What's with the laughable efforts of players who chase and catch an opponent who is running with the ball (Lynch on at least two occasions and other players as well) only to push them in the back or just apply a bump.
Tackling is obviously not one of strengths but the players should at least know that they should try. Byrne's effort against Lynch in the 1st quarter could possibly be excused because he is Irish and nobody has bothered to teach him the rules but, if that is the case, they can claim the shame (whatever the hell that means).
The only performances that were even more ignorant were produced by fans who were baying for free kicks for incorrect disposal when our players did not tackle their opponent.
