They are planning on solving the unemployment crisis in Ireland, so far they've decided that the Gov should grant aid them a few million each year and then they'll put a few ideas together.

Off to San Francisco on the All-Star tour.

I wonder how many of the GPA blazers will be going off on that junket.

Fire away Zulu. End the ill-informed speculation. Where have they gone? What do they do for their our money?

[Zulu]

This isn't speculation it's snide cheap shots from lads who are only interested in knocking the GPA irrespective of what they do? Do you or anyone else here know what any of the various body's within the GAA are doing? Where are the digs, sorry 'speculation' about how they're spending our money?

[Orchardman]

They might do some good things, but the lads are right, where have they gone? I always remember some armagh players complaining a few years ago about how much they pay out for water and supplements, and they need more money. Crossmaglen, and pretty much every senior club team in the county ( and junior) have lads who are out a packet with travelling from belfast/dublin, paying own gym memberships etc, no cries for money! don't try telling me any serious club player isn't training 5-6 times a week (including gym, yoga etc) . I do it myself and i'm lazy!

I don't mean this as a bedrudger, fair play to any man if he get's a few pound. But it used to sicken me when the old line '80, 000 people filling croke park, of course they can pay the players'. BUT, most county boards are in debt for spending up to a million each year on county teams, farce! The dubs spent 2 million this year of course, but they did well. Being a county player is a great thing despite the effort, if ya don't wanna do it, don't do it.
