YOU can often assess the size of a job just by who is lined up to tackle it. There are many jobs of varying dimensions facing us all, but when it came to the big one, when it was time to fix Gaelic football, they threw the kitchen sink. 

Your Gavins, your Fitzmaurices, your Horans, your Collinses. This is a brains trust to beat all and still you wouldn’t fancy their chances. It still has to be odds-against that they will get this right.
