T C and C supply 18 plus betresponsibly gambling care. Hey there, we are Indo Sport with me, Joe Malloy, and we have things like this.
Given United are going to dominate most of their games, and that's what they want to do, given they want to be winning titles and challenging. They can't really be a team who adapt from game to game. They've got to have a kind of a model or an idea. Uh and that's something that they don't seem to have an attack right now. Like i it's it's it's it's a little bit like they're not executing some of the kind of the best practice of the last ten years of football tactics.
This is an Irish Independent Podcast.
I'm Michael Verney and welcome to the Indo GA podcast sponsored by AIB. AIB are proud sponsors of Cloven County, proudly celebrating the joy, dedication and support that lies at the heart of Gaelic Games in every community and player across the nation. Usually John Weiler is on giving out about this or giving out about that or been very positive about this or been very positive about that. But today he's here. He doesn't like to call himself an expert, but he is the chairman of the what was originally titled the Hurlin Expert Advisory Group. He's changed it to the Hurling Advisory Group. Um John, good to have you here. Um you're in the car, and it's fitting you're in the car because you're a busy
Mm-hmm.
Yeah, we're we're we're busy. Um we're getting around the country with a lot of work to do. Um with the trial games coming up at the end of October. Uh we're meeting the third level colleges tonight, we're meeting the referees on Thursday night, we're meeting the Munster Council Thursday night. So there's there's a lot of travelling, uh a lot of meeting done, a lot of talking um in in in the process really. But we're getting around to as many people as possible to get the messages out. Uh what sort of feedback have you gotten just on the ground? Extremely positive. Um, I would say ninety percent of the time, uh, there are people coming back with really, really positive um solutions, positive ideas. So we're we're delighted with that.
We have a few people that are coming back, not being negative, they're coming back with questioning, um, you know, the different uh recommendations which we've made and which that's very positive and uh We met the Munster referees last Wednesday night in Turles. We'll be meeting the Leinster, Ulster, Conock referees in Abbotstone, uh Thursday in uh Abbottstown. So we're getting around and we're getting questions really before uh the trial game start on the twenty second of October in third level.
Some people would say that Harlan needs very little change. Um what was your own opinion on it? Like uh would you have said from in recent years looking at Hurlan, would you say, Jes this requires radical change here or what was your own what were your own kind of thoughts before you started?
No, my my my my thoughts um I've always said that there's very little wrong with the game of hurling. Hurling has never been better. Hurling has never been in a better position in terms of speed, skill, you know, the strength of players, the physique, the scores, fantastic entertainment that we've had over the last number of years. But and I've said this because I look, I lectured in strategy in the college for thirty-five years in MTU. Every organization Needs to look at itself. Every organization needs to identify where they are, where do they want to go and how they get there. So you must constantly analyze and evaluate your own organization strategy. And when Jarlot rang us, you know, to look at the game of hurling, he said, John, I want you to look at the game of hurling, analyze the game of hurling.
