Gaelic Football, the red haired stepchild of the GAA family, has had a temporary stay put on its head by what can only be described as a novel All-Ireland final pairing. A championship brought to life, not by quality so much as unfamiliarity. A decider with neither Kerry or Dublin was inconceivable 12 months ago. On Sunday, either Armagh and Galway will win their first championship in two decades. The newness will resonate, but old problems remain. Football is undoubtedly in a state of entropy with no quick fix available. There are, however, steps that can be taken to make the game more appealing and palatable, and something to be enjoyed much more than it is maligned, as up until last weekend the maligning was much more prevalent than the enjoyment. Hereunder, a season ending Gaelic Football; 8 Things I Hate About You, and how we can fix it.
