The Big Interview: Gormley wants coaches incentivised to play more aggressive, attractive game

Former Derry star Enda Gormley believes a very simple rule change 'you’re not allowed to pass the ball backwards in your own half of the field, or at least your own 65 or 45' would create a more attractive style of game.

In recent years Enda Gormley has found himself feeling increasingly conflicted. The more competitive the county that he has given so much to have become, the harder the sport that he loves has been to watch.

“Listen, I want to see Derry win. But do I like the style of play? No. I hate it. I hated it when Donegal were at it so there’s no point in being a hypocrite in saying I enjoy it now just because Derry are winning.
