So where's the line then joncarter? If the system deployed by Gilroy is acceptable but not what Derry did tonight? Just so we're all clear. Or is it just the line is when you're from Ulster? I never remember Kildare being booed under Micko and he practically invented the blanket. Cork in the last few years were very slow and elaborate with the ball but no abuse for them either. doublehop (Kildare) - Posts: 4172 - 28/03/2015 21:50:43 1707469 Link 0 |

The one answer to this rubbish is for people to stay away from the games. tireoghainabu (Tyrone) - Posts: 277 - 28/03/2015 21:56:15 1707474 Link 0 |
Refs are favouring the defensive tactics. Blocking of runs, swarm defence with lads slapping a guy! Like 5 lads around one attacker, they are all tackling......but how many are going for the ball. JayP (Dublin) - Posts: 1772 - 28/03/2015 21:57:43 1707476 Link 0 |

I guess it could be said that we look like we haven't learnt how to deal with the blanket, one way is to fight fire with fire, and the other is to be patient. But still, out of the 3 big blankets we've played, we have beaten two of them and drew with the other, not too shabby! realdub (Dublin) - Posts: 8597 - 28/03/2015 21:59:42 1707481 Link 0 |
Lots on here saying the rules should be changed to stop defensive football. How exactly ? CharlieM (Donegal) - Posts: 427 - 29/03/2015 09:20:22 1707491 Link 0 |

I completely understand why Derry played that way and im not having a go at them they were right to do that cause going man on man they would of been hammered but surely posters can't say they were entertained watching that last night? I said 4 years ago after the semi final between Dublin v Donegal that Gaelic football was in serious trouble cause everyone will copy Donegal and that's exactly what's happening, 3-2 at half time give me a break that's a soccer score ffs Dublin were shocking bad making the same stupid mistakes over and over again but playing against 14 players in there own half there is no real pattern of play to break it down other than patience, for posters who come on saying stop crying we've lost one game to a defensive team in the last 4 years it's not about losing or winning its about the future of Gaelic football cause last night people start leaving the staduim half way tru the game and didn't come back maybe they were hurling supporters but still if they were enjoying it they'd never leave. Jayp your so right the refs let the defensive team tackle anyway they like they get away with murder and then defensive county posters come on here after and say there great tacklers ha. There is no tackle rule it's whatever the ref is feeling at the time ive played Gaa all my life and I still don't know the tackle rule cause no ref is the same on the tackle rule. Honestly last night was the worst I've ever seen cause it's so easy to play this defensive game and every county will do it now and I mean every county cause there all afraid of taking a hiding off the Dubs. clondalkindub (Dublin) - Posts: 9926 - 29/03/2015 09:48:47 1707499 Link 0 |

an absolutely disgraceful performance....by the so called dublin supporters...but then again given our experiences of the past are we really surprised?...dublin scored ONE point in the first 33 mins...is that derry's fault?...no way...dublin played only one forward up...brogan..frequently connolly and rock were back in their own half back line...of course dublin can get men behind the ball but no other county is allowed to do it...the commentary on this has been disgusting...time for the dublin centric media to kop on mayotyroneman (Tyrone) - Posts: 1821 - 29/03/2015 10:27:22 1707521 Link 0 |

always find it funny when people compare this thing to Basketball,because Basketball is far more entertaining than this rubbish..I watched the game (recorded it without knowing the score),I find it funny that people from northern counties defend this rubbish. ziggy320001 (Meath) - Posts: 2432 - 29/03/2015 10:48:53 1707541 Link 0 |

I didn't see the game obviously with Meath playing but judging by the scoreline and subsequent comments it must have been putrid stuff. The only thing is you have to put the game in context, it was a rotten night for football and Derry were going to try whatever they could to survive in div1, those two things alone point to a poor show.
