It's 11 v 10 and attack a team like Donegal.
Colin McElhain gets sent off.
I just like, you know, Meave aside, I think it's bad if you don't win a game now when you have the extra man.
It's so easily done now, you can take it into your routine.
I don't feel like Gaelic football should go that way.
So I completely agree.
If you get a red card, and especially if that's the rule now, it's on you for the most part.
But it's just so predictable now when a team has that extra man in the other half.
As soon as he's been number six, he knew what it was about.
Yeah.
And that's obviously where White and O'Shea would help as well because I was trying to think, so Fimbar Rorty did brilliantly and he did well going the other direction too.
What do you care to do?
What does any team do when a player is being marked that tightly?
Your playmaker is being marked that tightly.
I've come up with three options.
The David Silva methods, or Damien Delaney's talked about this when they were playing Man City and they man marked David Silva.
He just went over to the sideline instead.
and said okay we'll play E10 V10 and we've got better players that's where you need Sean O'Shea the other one is teams haven't they were trying it out to the start of last year you know that switch at the halfway line whereas if Paddy Clifford drops right back to the halfway line and then somebody comes up the other wing then completely unmarked another defender who's now let loose there's a lot of thought to have to go into that but they might be prepared for it next time because they know I think you'd see a more aggressive front foot Paddy Clifford
But this is the thing with Donegal, isn't it?
It was Conor O'Donnell the last day.
