It’s time to change the rules of Gaelic football before it’s too late

Kerry recently won their 37th All Ireland Football Title against Donegal and deservingly so.

They came out on top of the ultimate war of attrition that Gaelic football has become. In the last decade when they met teams from Tyrone, Armagh and Donegal they lost out against the “mass defence system” where 12 or more players wait deep in their own half of the field for the opposition to come towards them.

Finally a Kerry manager decided to abandon a century of tradition and go with the flow. Success was achieved. It was not pretty to watch.
