Thereâs a vocal cohort who seemingly prefer to see keepers chipping it short.
Contests and excitement bad. Boring good.
They generally have âGAA Coachâ on their bios, and a picture of them wearing a tracksuit, looking concerned, with an earpiece prominently stuck on at least one ear.
And you can be 100% sure that theyâre not managing their own club.
Indeed.
High fielding and winning breaks was and is great to watch.
John Heslin was talking on Sunday about the misfortune of his 14 year intercounty career coinciding with the Dubs 14 Leinster wins. Poor Brian Fentons career coinciding with the era when midfielders were just dogsbodies was equally as unfortunate - had he had chance to win a few kickouts he could have been known as one of the games all time greats.
The damage and sway that these cunts have and have done is immeasurable. A cottage industry of spoofology.
Armagh won 23 out of 24 kickouts they took at the weekend. Theyâre the All-Ireland champions. McGeeney has been commonly ridiculed on here.
Thatâs not spoofology, itâs top, top coaching.
Youâd feel for Fenton massively. A talent ignored.
In fairness, the new rules make the loss of Fenton even bigger than it already was, he was a monster in the air.
But is OâCofaigh Byrne really the next best fielder of a ball in Dublin?
I know theyâve maximised movement on the short kickout for years and became master of that but is the stereotype not that they just pick big, strong fellas who can run? Surely one of those types of fellas can jump and contest a kickout?
Hurling needs to slow down the express puckout on a wide. It is a blight on the game, allowing for easy shooting and excess scoring.
Exactly. Teams who have just shot a score or a wide should get 10 or 15 seconds to reset. Possession should be earned, these quick puck outs to loose men are reminiscent of training games.
You wouldnât even allow them in a training game as theyâre junk possessions
Club game this evening - game was a draw gone into injury time. We turned the ball over, and carried it down the field to about the arc area. As is our wont we stopped then and started playing laterally, after about forty seconds of which the ref blew the game dead.
Where there is no hooter (as was the case this eve) it is at the refâs discretion I assume?
Correct. Take the shot.
Thatâs exactly what I suggested in slightly more vigourous terms
Iâd say he got sick of looking at them.
âKick the fuckin thingâ
The kinnerkbot needs time to reboot.
Quel surprise. The systems and laptop guys in both codes want more time to reset now that the more mentally agile entertaining teams are beating their robotic moneyball.
