GAA goalkeepers seem to have lost sight that their role is minding the nets

Watching some GAA football games on TV lately, it was surprising to see goalkeepers taking the risk of running out-field so often in support of their team.

Last Sunday’s game between Donegal and Derry was no different. The Derry keeper decided to give his mates a hand out-field. Having left the “house” unattended, a wily Donegal player took advantage and reached his goal.

In future, it would be wise for goalkeepers to remember, “Grab too much, and you lose all”.
