The CIA and the FBI have destroyed Gaelic Football.
CIA = Coaching Imbeciles Association
FBI = Foot Ball Idiots
FBI could also stand for “Fall Back Immediately” or “Foul Ball Immediately”.
The game has become infiltrated by online FSB (Fake Skills Broadcasters) double agents.
All we see now are KGB (Kill Games Basketballing) tactics.
Dublin’s dominance was the biggest issue in the game at inter-county level during the period from 2013-2020. Thankfully that suffocating dominance seems to be on the wane but it’s kind of ironic that the manager who instigated said period is now in charge of rectifying Gaelic football’s current malaise. The blanket defence emergence in 2011 certainly didn’t help but the game felt much better before 2010 because it was so much more competitive across all provinces and at all levels.
I’d argue that the blanket defence most debilitating effect is at club level where coaches on the “coaching circuit” introduce negative defensive systems while pocketing upwards of €100 per session. The funny part is that most club teams would perform better with an off the cuff approach with rudimentary tactics.
They were whinging about the blanket defence
In 2002
+1. There’ll be at least 2 (two) more unhappy players on every club panel across the country. Would they still allow 5 subs even? Plus there wouldn’t be sufficient peripheral players to power a 3rd team (or 4th team in bigger areas) by two players being cut from senior/intermediate and junior A/B. It would be a nightmare for lads on the cusp of starting on a team.
It has happened at underage levels in smaller rural clubs mind you.
2003 perhaps and Tyrone’s swarm defence? There were some tremendous championships in the early 00’s when we’d have first started following GAA. The 90’s seemed like a tremendous period too. A pity the gulf grew between the haves and have nots in the meantime.
It’s like an igloo.
It’s like a gaa pitch with an extra line
Additional arcs, at least one of which looks like it needed a second go with the protractor, morse code or something across centrefield, and lingering rugby lines.
3 lines
There’s no one scoring from there FFS😃
Could we put outer posts like afl ? Half point for a kick through them ?
This could be the end of split season too. This was a step too far for the zealots
Who the fuck is Conaire Mackin?
Jim Gavin?
The zealots never foresaw the consequences of their actions.
