Time taken for free kicks highlights need for hooter in GAA

“To rock up” is one of those great new verbs. It came to mind watching Bryan Sheehan approach each of the five frees he kicked on Sunday.

In that inimitably languid fashion of his, time was no object. They would be dispatched on his terms, nobody else’s.

For all the harping about the light years it takes Stephen Cluxton to saunter up and take a kick, Sheehan is something of a slouch himself.
