Good to see you still have a sense of humour Lar ;D
I presume none of the Tyrone players come from those parts within the Derry/Strabane Council area.

Seems crazy that all the panel were deemed close contacts (Offaly). The guidelines, if followed, should ensure no one is a close contact.

Not all the panel were deemed close contacts.

QuoteThe HSE has deemed almost every member of the Offaly panel as a 'close contact' of a player with Covid-19.

Sounds like Offaly messed up in how they ran the training session, given that the HSE have done contact tracing for a number of county panels and this is the only county who seem to have an issue relating directly to how a training session was run.

Should be a warning to other counties.
From what I read it seems the only lads who weren't close contacts were the lads who missed training.

It's very odd. Either HSE have gone nuclear on what is a close contact as opposed to a casual contact - in which case there's no point in continuing the season.

Or (presumably more likely) Offaly fecked up in the way they ran the session (e.g. everyone was huddled together in a changing room for tactical discussions)

They clearly messed up as training and playing matches is classed as casual contact not close.
