The standard of GAA journalism

[seanaglis]

Nobody comes close to Heaney ; North.South,East or West.

In a good way or a bad way?

Heaney did a report on the armagh v down McKenna cup match earlier this year. Down beat armagh and he said that while armagh were missing some players they still had experienced players like ciaran McKeever, Charlie Vernon and Steven McDonnell playing.

McDonnell wasnt playing and wont be back to later in the year. It makes you wonder what these boys get paid for

Keith Duggan is superb.

There are good people in every walk of life but the standard of GAA analysis is abysmal. Most reporters covering games have no fundamental understanding of the game and cannot articulate even the simplest concepts. Most papers are blessed with an odd decent hack but as just 2 examples look at the absolute drivel the sunday world + BT serve up in every edition

ffs if you go to either of those papers for your GAA coverage what do you expect! Sure you wouldn't go to the Irish News for it's motorbike coverage would you? And both those papers, in particular the Sunday World, serve up drivel in absolutely every sector - not just it's GAA coverage. I think Paddy Heaney, Keith Duggan and Malachy Clerkin are all excellent. Yer man Humphries was brilliant too, before, yeah...ahem
