Why wont die hard GAA fans admit football these days is muck?

Looking at the Galway -Armagh game now……what a complete load of rubbish.

How can folk defend this offering as any kind of an entertaining watch??

Crowd quiet, commentators struggling to inject any excitement, complete borefest.

Keepers come out to contribute to attacking play, not in any defensive role. Making them stay near the goals would take away from this positive aspect.

Correct, Practically everyone interested in Gaelic Football realizes that changes must be made to improve the product.

The spectators, the commentators, the pundits, the players , the ex players, the top brass, etc etc.

There are a few contrarians who go about waving clipboards who it would seem want the current walking pace

shunting around of groups of players is an entertaining watch.

Most sensible realize changes are needed.

Kieran McGeeney wouldn't agree. He was on the radio again after the Armagh game today, saying how much better the current format is than what went before. He was especially dismissive of the nonsene that people come up with about Mickey Mouse games in the groups.

Correct, you see, Pee, unfortunately there are folk out there who can’t see the wood from the trees.

Are there people out there who seem to think everything is ‘hunky-dory’ in Gaelic Football when

from the very top down the personnel know that change is needed?

The clipboard and statistic nerds need to be curbed and quickly before Gaelic Football becomes

a Procession of players trundling around the field and any atmosphere and excitement is gone.

It’s like that at a lot of games already….luckily GAA management have stepped in before it’s too late

Just heard Ja on the radio and if anyone is in doubt about his opinion on the state of Gaelic football …its there on Morning Ireland.

Ja is a good communicator and indeed emphasised that all proposals will be thoroughly teased out before any changes are made.

The committee is a very strong one and I have every hope that they will act in the best interests of Gaelic football.

Its badly needed.

"It shouldn't matter what the players want"

Of all the brain-dead ignorant comments that the whingers have come up with on this thread that there takes the biscuit.

That is a frightening level of stupidity displayed in just a few words.

It reminds me of the time Roy Keane highlighted the FAI administrators travelling first-class, while the players were in economy. I mean, they're only the players, how important could they possibly be, especially compared to the people who really matter? HUH???

You've really outdone yourself this time.

You are completely wrong here. Sport data has gone so, so far now that no matter what rule changes are brought in, data analysts and performance analysts will figure out over time what the high percentage strategies are for their team.

It’s getting bigger and more important every year - GAA still a million miles behind the curve so I’m afraid you’re only gonna see more of it while they try to catch up.

You think that armchair "fans" like yourself are more important than the players. Ha ha. Please, please drop the mask now, and admit that you are just trolling. Cause if you aren't, you need to have a serious chat with yourself.

You said in a previous post that you will have to agree to disagree with another poster. I would be amazed if anyone agrees with your ridiculous statement. I have gone to a fair few intercounty matches since the beginning of the year. Maybe 15? But that is nothing in comparison to what all of the players have contributed in the past 5 months or so. All the time training. All the sacrifices. I'm paying a few bob to go to the matches. But I am the one getting great entertainment for my money. Just out of curiousity, in terms of the entertainment industry - who do you think is more important - the artists making music, or the fans getting the enjoyment; or actors/directors making movies, or the audience sitting on their ar$es watching the movies?

You really have no idea.

It will have to "improve" a lot to satisfy someone who think it is muck.
