Perhaps. Just going on what I heard and would make sense as to why Omagh didn't have a single player make the team.

I think we've just been used to our season being dragged out all year and now it's not we're struggling to get used to it. Other physically demanding sports from tennis to rugby don't yap about a week turnaround. We've seen AI finals replayed in 6 days.Quote from: Duine Inteacht Eile on April 07, 2024, 10:09:23 PMQuote from: imtommygunn on April 07, 2024, 10:04:21 PMI imagine the mental side of that is tougher than the physical.Wicklow got relegated 2 weeks ago but yeah God help Westmeath and their mental turmoil of winning the league a week ago.
Give teams a few days to get over knocks and fatigue without going straight into a championship game, especially with teams playing week after week on heavy pitches.
Not everyone has a squad like a Derry or Dublin. Leitrim in the same boat today. You just will not get the best version of a team with a weeks break.
It's equal for both teams in that regard. Today was Westmeath's 4th match in 4 weeks while Wicklow had two weeks to prepare and without taking away from their win they certainly had a scheduling advantage.
4 matches in 4 weeks! Mad Ted!
Fine if it was 4 in 4 weeks for both teams Ted!
Get to bed Dougal!
Knock yourself out Jack if you wan't to ignore any fixture scheduling advantage.

Quote from: Saffrongael on April 07, 2024, 09:45:37 PMRidiculous? These are elite athletes. I don't understand how they'd need more than a week to be ready for a game.Quote from: Wildweasel74 on April 07, 2024, 09:37:42 PMWestmeath shouldn't have to play championship fball a week after a Division 3 final, It doesn't make sense that there not a 2 week gap from the finish of the league
It's ridiculous
Quote from: grounded on April 07, 2024, 12:23:47 AMJohn Flynn getting the community spirit award was the highlight for me, but I really enjoyed the show overall.In what regard?
That was a super Down minor team in 87. Was the basis of the 91 and 94 senior teams.
Quote from: armaghniac on April 06, 2024, 10:26:12 AMAny idea what this looks like in a practical sense? If I'm a random club in the middle of Armagh, how am I seeing this revenue coming in? And what sort of money are we talking annually?Quote from: Tubberman on April 06, 2024, 09:23:32 AMQuote from: armaghniac on April 05, 2024, 11:21:59 PMQuote from: Tubberman on April 05, 2024, 11:16:19 PMQuote from: armaghniac on April 05, 2024, 11:08:36 PMQuote from: Tubberman on April 05, 2024, 10:50:39 PMWill he ask about the embarrassing legal threat to Supermacs over the April Fools joke?
They'll not apologise for clamping down on ambush marketing and rightly so.
They'd want to pick and choose their battles.
Corporate Croke Park against a homegrown company that is a big GAA sponsor isn't likely to win much popular support.
Who is "corporate Croke Park"? There is only one GAA and these people are charged with protecting the brand to raise revenue for all of us. Supermacs should be undermining the brand in this way and would likely be just as protective of anyone using their brand.
Unfortunately I don't think that's true. Peter McKenna runs Croke Park as a corporate entity, there to make money, and as far as I can see he couldn't care less whether it's Taylor Swift or an All-Ireland final that's booked in, as long as it brings in the cash.
He's as far removed from the local club volunteers as it's possible to be.
I mention Peter McKenna as he's the name I know, but presumably there's a large team of people involved.
Peter McKee a does what he us told to do, which includes bringing in more money, which then makes its way to local clubs.
It us fine to say that he should d stop trying to make money, if you are happy to raise that money some other way or do without.
