It is an incredible sport (both big GAA sports) but to be honest, the final, pure in terms of football wasn’t good advertisement. One of the worst All Ireland k.o. Games I have seen. But in terms of the teams in the final and the winner, it couldn’t get any better.
As a neutral i loved this game, a very close final and a surprise winner. Euro 24 was horrific to watch and the rugby too I don't know why people complain this is boring in comparison to sports where everyone is behind the ball
I am glad that their “sh** in my pants” football didn’t get rewarded. Every time they gained possession I knew I got to brace myself for some unwatchable boring minutes! of football.
Regarding possible rule changes I have two suggestions. I think the goal should be to make these changes policable and not too restrictive to the players. The first one is fairly simple and has probably been suggested somewhere before as it seems fairly obvious. Once a player enters the opponents half , they should not be allowed kick the ball back to a teammate in the other half. A hand pass is fine because again we don't want to be too restrictive to the players but the kicking over and back was probably the worst thing about the spectacle yesterday and it needs to go! I think it's a policable rule change and might even incentivise defenders to push up and pressurize when they know opponents can't kick the ball backwards in their own half. The second suggestion is more radical. I think we can all see that teams putting 15 men behind the ball is making for a terrible spectacle - we would prefer teams to not be allowed do that. It's a tactic that makes the inside forwards who used to be our marquay, box offices players marginal figures in the game and borderline redundant! However, having a rule where we only allow a certain amount of players inside their own half in general play is pretty much unpolicable so I think the only time to do it is at kick outs. We make sure that there are six backs and six forwards inside the 45 metre line for every kick out and we then allow for the goalie or designated kicker to kick from the 30 metre line with a rule that the kick has to go past the half way line. The kick goes into the half forward line and if the forwards win it they have an incentive to be urgent in attack before the blanket defence gets back and if the defence wins it they also have an incentive to move the ball forward as quickly as possible. This will leave more space for one and one battles and for marquay forwards to do their stuff. We could even be more radical and let the designated kicker take it from the 45 metre line making it even harder for the blanket defence to come back. It's not perfect by any means but it will be a good chance for these innovative coaches to be more creative with their tactics while also making the game a more entertaining attacking spectacle. It could change the game but still be policable. This rule about getting two points for a long range score and 4 for a goal will make things worse! Two points for a long range score gives you even less incentive to find the inside box office forwards and four for a goal will only force teams to be more defensive because they will be even more petrified of giving away goals. I still enjoy watching Gaelic football and even enjoyed yesterday's final more than most but these long, boring spells of over and back kicking in front of a 15 men defence have to be addressed and I'm wondering what ye lads think of my suggestions here?
Interesting points & would agree that the changes need to be simpler. I think everyone wants the game to revert back to a more attack first game, instead of the risk averse game it has become. Too many lads turning down opportunities, going backwards or sideways & keeping possession for the sake of it. I think the lateral possession play is horrendous & would love to see it abolished. Very difficult to do that though without radical changes. It's not an easy fix. But the GAA need to fix the cause of the problems & not just the symptoms. The coaches have a lot to answer for
@@dannymahon6929 Thanks for the reply, mate. I certainly agree with you about the lateral passing. It's still very difficult to know how to counter-act it!
@amugsgame9936 no worries pal, it's a great debate. Did you do the survey? In fairness they are open to everything. It's ironic that Jim Gavin is the chairman, when he is a huge reason for the possession game becoming the norm. Not him directly, but everyone copying him!! With the modern day player being so fit & strong, the game should be better than ever. But the approach is too cautious. Hopefully a lot of the rules come in
Jaysus lads compared to the Hurling this was a borefest. Different games I know but that rubbish served up yesterday would be enough to turn anybody off. Congrats to Armagh though.
@@BadDubIItactically and athletically yes it’s improved however the fact teams are petrified of taking long range points and risk taking or even bloody kick passing Is a shame. Dublin v mayo games of the 2010s are honestly like watching a different sport to this game yesterday.
That’s 76 minutes of my life I’ll never get back, absolutely awful game. Gaelic football is finished, one step forward 3 backwards then 5 steps sideways. Absolute rubbish
Truly dreadful game. Armagh playing with 15 men behind their 45 most of the time and Galway cluelessly kicking 40 yard passes backwards. Safety first and no-one prepared to take a chance. Walsh and Comer, the two best footballers on the pitch kicked out of the game. McGeeney finally wins something as a manager but it's worthless. Watching women's soccer would be preferable. Watching paint drying even more so.
Delighted for the people of Armagh and what it means to them but it’s hard to disagree. The game needs drastic rule changes which would infuriate the traditionalists to see this brand of football which has dominated for the last 10 years finally end for the good of the game.
Armagh man here And I agree but don't really care😂 Though woman's football mate 😅 come on 😅 But itsa problem within the game It's been very dull for the past 10 years Football needs a shot clock That would soon open it up

That blockdown at the end by Armagh was so decisive.
great advitisement for the GAA when ya have a wee county and it means so much to get SAM - just shows its the best game on GODS GREEN EARTH

That was incredible.
Up Armagh from Westmeath 🟠⚪✌️
Fair boring really need to do something about the hand passing the hurling the week earlier was absolute pure magic
Why do people keep comparing hurling and football when they are totally different. You can't Puck a ball over the bar from 90 yards in football.
both games have sdrious problem with handpass 15:04
Was over from Glasgow with my grandfather who is from Armagh absolutely brilliant day 🧡🤍
Galway have 3 all star talents in their full forward line but were petrified of taking any sort of risks
I am glad that their “sh** in my pants” football didn’t get rewarded. Every time they gained possession I knew I got to brace myself for some unwatchable boring minutes! of football.
Tbh as a Galway supporter I was rlly sad when they lost by a single point 😢 but well done Armagh
G stands for Geezer I suppose, R for Rían O'Neill. W stands for winning the Sam Maguire, for the Armagh Football Team!!
What happened to Walsh...? he can score form 45 meters under pressure, and he can't score a simple free....SMh!
Glory be to Geezer!
I’m from armagh❤🏐🧡🇮🇪
various TV pundits griping over Armagh win points to pro-Galway bias
Couldn’t agree more. Galway crabs. Sideways, backwards, sideways. Backwards. Forwa… no wait, backwards, Side…….ffs! and I’m from Galway.
Was there at the Syam?
I went to the match
Mon ih armagh

Congratulations ♧♧♧
are they playing in galway or armagh? not familiar with this sport, lol its like soccer, rugby and volleyball in one sport
Watching since the 60s but haven't a clue what that was they were playing
Playing in Croke Park Dublin, every final is played there
class

Hurling snobs can’t go 5 minutes without mentioning hurling in videos about other sports
@brianodriscoll2725 football never used to be this bad. But you know what they say- "football is for those who can't hurl"
Awful football
@@Chief_Brody if hurling is so great why do only about 6 counties take it seriously
@@brianodriscoll2725 it's a superior game, far harder to master. You sound like a West Brit Jackeen lol

Agree about the boring passages of play in between though.

Yes 6 points in first half and seven in second half from Galway and 6 from Armagh in first half and 8 in second half. €100 a ticket for that rubbish.
Yap yap yap
Cope harder. 7 points in the opening 20 minutes and you weird clowns think it was "boring". Do one lmao.
