Replying To bdbuddah:  "That's right, when I made the same point to you on a different topic you expanded to say you had 1 good game in the group stages and 1 good game in the quarter final. That's only 2 games in a season.

By the way the above isn't a personal criticism of you, you can only play in the way that is in the interest of your team.
I know it would have been a big achievement winning the intermediate championship.

I don't think every game now is bad, we do get some good games.
I might be criticising modern styles of play in football but I'm still really into the GAA.

But unless you consider huge amounts of uncontested handpassing along with a good bit of uncontested foot passing positive (the stats on the original post speak for themselves) there is a huge negative issue in our game.
It is an issue that's talked about by GAA people for years.

To have a chance of getting a good game now it seems 2 teams have to approach the game in a positive way.
This more often than not will not happen as usually at least 1 of the teams in a match will decide it is in their interest to approach the game in a negative way.
Saying the games are good when the best few teams compete is not realistic as we can hardly have a 4 team All Ireland Championship.

Its fairly obvious that the only ideas you would regard as proper for a rule change proposal would be one that would only have a minor impact to the modern tactical approach managers take to the game."

Replying To TheFlaker:  "Jesus why do i have to keep repeating myself. Again i will point out the best games are at the business end of the season. Think of the semi finals and finals over the past 10 years? How many of them have been bad games? Very, very few. There have been absolute classics in semis and finals even in the past 5 years. That's because the top teams are going at it. Same in the league final this year.

The championship is not great until the semi finals because there are too many games that don't matter and there is no real hazards for the top teams. It's a restructure needed far more than some of the daft suggestions on here by people who don't care about the impact on players and coaches."

Replying To bdbuddah:  "The semi final I was at last year was a boring game with one team operating a thick blanket and the other playing keep ball.

I wouldn't have regarded the games I was at in division 2 this year as good games.

Saying that there are normally about 4 competitive teams in the all Ireland which if they happen to play each other may result in a good game isn't much of an argument saying the game is in a good state.

Your argument is just weak."

Replying To ForeverBlue2:  "So basically you are saying there is no real Championship until the quarterfinals or semifinals because of the nonsensical structure…? f Football truly is in a very bad place so…"
