Well he's on the FRC so if he was criticising them live on air or in a newspaper there'd be fair few words had  ;D

You don't see the skill in clean catching or winning breaking ball??

If you're keeper and your team are prepared and skilful enough you can work kickouts to retain possession like Donegal and Dublin do.

I'd have an alternative view to yours in that the new rules are showing up where skills are lacking!

Old rules showed up lack of skills picking up loose players, but you keep convincing yourself everything is rosey.

60 plus kickouts how many clean catches?

You can't challenge for a ball in the middle from a kickout anymore. Will it be a non contact sport in a few years.
The ref was poor enough also.
Guinness and Murtagh  dragged Down through today.
Semi finals Next Sunday.

Murdock was by a mile the best down player. Referee did well.

You just want to go back to catch and kick?

How many clean catches in 40 plus kickouts?

Put it like this in 60 throws at treble 20 I'd get 10. Some skill there!

Flowerspot is just a reincarnation of some other fool that's on here. I really struggle why people have multiple names on here.
None of us are getting out of here alive, so please stop treating yourself like an after thought.

I can't find stats but there were plenty of clean catches by McGurn and Murdock...

Are you saying the 10 yard chip out to an unmarked corner back is more skilful?? How many of those did we used to get?

I'd rather have a scrappy contest for 50/50 ball in midfield than the 10 yard chip!

And then kick it up front for another scrappy contest? Catch and kick.
