THE FORMAT AND structure of the championship has never been so vehemently debated and in the wake of two more incredibly one-sided games at the weekend, more concerns have been raised.
Former Donegal manager Jim McGuinness has today said that the GAA faces a fight to save football after he watched Kerry and Dublin stroll to All-Ireland quarter-finals win over the Bank Holiday weekend.
In his Irish Times column, McGuinness says ‘he fears for the game’ after an anti-climatic weekend at Croke Park.
Poll: Is Gaelic football in trouble after recent one-sided All-Ireland championship matches?

In his Irish Times column, McGuinness says ‘he fears for the game’ after an anti-climatic weekend at Croke Park.
It’s not the first time a high-profile figure has urged the GAA to seriously consider the current format with The42‘s columnist Johnny Doyle also admitting one of the marquee weekends of the championship summer turned into a non-event.
What do you think? Do you think the game is heading in a downward spiral or are McGuinness’ comments overblown?
