It’s desperation to turn the game to professional.
Lads watching the nfl and thinking I want a piece of that.
What made the games great is they were amateur. Almost no sport is conducive to professionalism bar soccer and that could be changing.
When you go professional it means very very few can compete.
Just go back to basics. Keep it simple.
Interesting article. Johnny Callinan’s suggestion about a permanent 'rules committee is a good one. Seems to work reasonably well in rubby.
Hooter is stupid. Should use it to call last play and play til there is a break then
I think making 65s indirect would be a good move. Used to be an incredible skill to point them (Jaysus Seanie McMahon used to be borderline unique) but now it’s routine. Have lads drop them in
The return of the ‘schemozzle’ in the goalmouth’ would be no bad thing
You know what would happen if they did that. Fellas would take them backways, sideways anyways but forward so as to try “to work a point.” Coaches have the games destroyed.
Are there many coaches out there who added to the game who decent intercounty players?
No, I like it. It would certainly spread out the six forwards. They’d be no hay makers into the square any more.
The sliotar is gone too light for a direct score.
Yeah twould have to go forward
I can name you loads of good intercounty players who were shit coaches/managers. (most of them coached Laois)
Now that you mention it Franny Forde’s suggested innovation was for a ‘time out’. Coaches looking for more power.
Franny is far from the worst of them in fairness
But can you answer the question that was asked or should I wait for someone else?
Limerick did that without a rule change
Depends on whats lens you’re looking through
It was a health and safety thing
Every other team took breaks too
In fairness your question sounds grammatically incorrect.
Lads spending a million quid a year preparing teams and all they needed was a €5 white board
and a good marker…
