Just seeing that suspensions having been handed down to Cork and Down for breaking training regulations.

Think we would need to be taking a look at this and any clubs involved need a serious bit of cop on.

You'd think the risk of getting caught at a collective training session nowadays would be too risky?

Maybe these bans will slow things down a bit.

Hard to understand why any club would be going with a collective training session, makes no sense. I know of a few grounds with lights making the pitch available for evenings for individuals to train. Can't train in the dark, unlike in April/May/June where you had evening light and could use a local field to keep fit.

There will be some amount of injured players at club level this year. Gyms shut, teams can't train. Physio's will make a fortunes

Not very nice of you

I must say we (Clubs) may be getting very resourceful these days, now take the scenario of lets say an U20 football team brought down to the pitch staggered times in small groups throughout the morning organised previously, to do a run then a fitness test etc etc for the new management team, and the new management team just happened to be in the clubhouse at a meeting about the possible new season etc etc etc. Then the police who possibly are driving around doing their job, see this regularly over a period of time and inquire is there training going on? Whats your opinions gents ? Its a tough one!

[Belfast GAA man]

if managers and players are there its officail session - simple

Antrim Hurlers training away. Been spotted out several times.

Where at? I think this accusation was dismissed on the Hurling page.

12 week ban for Paddy Tally, can we expect to see more of the same for some of these clubs allegedly training?

You'd hope so. I've heard rumours of North Antrim teams also training on the sneak.

Anybody and any club found breaking these rules should be punished severely. Shows a complete lack of respect and leadership.

[Na Glinntí Glasa]

id be very surprised if any teams are training. I know lads have individual training/running to do for teams but theres no where to train at night as everywhere is closed.

i work from home every day and can see our pitch and i can def confirm theres no one training in it. Nothing but constant walkers and runners is all you see.

If teams are breaking the rules then plain and simple kick them out of the championship. It will solve it all

[imtommygunn]

Round where I'm at there are pitches and boys are training in twos there but that's it. It's also soccer pitches which are well hidden so if GAA teams wanted to train this would be the place for them and they aren't lol.

CCC proposing single round leagues with promotion and relegation for winners only in hurling and football.  With group based championship format, like last year.

Seems like an ambitious schedule, when are they thinking this might start?
