Quote from: Cunny Funt on February 24, 2025, 03:13:48 PMDivision two more than any other division seem to have a group of teams who have decided to take each other on in shootouts not sure will that be good prep for championship when they face any Division one team who will have a defensive structures in place.
it will be interesting to see who comes out on top. Regardless of set ups the point is to score more than the opponent. Could make for interesting watching.

Will be interesting to see who are the two promoted. To score more than the opponent in shootouts is fine right now but to be well organised defensively will still be key for any team with ambitions this summer.  Take Galway top of the table in Div 1 with just 0-55 conceded in 4 games. Your own Meath has conceded the lowest in Div 2 with 21 points per game. average.

If a division 2 team comes up against the likes of a Galway or Donegal and plays as open as that it could be a cricket score with 2 pointers.

If  a team decided to actually put markers on  more forwards there would be less 2 pointers scored.Its not a defensive structure as modern coaches talk about ,  its simply defenders doing what they have done for generations and it worked.  ,

Agree with @dunneroyal Chris og Jones had 5-8 from play before the weekend.
I believe Monaghan tasked Ryan O'Toole with a man marking job on him, he scored 1 point from play.

Think we did the same on Walsh he maybe only score a free with McCambridge on him when he came on. (Just a pity we left the other Galway men room to shoot lol)

Just a whinge from me re the gaa pricing for games.
20 euro to stand on a grass bank in Drogheda is ridiculous.
Is it too much to ask to have 1 price for covered seating and another to stand on terrace or in this case a grass bank.
 It's all money money money.

Be careful what you wish for, next year still €20 for the grass bank, but €30 for the covered stand.

It is not money, money, money it is just that they couldn't be bothered having two classes of tickets and they want the same price for all league games. If you are in Castlebar then everyone fits in the stand and in many grounds most of those who want to be in the stand can be in the stand.
Similarly with the All Ireland finals, the tickets between the 45s in the Cusack or Hogan should cost more than a ticket in the arse end of the Canal End, but they do not want the hassle.

They wondering about dropping attendance and what's causing it, but don't look at the price to watch a game. Same price for seat or terrace a joke

Dropping attendances are due to the  fact that gaelic football has become perhaps the worst sport in the world to watch. It may be too late to reverse the trend despite these new rules.

I've only missed 1 Down game this year, but even though we haven't got the rub of the green at times, I've enjoyed the games a lot more than last year.

Don't think it's fully that. A problem, sure. But also when you had 3 or so games per month during round robin etc, I know families that picked and chose what games to go to. A day out for the game and all that goes with it is expensive. back in the day with 2 or even 3 weeks between games, it was doable, but 4 games maybe in 5 weeks just isn't. Condensed season was done with good intentions, but likes of this is an effect
