Taking the game in a new direction

In August, Football Review Committee (FRC) chairman Eugene McGee sent an email to GAA journalists inviting them to make a submission to the group.

Keen to get insight from all quarters in Gaelic games, McGee asked his fellow members of the media to contribute their thoughts and ideas on aspects of the game ranging from the club and county structures to the playing rules.

It was an opportunity not to be missed, certainly not when the FRC is an independent body, although Declan Darcy has since become a Dublin selector.
