God bless the mark, the Big Man finally catches on

It has been a landmark week for the Big Man, ushered in from the cold as Gaelic football’s saviour.

The lighthouse to guide the Gah back to its glory days of catch and kick. Or kick and catch and hang on a few seconds while we tap over the free, as it may be known, going forward.

It is taken for granted nowadays that there is a think tank working round the clock to fix Gaelic football. That there is always some committee in place trying to reverse engineer a way back to the game they loved, though still mainly hated at the time.
