best wishes to the guy. I don't know him but know the name. Anything to Karl?

Father

Thought that. Sadly I think will be more and more comments like this on this board soon. There was a 70 plus year old from the Glens (cushendall I think) who got released from Antrim area hospital yesterday after having made a recovery. Hopefully it will be the same outcome. Haven't heard any more on Niall Murphy either

Hope Liam pulls through, never missed a match at Milltown and loved a chat. Funny I saw Karl out for a run the other day, flying.

I heard last night that Murph had improved slightly, they had reduced his sedation so hopefully he keeps improving

[imtommygunn]

Thanks for that tyrdub. Hopefully improvement continues on all fronts.

With less timE for the season this year if we get one at all maybe we have only space for a club season and no county football....

i dont think there will be any inter county action this year at all. with how things are going it will take some time for normality to come back in this island.

it could be another 4 weeks before we see some sort of relaxation but theres no way they will permit any form of sports where people can crowd together. Id love to see it all back again but to be realistic i cant see it happening.

i dont see a club scene happening either.

If it were to come back would you really be comfortable in such a crowd of people too?

I imagine the year isn't far of a write off for club and county though people will be itching to play and see games again.

25 plus players in a changing room! No more huddles or hairdryer treatment from the managers! I'll just take numbers when refereeing and carry a can of Pepper spray!

No Mention of monies paid to county boards for leagues and championship entry fees coming back to the clubs. Croke seems to be sidestepping their role and hand passIng to govts............

[imtommygunn]

A video on Antrim twitter of him. Great to see.

If your holiday is delayed long enough or cancelled you generally get a refund. While both Governments have stepped into supporting tax payers etc it seems that as Easter has come and gone and with no end to lock down in sight that the Croke Pk mandarins, as Pontius Pilate did, are washing their hands. If we don't push for refunds to the clubs then the clubs "blood will be on us and our children". Shame on them

[Tyrdub]

Ulster GAA announced changes to competitions including cancelling some. Seems sensible.

They also said there would be no refunds for season ticket holders. Seems mercenary.

Sad to hear of the passing of Paddy McIlvenny. An absolute gentleman.
