No. Or at least I very much doubt it.

This connected to the assault on their manager last year?

Where did you say drive it or give the ball away? When you wrote your preference was to “move a ball on the ground or in the air if it does not go to hand”. Because that is giving the ball away. How many times does a ground stroke or overhead pull lead to a turnover in possession? Answer: almost alw...

Absolutely correct on the snooker analogy. I couldn't believe what I was reading further up the page. Aimless ground hurling is gone. As you said if you concede possession now at the top level, the opposition will most likely generate a scoring chance from it, whereas in the past if the ball was los...

Have a read of this if you want some analysis backed up with facts:

Newsflash! The earth is not flat. I don't see the logic in giving the ball away to the opposition. The difference is that in the old days you could give the ball away without consequence, because you'd get it back again 10 seconds later. Now, give the ball away and you are effectively conceding a sc...

Like yourself, I mean no slight on any of the players involved, but I generally agree with the tone of your message. And until the culture of 'drive it, drive it' is abandoned, the gulf will continue. Watch any matches next weekend closely - how many will see a team make three consecutive passes wit...

I meant to post this before but never got the chance. My sympathy to his family on their loss. 1953 Senior debut in goals for Drumcullen in their 3-7 to 2-6 win over Tullamore. Doesn’t feature in the next game two months later when Drumcullen’s 4 in a row bid is ended at the semi-final stage by Rah...

Vincent Hogan's recollection of that day in August 1998 from yesterday's Irish Independent https://www.independent.ie/sport/gaelic-games/hurling/the-day-of-the-short-whistle-the-missing-minutes-and-the-pitch-protests-that-changed-hurling-history-39156051.html And here's my description of the build-u...

The situation could best be summed up with the words of Paul Brady’s song: “there’s no use in askin’ / the answer is nobody knows” . And in fairness, I wouldn’t be criticising anyone for not knowing. But anyway. We really won’t know how to schedule the club season until they see how the intercounty ...

Ah, Whelahan was Offaly's best hurler. There were several on that team whose likes we will never see again (John Troy, Johnny Dooley, Martin Hanamy) but Whelahan had everything. His stickwork was sublime, his reading of the game was incredible. 'How did he know the ball was going to be there?' was a...

I don't know if anyone has paid too much attention, but there are new regrading by-laws (which might have been introduced last year). Instead of regrading up to seven players who played Senior last year, clubs must now list 18 players who were previously graded Senior who can only play Senior in 202...

It might be different in Senior A football where there most clubs have a sizable population, but hosting a home Senior match would put a massive strain on resources. Go to a match at any rural venue and the same fellas (and ladies) you see on the gate, parking cars and generally helping out are the ...

I presume the one you mention was when McManus was in possession of the ball when the referee stopped play and was awarded an indirect free, which is as per rule. Which is why McManus didn't attempt a score from what was a scoreable position. I was way too far away from the incident to tell whether ...

Eoghan had a bandage on his thigh afterwards. Might have been a hamstring injury.

Looking a Cahill going off I thought I saw him limping so maybe he was injured? We should however have an able second free taker and a third to be honest

Getting playable pitches at the moment is a big problem. I'd say there aren't too many that could take a match right now.
