Things I don't understand about the GAA

A couple of things that I find difficult to understand. ???
In Croke Pk

they show the excellent 125 film narrated by Michael O'Muirheartaigh. This features many joyous celebrations by fans from different counties and rousing speeches addressing these fans.
They then announce that under no circumstances should anyone go on the pitch!!

they remind people that Croke Pk is in a residential area.
but they blare out Vodafone ads at deafening volume and as you are leaving the ground you can hear "May We Never Have to Say Goodbye" baring out all the way to Drumcondra Road.


Generally
Field measurements were changed to metric 16 years ago, yet every programme is a metric free zone with sh!te about stones and feet for every player.
If at first you don't succeed, then goto Plan B

Has the GAA not got enough outsiders trying to tear it down without looking for petty inconsequential stuff like this?

Wise up and don't be so sensitive.

I'll agree with armaghniac on the sound system in Croker, its turned up to ridiculous volumes. Its a bit of a joke that you have to start shouting over the top of the newest Vodafone offer so that the person beside you can actually hear you.

Ok then... managers who say they will never take another county and then go west a few months later  ;)
