Connacht SFC 2020

[An Fhairche Abu]

Sligo sounding like they'll be the first team seriously affected by COVID-19 during the championship.

When did gough change his mind? I thought he was distancing himself from the lads this year?

Months ago as he was the ref for a few of the recent NFL games.

Galway to be parachuted into an All Ireland QF.

[An Fhairche Abu]

It's no good whatsoever to Galway if they get a walkover.

[Farrandeelin]

Seven players!! That's a lot coming into championship week. We know from Fermanagh's experience that sweet fcuk all will be done and Sligo will more than likely have to forfeit, or else make do with what they have left. Totally unfair.

[Rossfan]

Little Sligo will likely be told "tough luck folks".
Now if it was Dublin......

[An Fhairche Abu]

Push this match and the Connacht final out a week is the only slight room they have to manoeuvre on this one, there's three weeks from Connacht final to AI semi match whereas it's two weeks for all the other provinces, it could be done.
Precident for other matches where there is no wiggle room is the problem I'm sure.

Well if there's three weeks between cf and aisf I can't see why there would be a problem pushing the cf out a week to give Sligo a chance of fielding a team .

The GAA should have been clear on what the policy is for this from the start so that everyone knows where they stand. Whatever rule applies to sligo in this instance should apply to all other counties where it will inevitably happen also

Can't see any county with a shout of winning something getting lads tested and taking the risk.

[Blowitupref]

With Covid cases and contacts the Connacht GAA would have to push the match back two weeks for all those players to be available for selection.

It's a wonder the CB hasn't issued a statement yet. Surely they must have anticipated a situation like this happening and have a set policy in place?
