  1. ^ Moran, Seán (11 April 2020). "Finishers: How the evolution of substitutes has changed Gaelic football". The Irish Times. Kevin McStay, former Roscommon manager and a football analyst with this newspaper, remembers the past when he began playing in the 1970s and things were simpler and more clear cut... 'when I was at school in St Jarlath's I was on a team that never played subs. It wasn't until the end of my time there in the late 1970s that Jarlath's started using subs.
