2018 NFL Division 1

[Never beat the deeler]

Lee Keegan is the best defender in the country but he is a master in the dark arts too. Watched 5/6 games previous to that game where he escaped blatant black card/yellow cards offences. As for this campaign about his name been blackened is just nonsense. Was playing on the edge too long as was bound to get caught eventually.

The issue is not how saintly Lee Keegan is! The issue is that over the period of 6 days Lee Keegan was subjected to the Consorted campaign from the national media! None of Dublins Saints such as Small, Cooper or McMahon who all continuously engage in the dark arts were singled out!!  Why? Because the NATIONAL media based in Dublin will not blacken their own (and why should they).

Bar a couple ex Dublin players how many of the national media are Dubs? Cooper and Philly have been called out many a time in media and are marked men with referees. We could go on about players and darts arts. Dublin, Kerry and Mayo are top teams but also the most cynical of pitch.

Look, most players get called out! But the concentrated effort that week was well above the norm! There were up to 10 Dublin pundits singing the same song all together!

And there was no controversy, no dodgy tackle, no penalty decision, Red Card, nothing that usually fills the headlines. it just came out of the blue!

Literally!

The GAA are criticized for calling off games too late was this a case of calling games off too soon?

Theres still loads of snow in tipp anyway, no chance any games around here would have been going ahead, cant imagine many grounds around the country being much different and then throw in the safety of supporters having to travel. All the hurling had to be played at the same time due to it being last day and permutations on finishing positions. GAA made the correct decision on these games

Lots of counties got little or no snow and any snow is washed away with the rain now.

There would have been zero chance of a game going ahead in Newbridge today.

[longballin]

no one would have went to Omagh last night; wouldnt put a bin out in that cold

With the forecasts and warnings etc the GAA did the absolutely right thing.

I knew there'd be one.

Considering only a few counties were badly affected was the warnings not a little over the top? the long range forecast for Saturday and Sunday was mostly rain i believe also.

Fair point on the hurling however I think a few football games would have went ahead today if they weren't called off too soon.

How many divison 1 games could have went ahead?

dublin kerry? an awful lot of snow in dublin, pitch might have been ok but surrounding areas around croke park might have called it
Tyrone Donegal? omagh playable?
Galway Monaghan? was this playable
Kildare Mayo....been said already this couldnt have been played

Theres still a good blanket of snow in tipp so the double header couldnt go ahead thus meaning all 1A hurling games wouldve been pulled

I'm sure a few games in each division would be playable today. Did the Leitrims game in London need to be called off for example?

[Syferus]

Some of ye would not want to be let near a fixtures list. The GAA is chaotic enough without more fûcking about until the last second not knowing if a game is going ahead or not.

Safety of supporters travelling and the players should come first.

[Cunny Funt]

In the future i can imagine the GAA heads at HQ will go back to their old routine of deciding if pitches are playable 2 hours before throw in.

At the time this was called off the status of flights was in doubt. Now flights did largely return yesterday, but schedules are disrupted and the team would have to get to the airport, setting off earlier in the day.
