I've put together a tactical review of the game here for anyone interested http://action81.com/blog/?p=5754

As there's no thread for the Div 4 final I hope nobody minds me posting this here. I've put together a tactics piece on the Wicklow vs Fermanagh game here http://action81.com/blog/?p=5746

I'll have a review of Cork and Mayo/Mayo and Cork up tomorrow night.

There's no thread on the other semi so I'll post this here, here's my tactics piece on Cork's win over Down http://action81.com/blog/?p=5699

I think that's a fair assessment Crete Boom. Mayo clearly have the talent to get it done in one-off situations and look more capable of putting together a run than in previous seasons but until they actually put together that kind of run there will still be doubts.

I've put together a tactical analysis piece on Mayo's win over Kerry today for anyone interested.

There seemed to be good response to this last week so here's my tactical piece on Cork's win over Dublin in the last round of league games yesterday http://action81.com/blog/?p=5687

I'm a Dub, not an Armagh or Cross man and I've long thought restructuring makes sense. The wait between the provincial finals and the All Ireland semis is nuts, and the semi and final isn't a whole lot better. It's unfair on pretty much all parties involved, clubs and counties.

I have nothing but respect and admiration for everything Cross have achieved but for the sake of the county side i hope they get knocked out early next year. Their success year after year is killing the county side's development.

I was actually thinking about that yesterday. That's effectively been two full seasons where Armagh didn't have the Cross players for the bulk of the league campaign and McKenna before that. Can hardly be ideal for summer. Now that being said, there should be a way where Cross can win without Armagh losing out. To me the logical route would be in condensing the club championships more, finishing before Christmas or at least long before St Patrick's Day.

Perhaps although I think the wide open space helped their high line as well as Cross had more work to do to get the ball upfield. I know Croker is the maximum dimensions, or close to it, any idea how much smaller Breffni Park is? Having gone to quite a few games this year the variance in pitch size around the county grounds really is something.
