GAA Response to Coronavirus

[J70]

So this shit is actually going ahead?

Donegal and Tyrone are meeting in Ballybofey this weekend?

[screenexile]

So the North have said

"No kind of organised contact sport involving households mixing outside the elite level"

I presume this covers the GAA.

Does this mean no training?? As usual sweet FA communication from Ulster GAA or from any of the 6 Counties on it!!

Catch yourself on. Seriously. Do you not think they will be looking some clarity themselves first? I'm
sure there is a queue at the door across the board seeking advice and clarity. Would it be totally shocking for businesses and livelihoods to get their answers before an amateur sport?

Tick tock . . .

So this shit is actually going ahead?

Donegal and Tyrone are meeting in Ballybofey this weekend?

Looking forward to it, will be interesting to see if the championship has any bearing on the way the teams approach it. Both still need points and a game behind them so it should be fairly competitive.

Will be great to see some live gaa over the next 2 months if it goes ahead. It's relatively small numbers involved and most teams will be out with 3/4 weeks for now. Given the lack of cases attributed to thousands of club games the matches will hopefully pass of without issue. The only problem could be if an outsider won the All Ireland and everyone went on the drink together.

I think by now most people know the dangers of celebrations so hopefully there won't be the mass gatherings like happened after club matches.

[johnnycool]

Yes GAA pulled all Club games in all 32 Counties independent of Governments.

A good few county finals still to be completed. Hard to see that happen this side of Christmas now.

It's ridiculous games are going ahead this weekend, especially in the North. Wexford clubs went on the piss after the county finals and now 6 players on the football/hurling panel have tested positive for Covid-19. Kerry players are expected to drive up to Monaghan individually and back again for their game. Crazy what's going on

What's you opinion of the rugby games I listed going ahead? A lot of them are taking place in the north. There's probably League of Ireland and Irish League soccer too. Are we not playing any of them or is it just GAA cos GAA is the only one that ever gets mentioned.

Most if not all teams will be expected to drive individually to their games this weekend than travelling together on a team bus.

LOI have shown they can deal with Covid-19 and implement social distancing. They haven't had any problems. The club rugby games shouldn't really go ahead either.

I see IRFU have now cancelled the club games at the weekend.

[Rossfan]

It's a stretch describing  Club rugby as "elite" or indeed L of I or IL soccer either.

But there is no crowds at these games so your 'social distancing' is a moot point

LOI teams have shown they can organise games safely.  GAA have shown they can't. Do people really believe no fans will get into any games this weekend? As a player would you be comfortable travelling to Monaghan or Donegal this weekend were cases are out of control?

[RedHand88]

Club rugby is off now because it is not elite sport.

[Angelo]

I'd say a lot of intercounty players are probably glad of having football as a distraction in these times.

A mate of mine is chairman of a league of Ireland rugby club here in Belfast, they've had loads of issues with having games played due to Covid, it's not plain sailing
