GAA Response to Coronavirus

[armaghniac]

Am I missing something?

Kilcar player confirmed positive case, their club has ceased activity, but the Donegal CB says the county final is still going ahead this week?

The county squad is in isolation too due to a squad member testing positive for covid. I've no idea whether the Kilcar and Naomh Chonaill lads were in county training given their clubs' progress.

This is going to put boys off getting tested/reporting positive results.

Anyone that does this should be banned for life.

"Mr Gove also said the government would "pause" plans to see a gradual return of fans to sporting events from October 1."


There won't be many fans at the all Ireland Football Final. Why not play it in Achill ?

Croke Park is awful with even 15,000 ie club finals . You can hear the seagulls talking

Play it in Prenty's hot air balloon.
Any chance of a return of more spectators has evaporated after the irresponsible behaviours at many venues at the weekend

The Financial Times?? you're a flash fécker and at Eur690 per annual subscription -  not a GAA board koshered  source. Regardless, the Republic does  not answer to Michael Gove,  aka "an appalling idiot".

watching tg4 last night it was obvious that the rules were not followed in almost all of the county finals. Very disappointing and reduces the chances of spectator number increasing imo.

If the Premiership and English rugby won't have fans neither with the gah.
The thing about this clip is that most  shots include fans.

Tough call in Croker for the Maoir uisce

[Farrandeelin]

Personally can't see the championship going ahead now. Especially with the extra restrictions in the 6 counties and talk of extra counties going to level 3 down here.

PS Smokin Joe, I wasn't aware that was the reason the dressing rooms remained closed.

Championship will start but remains to be seen if it'll finish .

The GAA was going to watch other sports before deciding...

The return of crowds to sports events has been postponed for up to six months after the Prime Minister warned that Britain was at a "perilous turning point" in tackling a second wave of coronavirus.
Boris Johnson announced that all his new lockdown measures — which also include a ban on indoor sports — would last "perhaps six months" and would have "profound consequences".

Seafold, I'm just trying to help you here, rein you in from your wild flights of fancy on the internet.
Practice common sense and offer a link to a BBC article instead of a vault locked FT article.

I don't have time to read the BBC, Main St.
There wasn't anything else of GAA interest in that article.
Gove wouldn't even know Cavan were playing Monaghan in the preliminary round. Tsk.

Donegal county final is off.

County looking unlikely imo.
