Les Kiss the coach of the Irish rugby team invented the CHOKE TACKLE

Why not implement the HUG  TACKLE in  gaa like a bear hug

as long as the player tackled does not fall to the ground , you cant get a black card only a yellow

seems like the way to go

teams can practice on fit females who volunteer for the cause :P

I'd like to see you go up to Eoghan O'Gara and tell him you'd like a hug tackle.


well i am 6 foot 4 and weight 16.5 st and would enjoy a slap at him and i can guarantee  you he would be on the floor after all he is a jackeen


stop being a muppet


its not the SIZE of the Boat its the Motion of the OCEAN

Why would you slap him when you are talking about a hug tackle?

Is pedantic your middle name??????????????

The so called commitment levels required to be an inter county player nowadays are just stone mad.

They're expected to live like professionals - most people involved with the team are getting some form of payment and the players are getting 50p a mike and lucky if they get it - mileage claims are restricted -  meanwhile the "back room" team pick up their expenses. The GAA rakes it in as well and thousands are employed in the industry that is GAA. I never thought I'd be typing this but I'm now doubting the principles.

And the player gets nothing but abuse if he is seen eating a Mc Donald's or drinking a beer.

Is it really worth it ?


I AGREE ,   but would you like to go watch your county team get absolutely hammered in a championship match due to lack of effort

not training etc

Self Pride and competitiveness should ensure that doesnt occur


Dont be harping back to the good ole days ,rubbish,  where players very clearly were unfit  and drunk 10 pints the night before a game

Agree players arent getting a cut, but if thats introduced does the manager of the u-10s get paid

there isnt enough to go around,  the whole ethos of the GAA is then white washed, not for me mate

I heard the Dubs are teaching lads how to hug properly at 14.
Hard for the rest of the country to compete with that.

They got funded €1.5m to research and develop the hug so there's no point in anything the other counties trying to do it as well as them.


Dont mention the WAR     LOVEBITES

Moaner just like his da


Heard he rates himself very highly, needs to pull his finger out as has been well off the boil

The McHughs can play but against Monaghan and stronger more robust teams they are a liability, they cant break the tackle, lose the ball in the tackle
He rates himself extremely highly. I'd put money on that he's gone due to discipline issues (drinking) his brother twice the player anyway so will slot into the half forward line in his place

Agree mate , give all or dont bother, fair play to Jim.

Micheal Murphy should be an example for him , a gentleman , leader of men, giant amongst men

Dont mind the lads having a session now and again to let off some steam, but you have plenty of time for that in the autumn/winter months and when you retire, Be proud to wear any county jersey, its an honour

GAA Discussion / New ALL Series
April 30, 2014, 02:43:57 PM
The NFL should be abandoned in favour of playing the Provincial Champs then the  ALL IRELAND STARTS

Championship

Format:
4 groups of 6 counties,
All teams in the group play each other with top 2 from each group going to a quarter final from then on straight knockout as per usual
This method would give every county a decent amount of championship games and if feel more entertaining than what we have
Teams that finish bottom playoff to retain Status , Losers drop to Lower League

The remaining 9/10 counties play in a single league with the top 2 teams each year promoted to All Ireland Series
The  smaller teams would get more game time and be able to develop in order to compete in the All Ireland Series

Cork at the prices are value should make the final, 

have a feeling that Mayo could be gone always the Bridesmaid, lack self belief,  maybe get Ronnie O Sullivans  mental gymnast to sort it out lol

GAA Discussion / Re: Dublin and illegal tackling
April 30, 2014, 02:16:13 PM
Look here if you don't want to see hard hits and a few off the ball niggles  then go  watch soccer

Dublin are playing an expansive , high energy , stamina sapping game all well within the rules, so good luck to them

Dublin have raised the bar since Galvin took over, very lucky in 2011 to beat Kerry, but very much a different animal now and are worthy All Ireland Favourites

However at the prices  i wouldn't touch them,  i would love to see a defensively strong team set up against them and play on the counter attack,  still get the feeling that under pressure and from distance that their shooting is still ropey  and prone to numerous misses

MDA @ midfield is the engine of their team and does so much of the donkey work alas he over carries  a hell of a lot and never get blown up


Dublin's to lose,    Cork have an outside chance if they could tighten up the Full BackLine
