Kerry will break away from the GAA and set up the GKA. Those that are extra sensitive, will be in respite care.

Peter Robinson and Martin Mc Guinness will jointly manage Antrim after they've retired from office.
Geoffrey Donaldson will be chairman of Moira Padraig Pearses.
Mileage will be £2 a mile.
Mick O'Dwyer will be looking for another job, and will still be doing it for the love of the game, no change there !.
Mickey Harte will be the longest serving manager in GAA.
Crossmaglen will still be winning championships.
GAA will still be talking about burnout and we'll still be criticising referees.

Not much change then ?.

Agree with some of the above,
GAA will still be talking about burnout and we'll still be criticising referees,
Crossmaglen will still be winning championships,
however, mileage will be a flat rate of e100 per journey to combat continuing fuel inflation,
Mick O'Dwyer will be denying that he is drawing down a pension from a trust fund started by a Co. Board in the boom years,
Martin Mc Guinness will still be going to the odd match,
Peter and Geoffrey will be observing the sabbath when most of the GAA'S most important events are taking place,
Kerry people will still be complaining about the way that Down players ran into Mick O' Connell's path during the 1968 All-Ireland Final,
The only major change I forsee would be Mickey Harte moving upstairs and becoming the GAA's Director of er um ......the GAA, and giving directions on all things er um........GAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Players will be paid.
There will be no national anthem played.
No tri-colour will be flown at matches.

That's the main three I see happening.

stephenite · January 29, 2012, 01:13:33 AM

The parade will be disbanded

ONeill · January 29, 2012, 01:31:17 AM

Cheerleaders from Leitrim

bridgegael · January 29, 2012, 07:47:03 AM

all matches will be played behind closed doors.

mannix · January 29, 2012, 11:47:08 PM

I doubt players will be paid in ten years. Dublin will be clinging to 2011 as a beacon of glory. Mayo will be looking at beating Kerry in a 3 final in a row. Rosleitrim will be the best of the almagamation teams and be making it to semi finals every year. Sydney will be playing in the Connaught championship and have plenty of Aussie rules lads ready to show how tough they are but still not able to master the round ball.

The Dublin Bundeskrauts will be playing the Kerry Promissary Notes in the final games of the ECB iGaa series.
Tickets will cost €30,000,000 for the Hill and €50,000,000 for a stand.
There will be no ball.
The game will be played with handheld devices.
The referee will be a computer call Tadghín.
Tadhgín will take no crap.
All of Micheál O'Mhuirchearthigh's old commentaries will be put on a server and a computer generated commentary will be wifi-d to our devices.
Pitch invasions will only be allowed in hindsight.
Mayo will go close.
Capacity of Croke Park will be only 40,000 because we will have become so fat.
Despite the price getting tickets will be a nightmare what with the capacity reduction and with all of the choreographed attendees (King William, Queen Kate, One Direction, Sir Simon Cowell, Sir Peter Robinson, Sir Gerry Adams etc).
People will be concerned that Soccer and Rugby are about to take over even though both organisations are in hiding due to bankruptcy.

aliens land in croke park in 2018

Surely the DUP will make an appearance before then.

The New York manager Mick O'Dwyer will announce that Seánie Johnston will play for his team in 2022. Johnston will commute every day from his address in Times Square to his job in Timbuktu. He will be unveiled before a capacity crowd in Madison Square Garden and declare that it has been his boyhood dream to play for the Big Apple. He aims to become the first player to win All-Ireland medals with 5 different counties after lifting Sam Maguire with Kildare, Mayo, Kilkenny and London.
