About time football supporters showed their displeasure with the way Gaelic football is going. No disrespect to Derry they are effective and only playing the way they have to. But if this goes on the lack of people in this stadium tonight will be reflected in the championship and the the GAA will be forced to do something to save the game. But its dying on its feet and the gas bit is so many are in denial which is why it is beyond redemption. Compared to the hurling before it, this game is going down the toilet. arock (Dublin) - Posts: 4896 - 28/03/2015 19:41:55 1707360 Link 0 |

Declan O'Sullivan is giving great comments here. He's pretty much saying this is shite football to watch. And the future of the game is at stake. JayP (Dublin) - Posts: 1772 - 28/03/2015 19:52:07 1707367 Link 0 |
The most frustrating thing is that people from certain counties/provinces simply dont have the courage or integrity to accept that this stuff is poison for the game. theyd rather close their eyes, stick their fingers in their ears and keep saying " sure, like its win at all costs ya know, sure,like its win at all costs ya know" joncarter (Galway) - Posts: 2692 - 28/03/2015 19:54:21 1707368 Link 0 |

Exactly no rules been broken but if a team is supposed to be that good the manager should have a plan to beat the blanket Derry are doing what they do to try and survive Muineachain76 (Monaghan) - Posts: 180 - 28/03/2015 20:23:19 1707383 Link 0 |
The problem is that alot of supporters enjoy these tactics and think it adds a fascinating dimension to gaelic football. We have watched Donegal win big matches using these tactics and even thought the standard of football was never great, apprantely it made for great viewing for many people with big crowds and decent viewing figures. So why would the Gaa change it? Last year we had 2 decent football semi finals that covered up all the cracks in the muck we were treated to earlier in the year.

Yup. Its the superbug that brolly was talking about. There is no cure. Its really bad for the game, but when you think about it, Derry aren,t really doing anything wrong. Its terrible stuff though. Once in a while it can be fascinating, I didnt really mind that, but if we start seeing this every other week enthusiasm for the sport among the public will drop enormously over the next 10 years. joncarter (Galway) - Posts: 2692 - 28/03/2015 20:43:02 1707400 Link 0 |
Dublin fans only boo or go totally silent when they are losing. Donegal_abroad (Donegal) - Posts: 1321 - 28/03/2015 20:44:38 1707402 Link 0 |
So we're encouraging people to boo young men playing an amateur game. Good stuff lads. decky (Roscommon) - Posts: 384 - 28/03/2015 20:45:41 1707403 Link 0 |
How can any player enjoy being part of such a disgusting formation? Pure dire muck MartinGerard (Longford) - Posts: 275 - 28/03/2015 20:46:56 1707405 Link 0 |
Dublin only conceded 4 points in 70 minutes. I expect it will be nearly impossible to get tickets for their first game in the Leinster championship as the lovers of great defending make their way down from Ulster in their thousands to admire a team capable of such excellence in defensive play....
