  • Enda McGinley

    RTÉ Gaelic Football Analyst

    'At the top level, it takes massive hunger and commitment. The dog must be there, and it must come out to fight'

    Kerry display the thin line between belief and hubris

    After being somewhat off the pace against Mayo, our columnist now expects Kerry to recommit to the defensive effort that served so well in 2022, just one of the areas that they will hone in on as the championship cranks up another level.

    Football • 23 May 23
    'Derry shot the lights out against Monaghan; it was one of those days. On a normal day, I see more natural scoring power in the Armagh ranks, it's just whether they can create enough chances'

    Athletic Armagh well-matched against contrary Derry

    Derry's alternative method of attack is a challenge to most, but our columnist believes Armagh have the personnel to disrupt the defending Ulster champions this afternoon.

    Football • 14 May 23
    'I have no doubt in time a degree of order will be restored. For now, I'm just going to look forward to this weekend's games'

    Revelling in Omagh Ballroom Blitz and the backdoor cut

    Enda McGinley enjoyed the outbreak of attacking football we got last weekend in Ulster and is giddy at the prospect of the best attackers being rolled out this weekend. But beware the full-back lines looking for revenge

    Football • 18 Apr 23
    "I just see too many fires for Roscommon to control"

    Roscommon need to be brave to down exciting Mayo

    Regardless of the bigger picture, we should sit back and enjoy a potentially brilliant opener in Mayo v Roscommon for the first televised provincial match of the year.

    Football • 09 Apr 23
    'For everything I'm beginning to think I know there is a Cluxton just around the corner'

    League lessons? Athleticism and game management are key

    Divining trends and form from the league can be difficult, but Enda McGinley believes there are a few discernible traits that a successful team must possess this summer.

    Football • 28 Mar 23
    'Kerry's speed of the transition between wings and decisive fast-paced runs at varying angles was also notable and gave evidence of an attacking unit working to a clear set of principles'

    Kerry's devastating 10-minute blanket-busting display

    Kerry, in just 10 wonderful minutes against Roscommon, put on a demonstration of attacking play that shows the defending champions have the tools to penetrate the blanket defence.

    Football • 22 Mar 23
    There's a growing tendency for pundits and the media to over analyse things, says Enda McGinley

    Raising a clenched fist to over-analysis of the game

    As much as modern tactics are important, by far the most powerful characteristics of a team remain the same as it ever was: desire, pride and energy, writes Enda McGinley.

    Football • 07 Mar 23
    'Modern wisdom suggests that one way to beat Derry is to mirror them in defensive shape and hope to profit, like Galway, from a more ruthless attack on the day'

    Defensive Football 2.0 a necessary Plan B for Armagh

    Rather than a sign of fear of Kerry, Armagh's negative tactics in Tralee were a necessary stress test for future tests, writes Enda McGinley.
