Ulsterites  just love throwball ::)

As opposed to the technically superior "hoof it in".
No. Think of Dublin  kicking the oul football ;) and all the better kicking it into forwards moving into space. Also kicking long over the heads if the blankets.
As for hoofin it in - at least you might get a score but you won't score playing pass the parcel over and back in the middle of the field.

Dublin can hand pass with the best of them. They're good whichever way they play it. Some other other counties tho...  :-[

If you think hoofing it in is a better way of achieving a score than retaining position, then we'll leave er there.

I never saw anyone getting a score  retaining possession - except Joe Sheridan of course ;D

He would have kicked it sooner if he hadn't been fouled.
If you were any use you'd be playing.

He was held up diving for the line. Then while at the bottom of the ruck, under the posts, he inexplicably tried for the drop-goal and made a Sludden out of it.

Of course. Hoofing it over the bar is the only aspect of the game we should focus on. We should shorten the pitches and just let the keepers have a long range kicking contest. Unfortunately Dublin would still be at the front.

A prod workmate of mine back in the 90's called it catchykickyball. It's probably handypalmdyball now.  ;D
