Big issues in Fermanagh.
Entire league programme today called off due to positive tests in several clubs across the county
Wanted.  Forwards to take frees.
Not fussy.  Any sort of ability will be considered

Very well socially distanced crowd at the cork final.

(Agree with above. Bit of a mess.)

Cork Co. Board learned their lesson. Videos went around twitter during the week of Glanmire winning the minor football final. Stand was packed with no social distancing.

At this stage they should just cancel the rest of the season once the club championships are completed. Dublin is in lock down, Cork should be in lock down and cases are going up all over the country. It's only a matter of time before games get called off due to players getting Covid-19

The Cork GAA public didn't learn their lesson:

This is disgraceful stuff and there's no excuse in the world for it.

Antrim the same.
Is it?

I actually played for our seniors yesterday! Think though we were the only game that was played
None of us are getting out of here alive, so please stop treating yourself like an after thought. Ea

It seems to be mainly the city where it's bad and the only game that involved a City team went ahead behind closed doors the intermediate final.

For the County Final there is no way possible there were only 400 spectators there and there wasn't a pile of social distancing. I know plenty who have rocked up and paid at the gate in recent weeks!!

This has gone down really badly on social media, if that matters.

Is there any county that has come out of this with credit? Kilkenny perhaps.
If at first you don't succeed, then goto Plan B

Any Armagh lafs conform or deny? Forkhill won junior and went on the piss. 31 of 33 panel and coaches are now down and 100 cases in the village.

The GAA and particularly local clubs rightly got a lot of kudos for their overall response and assistance to vulnerable members of the community earlier in the year, they have fucked this all away the past few weeks.
The pictures of people huddled together in stands up and down the whole island, it's mind blowing to me the sheer level of stupidity on display, that march by Blackrock yesterday is beyond belief when you think about what is potentially going to happen with restriction levels here this week.
GAA giving it the big one to NHPET earlier on looks even more like the height of arrogance now, it's not been every club by any means, but enough GAA members and clubs have shown absolute contempt through their behaviour for those of us who have had to make huge sacrifices this year by continuing to do the right thing.

the goal was on

Absolutely woeful from gaa and county boards since games resumed. Deserve to be shut down. Crowding, hugging, over attendances, opening gates . No efforts to curtail it. How hard is it to spray down a few marks?!. Every dog on the street knows that partying after games and for days is the biggest threat but not a word about it from clubs or boards. Teams heading to the capitals from binges days after finals and then coming back to their communities .

GAA needs to call a halt to the season. They made the right call at the beginning of this pandemic and they need to do the same again, I know in the north here there is a section of people that are just waiting to lay the blame at the GAA if this gets any worse.

I follow Jamie Bryson on Twitter and he has called it out.

How many counties still have club finals to play off, Donegal and?
