I seen him and his with Salthill-Knocknacarra team mates in a Galway city pub after one of the their championship wins drinking away. Changed times now it seems?
Is the ref going to finally blow his whistle?... No, he's going to blow his nose

Kilmacud... a club of 7 adult teams and no other games for a month... are unable to field for the league final!

It's mad but do we have Kilmacuds rationale for this nonsense??

It is a bit off, IMHO.
If at first you don't succeed, then goto Plan B

Armagh18

Maybe telling the county board to sort themselves out and have the leagues done and dusted before championship?

Eire90

so who wins the league

Eire90

they dont seem to take leagues serious in some counties because there main championships are not knockout like tyrone

Can't get my head around that from Kilmacud. Can they not even give Fringe players the chance to play in a league final and get some valuable experience out of it?

Just symptomatic of how the GAA is. Clubs don't want fair. They want a system worked in their favour.

Kilcoo won't play a county final jkless they get a referee they like.

Dromore won't take penalty kicks in a minor final, even if it's in the rules. And will appeal to the death afterwards.

Kilmacud won't play a league final as it'll interrupt their championship planning.

And so on.

You know what they'd do in America in any of these situations? They'd fine the club, then throw them out of the competition for a year or two. And the rest of the clubs then row in behind the administrators. Because the sanctity of a competition is that important.

Over here, we've the opposite.

Kilmacud could fire out 15 lads who are gonna be nowhere near their first team I'm sure. Joke is right.

Eire90

is it snowflakism within some gaa clubs or some sort of entitlement.

Eire90

The all ireland semi final is not to january and they say they cant field a team do these players not want to win trophies.
