Jack Anderson: What type of game does GAA want Gaelic football to evolve into?

The Allianz Leagues in both hurling and football appear to have started well. The blueprint of regular, competitive games in a condensed scheduled and held in the early evenings at provincial venues is exactly what the football championship needs.

Flipping the league and championship is one of the proposals made in the GAA’s fixtures review committee. It’s a welcome suggestion, although the slightly odd play-off system that accompanies it, and which appears to give the county finishing top of Division 4 a better chance of winning the Sam Maguire than half the teams in Division 1, is a reminder of the saying that a camel is a horse designed by a committee.
