Teams have still not explored all the attacking possibilities of the new rules, according to Football Review Committee member James Horan. “It was a game where I thought both teams were conservative in how they attacked,” said Horan. They cut back and took the safe option.”Speaking after the game, Galway manager Pádraic Joyce was critical of how “pedestrian” they were in attack. “There are so many different things. It is predictable the way Galway attacked; if they added that bit of variety, they would become a different beast.”
