GAA: Former Donegal star Kevin Cassidy has called for negative coaches to be ‘chased’ from the GAA.
Cassidy made the remark in response to a debate on Twitter about the state of modern football, which was sparked following the dreadfully low scoreline in a Donegal club game.
Glenswilly defeated St Eunan’s on a scoreline of 0-03 to 0-02 on Sunday afternoon, and it gained national notoriety.
Cassidy tweeted, “Scoreline in Donegal club game ends 3-2 holy god the end has arrived – ah well it was fun while it lasted!!!”
Cassidy’s Gaoth Dobhair team mate and current Donegal star Eamon McGee had his say, and disagreed with the statement.
McGee tweeted, “An all Ireland final finished 1-1 to 0-1 point – and that was over one hundred years ago. Relax. The end is most definitely not here!”
Cassidy hit back, ” In all honesty guys that’s not the kind of stuff I want my young lad playing anyway. Time to chase negative coaches.”
There was only one point scored in the entire second-half of that match, and it came from St Eunan’s forward Conor Gibbons, who’s side ended up losing by a point.
What are your views? Does the GAA need a drastic overhaul of the rulebook to alleviate this negative form of football, or is all not as bad as is being suggested?
