McEntee: Players not technically competent as skills neglected

All-Ireland winning club football coach Tony McEntee has given a sobering summary of Gaelic football, suggesting that players at all ages and grades aren’t "technically competent".

The former Sam Maguire winner with Armagh claimed that “for people who play all our lives”, Gaelic footballers in general haven’t mastered the various skills of the game.

The damning analysis may be disputed by those who suggest that modern defensive systems have simply made it more difficult to show off the full range of skills.
