    Dunno if it's part of the evolution of football, clever stepping up by defence or its just us, but what ever happened to the "through ball"?

    The lovely pass that puts a striker clean through on goal, with just the keeper to beat. Remember it?

    Ah yes. McHale or Banks to Glavin was a vintage version of it.

    Certainly was. Glavin has always said he rated McHale really highly. Said his passes were always weighted spot on, right place, he never broke stride.
