Joe Brolly joins the Throw-In for a bonus episode this week in which he describes the nihilism of Gaelic football by certain counties and which is even seeping into underage schools' teams.

Pointing the finger at Fermanagh and Galway in particular, he says,
"Every time Galway or Fermanagh win a game it’s a dagger through the heart of Gaelic football."

With schools' teams now even pulling 15 players behind the ball, Brolly castigates those who espouse such philosophies in Gaelic football.

"There’s a whole breed of coaches who don’t care about the game.  It’s nihilism, nothingness, pointless and people should be saying it’s not acceptable because in the end nobody is going to be watching the game."

It’s not all doom and gloom however and the rise of Sean O’Shea and David Clifford into a resurgent Kerry gives hope for the future.
