Saying that to say i played football at a good level as a youngster i haven't really watched it for over a decade. Only got two sports i can't do without and that's Boxing and F1.

jiggy 3,209 Posted June 21, 2018 Report Share Posted June 21, 2018 Gaelic football ( amateur game ) 20 years ago used to be about speed, skill and accuracy and been clever about the game. Gaelic football today is about size , strength , cardio and their fitness levels and strength are as good as any pro sport at the top level. It was a super end to end game to watch back then! Now you see players ( under massive pressure )and both teams play blanket defences and suffocate your opponent while covering massive amounts of ground to stop them scoring but the fundamental thing is they forget how to enjoy and play the game with a smile. The accuracy of their point or goal scoring is brutal because too much time is spent on strength and conditioning . The kids should get back out kicking the ball against their neighbours wall without breaking her window or hitting the car driving past. That's where skill is and accuracy is learned by a 10 year old with a smile on his face. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cant get massively into him but i think thats to do with how poorly hes promoted. Also all these hard fights chasing down a titleshot with Garcia yet terry Flanagan cam move up and fight for a vacamt world title right away. Think he needs to say bye to cyclone. Don't really keep on top of British boxing as i should anymore pal, the hype behind them and the nauseas biased from the likes of Sky puts me off it. Don't get me wrong we have some decent talent but ffs let it come to them instead of claiming they're this and that before they've had a stern test. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Kerny92 1,246 Posted June 21, 2018 Report Share Posted June 21, 2018 Just watching the football highlights and Ian Darke is doing the commentary, never right! He was the best boxing commentator bar none during his Sky Sports years, they dropped a bollock getting rid of him. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Really he's in a team with a totally different mind set to the one maradonna played in i do agree he's never brought his club form to his country for some reason Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Messi is a brilliant player no doubt but Maradona at his peak was a once in a lifetime talent. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
