Now, it goes without saying those three guys will probably forget more about the game than I will ever know. Fr Bryan Shorthall, left, with, from left to right, Dublin footballers, Ciarán Kilkenny, Dean Rock, Brother Kevin Crowley and Jimmy Gavin, father of Dublin manager Jim Gavin, during the Dublin All-Ireland Football Winning team homecoming at Smithfield in Dublin. Tyrone supporters on Hill 16 celebrate a score during the GAA Football All-Ireland Senior Championship Final match between Dublin and Tyrone at Croke Park in Dublin. Those that bemoan the game football has evolved into are probably the same people that fail to appreciate brilliantly-executed defensive gameplans in soccer. If we halved the wides Dublin and Tyrone had last Sunday Jim Gavin’s men would have won by just one point.
