It didnt give it context - it didnt mention waiting until it was medically safe at all - 'There will come a time, be it for work, football whatever, where this will no longer be possible/acceptable you then went on to say what you thought was the best way forward and again again no mention of waiting until it was safe medically.

You cant expect someone to read your mind.

Anyway - I couldnt read your mind or guess what you were thinking - no point continuing this - its futile

It said come a time, therefore pretty clear it wasn't meaning now. And given the fact the previous message and my first message on the topic had mentioned July then I think it's pretty clear you were being twisted with your attempt.
But your correct it is futile, you spent numerous posts aimed at me to basically get the point that I stated days ago in my first post.....July (which is when the medical advisors have said).

Whatever makes you happy man.

If you think that is what you meant then fair fucks to you. I didn't have a clue.....and I wasn't alone

Why is there a big debate about the opening of pitches , shur you're not allowed to train collectively ?
Walk-in down mchale rd , sun out, summers day , game day . That's all .

There's no debate, people are just impatient.

Are there any punishments for clubs caught training, or using their grounds? By and large, clubs seem to be adhering, but still.
Has any club been caught out in any way?
You'd imagine that clubs would at least have a minimal amount of cop on and wouldn't let it remotely come to that.

My own club are having a real issue with keeping people out of the ground. Was chatting to the chairman and he said other than stand at the gate he doesn't know what to do. He has issued statements in every way possible, he has locked the gates around the pitches and obviously the clubhouse. Yet our grounds are probably the busiest he's ever seen them away from actual football. Even people who have never been to a match or bought a ticket or done anything for the club are using it for their walks. This was one thing but by and large they seemed to be spread out time wise and in their own family grouping and there wasn't too many actually on the pitches so he wasn't overly concerned, but this last week he was saying that there a more and more groups of young people and players using the pitches, most worrying was  a small group of senior players (5/6 all non related) have been down on a few occasions basically doing strength and conditioning training and runs etc.... at least two are also committee members. The chairman is horrified and has spoken to them so not sure what will happen. Just to make clear we don't have the capacity for a few reasons to close the main gates, and the pitch is easily accessible. Also the senior manager has sent nothing to players regarding training or even home sessions and has repeatedly said we will not be doing anything till we are told and asked people to stay away from the pitches as well. So frustrating for the club who are trying to do the right thing

Your club needs to arrange its own public liability insurance to cover it until the GAA cover resumes.

The views of Colm O Rourke

Quote
"I would hope that there would be [senior inter-county matches] by late summer,"

"I think that the date of October is much too late. I hope that we will see action in August at the latest."

"I was hoping John Horan would say something different but the only thing I can see is he is saying that, but he has now brought together a medical committee to give him further advice,"

"I would hope that the medical committee will soon report back to him and say that he should be opening GAA grounds.

"Particularly for young people because I think the rate of infection under-15 is less than two per cent and I think that young people should be out playing at the moment.

"I think it would be possible to frame different types of, maybe five-a-side games, where you would have blocking but no tackling.

"Maybe GAA grounds could open up play for ten or fifteen minutes a half for ten [players], move them out and move in another group.

"Then you have the whole issue where you have walking tracks around grounds which are closed, forcing older people on the road to walk.

"I think it's a blunt instrument we have at the moment. I would certainly think that GAA pitches should be open in a controlled manner."

"I was at a club the other night and two older people walked past the gate of the club where there was a beautiful walking track available and they were walking on a very busy road," added O'Rourke.

"I just thought to myself, this is very silly.

"I know that John Horan has made the point that if he opened up walking tracks in Dublin, it would be very, very difficult to control them but I think so-be-it.

"I think we should be urging less caution, not more, and I think young people, in many cases in parts of Dublin, social distancing seems to have gone out the window with them.

"I think it would be much better from a GAA point of view to get them back playing in small numbers.

"The big concern for me would be, a lot of these people won't bother their head going back at all if they're shut out for a long time."

Is the ref going to finally blow his whistle?... No, he's going to blow his nose
