The Madness of Football, episode 10
•
It's the final instalment of our special series on the evolution of Gaelic football.
We hear the thoughts of Eamonn Fitzmaurice before James Horan, Paul Rouse and Maurice Brosnan reflect on what we've learned over the past few weeks and consider where the game can go from here.
This is Episode 10 in a 10-part series which was initially produced for Irish Examiner subscribers earlier this year - before the FRC devised radical new rule enhancements -- in which we explore the development of Gaelic football over the decades.
