SO that wasn't bad, was it? For all of football's sick patient analogies, there were enough positive indicators in the opening round of the Allianz Football League to suggest that the penny is dropping. That with a little positive thinking, the health of the old game isn't as bad as we feared. Now if we could only ditch the dreaded mark. More of than anon.
Hat-tip too to the fixture planners to schedule Dublin, Kerry, Derry and Monaghan on opening night - the latter providing the most edge-of-the-seat stuff.
