Has the season been cancelled yet? I cannot believe our press office have not made a statement, talk about leaving lads in limbo

A conundrum for me this week.
Like many others I was aghast at the club championship celebrations across Ireland - not the on-pitch ones, they're outdoors and relatively transient, but the pubs and clubs jammed full of young people drinking from cups, sharing mics, dancing, singing - basically the "what not do to" guide to Covid.
So I was in support of the GAA's "shut the lot down" announcement.
But looking at the news across the world since then. Scotland has some GAA. The north of England too. There's probably a club or two in Madrid and Paris, and maybe a league of some description in Germany. It's doubtful there's much GAA happens in Turkey or Poland. And oddly enough, apart from Scotland and England, the same "go to the indoor pub and get bladdered weekly" stereotype isn't prominent.
So I'm now around to thinking that it might be time to stop scapegoating GAA members, and especially the Association as an administrative body, and accept that if cases are rising across Europe, then what has happened in Ireland the past week isn't on the GAA.

Does anyone know what protocol there is for remainder of league if a club is shut due to covid? Do they forfeit the match. At the minute I know that the Bridge and Saul are closed.Are there any others?
The rules are you've 72 hours to play the game, if you can't due to covid you forfeit the points
