Letters to the Editor: GAA needs to outlaw back-hand passing

A look back at the league final of 2013 between Dublin and Tyrone, broadcast on TG4 on March 29 this year, will instantly reveal the appalling falling off of the standard of Gaelic football in 2025.
The thrilling speed of forward movement at all times, exhibiting precision kick-passing by both teams in 2013, contrasts with the soccer-influenced pattern of the modern hand-passing obsessed, dreary tactical possession game — as demonstrated, for example, between Monaghan and Roscommon on the same night on TG4 — leaves absolutely no doubt that the game is in its unwatchable death throes.
