Just listened to Jarlath Burns on BBC. I like Jarlath and hope he has a great reign but some thoughts (hope he reads the GAA Board lol)
He was very coy about payments being made to managers. His son is on the Armagh panel.They are one of the most "professional" set ups around. McGeeney, Donaghy, Gilligan etc are on tens of thousands of pounds. The Armagh players virtually never play for their clubs and the club leagues in the county are terrible.
This is replicated up and down the country but surely Jarlath must know what's happening on his doorstep.
Because these people are getting paid so well they are placing so many demands on players to justify their existence. This is the problem in the GAA!!!!!
