Pundits must delve much deeper to provide real insight into our games

Last week in Newcestown, the forward caught me with a decent enough belt, to be fair to him.

He was young though. So next time there was action, he came in again and we connected, and when the ball was gone, it turned out that he was laid out like a corpse. Still, the corpse got up and hit me a good shot to the head. Helmet and all, he made my brain rattle. "Hey," said the umpire from behind me, "you got away with that one really."

He was bang on. Even at intermediate, everybody is a pundit. The forward, who bore no grudges, gave a little laugh.
