No London game for Ros so.
Probably feck all spectators allowed?

I assume you're grateful for that. You'll have an extra week's preparation for us or the 'Laythrums'.

Ah Fareen a Championship game even against the poorest team is worth more than a weeks rest.
Ye'll be getting it handy anyway as I can't see the Laythrums being too interested with no Qualifiers or Tailteann.
Is that remark by Horan about Covid infecred teams conceding walkovers officially adapted?

Should have just scrapped the All-Ireland, can't see the public having any interest whatsoever

Play the remaining NFL games and the Club Provincials/All-Irelands....Junior, Intermediate and Senior

That's a fairly miserable view,

I would say it will do a lot of good instead of a miserable winter with Covid and otherwise no sport for GAA enthusiasts,

The public had plenty of interest in the club scene the last number of weeks with online streaming of proving to be a hit. Not sure how you reckon the public would have no interest in the All-Ireland championships?

Have to agree...club football has been a good follow this year without county football and would have been nice to see the thing played through to the the All Ireland. Club football has been more than adequate replacement for county stuff and provided imo more competitive games for viewing.

if anything club football should be treated bigger by rte the all ireland club finals should be giving a prime slot on a saturday afternoon/evening also provincial club finals could be showing over two weekends on rte

I would say the football has been better than the county stuff.

Sports fans have been starved of sport this year.
If they'll watch the Bundesliga they'll watch the All Ireland

Main Street

The scenes  of whole  squads from Maghery and Kilcoo, celebrating en masse with their fans at the end of 2 games were not good examples to demonstrate that the GAA "family" will act with appropriate responsibility should spectators be allowed to attend games in the south.
It's risky enough that many fans practice zero social distancing at games  but to go full gusto into a frenzied festive mode together with the players is an added form of madness.   

Rossfan

Wouldn't we in the 26 be a bit more law abiding and responsible than wild mountainy Nordies?

Spectators are now going to be allowed at sports games in the south I just read. 200 at 5k plus capacity stadiums.

Main Street

200 is a drop in the oceon, of very little value to the game but  there is some scope for optimism

'For very large purpose built event facilities (for example: stadia, auditoriums, conference or event centres) specific guidance will be developed with the relevant sectors to take account of size and different conditions for larger events.'
