Micko: Game has lost its soul

The man considered to be the most stylish gaelic footballer in GAA history has delivered a withering indictment of the game he once loved and adorned.

Kerry’s Mick O’Connell says the game has lost its direction, lost its soul and has become a mish-mash which, he’s ashamed to say, is now one of the least attractive field sports around.

“I would watch nearly any other sporting code in preference to gaelic football,” O’Connell admitted in an interview with the Irish Examiner.
