Gaelic football coaches are utterly wrong to claim they have no alternative to the current unenjoyable fare, according to former Mayo manager James Horan.

Last weekend saw several low-scoring county finals and disappointing spectacles in Gaelic football. Speaking after his Nemo Rangers lost out to Castlehaven in the final of the Cork PSFC last Sunday, manager Paul O’Donovan suggested teams have to abide by the modern game’s terms.
