These Guys are well worth their milage money

[ftp]Goalkeepers will no longer be able to avail of a silver service from ball boys behind their goals, the GAA's Central Competition Controls Committee has decided

Don't Matter must be on the CCCC

I remember when my Dad was training Ferbane, I had a vital job. When we had the wind, my job was to go down behind the goals and throw the ball back in directly to the keeper after every wide or score. I had two spares with me to keep it moving. When against the wind, I'd dander off back to my seat. This is hardly a new phenomenon, this is back in 1986 or thereabouts. They really do have little to be at.

Tyrone have spoiled it all for everyone again.

In fairness this is probably an issue in that one goalie is more likely to get a ball in croke park quicker than another.
Probably all part of home advantage in most cases but then some teams never play their matches at "home"

Fair play I say

Sure what chance do Tyrone have when the GAA are marginalising them so horrifically? Ye won't beat Carlow with those sorts of unfair odds stacked against ye.

Maybe one day someone will care enough about Roscommon to marginalise them.

I don't see the problem. Surely anything that speeds the game up is a good thing.

[snoopdog]

could the keeper not keep a few spares close by post without the need for a ballboy

Thought I was going to be reading about the GAA permitting sales of the magazine for the homeless at games,when I opened this thread?
