Why Rebels must use their brain, not brawn

Anyone who has attended a training session at any level of the game will be able to testify that Gaelic football has become a very complicated affair.

Nowadays, no self-respecting coach would attempt to educate his players in the skills of the game unless he was armed with at least 200 luminous cones, all of which must be laid out in a complex array of stars, pentagons and circles. (The square is sooo 1980s).

Such is the intricacy of some drills, many bear a closer resemblance to mathematical equations. You would certainly need to be pretty clever to understand them.
