, where are they leaving space etc
But single moments of play are fairly pointless to be analysing.
Heād makes out like everything is a brilliant premeditated move, where as most times you only have a splity second to make a decision. Sometimes its as simple as a gap opens up and you go for it. The better players need smaller gaps, or manage to find more of them.
I would be shocked if any county analyst, including Boyne himself, would ever show something like that in a video analysis session.
That particular example isnāt something you can really teach, itās about making the right decision in the moment. And the way you teach that is by replicating the intensity of matchday scenarios in training as much as possible.
Stuff like showing weaknesses in an oppositionās game is still very useful imo.
The other one you hear a lot on TSG is a player deliberately shot to a certain side of a goalkeeper as he knew he was weak there. Any lad will tell you that there simply isnāt time to do it - you are hitting it on target.
The other one players Iāve spoken to mention is the influence of the crowd in a big match and that alerts you to the space or the chance. You get the ball, crowds gets noisy as you are in lots of space and you might drive on.
Tbf he has a very valid point. Prices have more than doubled in last few years for all of the car parks. The Green car park bus must show up every 45 minutes too.
Ah he wasnāt a huge size, had battled the booze for a good while and gotten on top of that, was always taking up various fitness challenges. Good man to carry a tune as well. Iām pretty sure he did a piece with Paddy OāGorman from RTE radio one time and burned the ears off him after randomly bumping in to him on the street
