Pissing rain. Pitch already sodden. Grass 4-6 inches long. Sliotar invisible much of the time. Lads struggling to pull on it let alone rise it and get a strike away. Thank fuck it was at home and i didnt have to drive to stillorgan for it today…

I swear to God, these cunts think they’re reinventing the wheel. Spidey has a fella slowing down a lad catching a hopping ball on a boggy wet ground and marvelling that he took steps to do it, and this cunt is explaining one of the most known rules to us. Pricks.

I’m afraid to post things like this anymore because I get abuse for hating everyone.
You are very correct.
Honestly the circlejerk on Twitter is grim… and you see the same people liking, retweeting and commenting on eachother’s posts with your ‘well said Shane, good observation’ type guff.
I see a lad tweeting a course about layering in Gaelic Football.
Layering.
Wtf.

I used layering in a conversation with a coach last night.
In the old days you’d be banned for a month for a comment like that.
Forget about layering. Scanning is the be all and end all.
Very hard to get lads to lift their heads and scan.
Lads are too comfortable playing the safe 5 yard pass, into of lifting the head and moving the ball 20 or 30 yards with a slightly more risky pass.
I’ve started using “recall” a lot more lately too. You can use it in conjunction with layering.
What did we do last week?
How does that fit into our principles of play?
Now we are going to repeat that but this time add in x,y,z.
Big Darragh Egan said this time last year that Wexford hurlers were working on layering their game during the winter. Seemed to work a treat.
I understand scanning, but wtf is layering?
As the name suggests, layering one skill/principle on top of another.
As in you work on forcing a turnover
Then you work on what you do once you’ve forced it.
Then how you deliver the ball into attack
Basically it’s playing the game!

Ah right, that makes sense.
That’s a fairly basic tenet of coaching, that everything is joined-up, you can’t do things in isolation really.
So you’re telling me there’s no point in a ball wall…
I’m not Kev
Some tactics. Boot the ball in long to the best player in the country.

Bullshit. Innit.
Looking for something where it doesn’t exist.
