Just saw the ticket prices for the Ulster championship - £20 for a seated ticket isn't that bad, is it?

I see today from our local paper that Liam Hinphey, one of the few dual players left in Ulster, has quit the Derry hurling panel.  This is a huge blow for Derry hurling, with the keeper having injured his shoulder as well.  I think it's time something was done about the stream of dual players quitting one or the other - what about limiting inter-county teams to two nights' training a week?  Something has to be done because the best hurlers in Derry aren't playing hurling, and I'm sure it's the same in other smaller counties.

What is the stupidest rule in the GAA rule book?  For the proposed 'disciplinary action', this has to be my favourite.

"A team may commence a game with thirteen players but shall have fielded fifteen players, inclusive of players ordered off or retired
injured, by the start of the second half.  In the event of failure to comply with this, the game shall continue."

If the game's gonna continue, what's the point of the rule?!

Also, Rule 11
