Re: Football Review Committee Survey
My suggestions were: Restrict the handpass. Allow the pick up from the ground. Teams to be 13 a side. Restructure the championship to say 32 teams. The present structure based on the provincial system, based on the number of counties, means some teams start their campaign much later than others. Ba...

Re: Football Review Committee Survey
Ya I filled it in and I sent them an email on a few details aswell. Here's what I proposed for new football championship structure: While I do enjoy the Provincial Championships and I feel they give a tangible aim for most counties at the start of the year (not every team can aim to win the All-Ire...

Re: Revolution not reform needed in underage hurling
Johnny Flaherty and Ray Flannery were the head men in my time with the hurling development panels. Both are good men, love their hurling. They were great at teaching the basic skills of the game but never expanded on that.

In the 80s and 90s we won All Irelands by hurling along the ground. We took puckouts and 65s off the ground. We drank pints and ate our dinners off the ground as well.

Re: Offaly vs Cork - SHC Qualifier Rnd 2 07/07/2012
Its wasn't mean to take away from how good Shane Dooley is. My point was that having Dooley and Carroll in the one Forward Line is madness. This should not takeaway from how good Dooley is and how important he is to us. Every player has thing they can improve on. Dooley has a bad habit of letting h...
