They can play for their clubs in April & May
I can only please one person per day. Today is not your day. Tomorrow doesn't look good either

What I'm trying to say is the central council should take over club fixtures, lay down rules that are similar in every county, I. e every county must have knockout/groups etc. Until this happens counties who kowtow to managers wishes and shaft the ordinary club players will continue.

I'd say the switchboard operator in Croke Park will be delighted to take a call on a Sunday morning telling her that the pitch in Farrandeelin is flooded at the bottom end, or that Johnny the scoreboard man's grandad is on the way out and the game might have to be put off if he dies.

Just a suggestion. What's your proposal?

Don't broke what isn't fixed. Its important for counties to keep control of games and fixtures. If a county board or CCC is doing a bad job, the clubs can vote them out. The clubs can't vote out a paid official in Croke Park.

And county boards need to stop postponing games for all sorts of excuses. It was odd to see Tommy Kenoy on the Indo the other day championing the CPA and lamenting the plight of the club player and then whinging that the Connacht Council wouldn't call off a game for his club because one of their elderly club Presidents had died.

People like five points are what is ruining the GAA........

If this were a motion, it would probably get passed at Congress.

Another suggestion... go back to what they did around 100 years ago. It'd help player burnout no end. Start next year's championship and finish it in January or February 2019. Better still July 2019. The weather and pitches would be better then. There'd be plenty of time for club players, dual players and all sorts of competitions.

Better still go back 20 years and lose the backdoor, championship should be straight knockout - the qualifier system is just a superfluous money making scheme.

So the big launch was this morning.. A game changer or more pointless waffle?

Just signed up there.
Great to see the likes of Liam Griffin and Anthony Moyles involved with this.
If you were any use you'd be playing.

I just hope that they dont get any tax payers money. I dont believe that the GPA should ever have got any either. If the GAA cant fundthem then let them do without

I doubt the CPA will be looking for taxpayers money. The GPA was always about money and still is, the CPA is not.
