Ireland v Australia, Rules Test 1, Breffni Park, Saturday 19 October 2013

[rrhf]

And why is it not?

[rodney trotter]

Because of lax boards. Wouldn't be possible to have it long over by October, but the first weekend or this weekend should be the latest for County finals, bar Counties who were involved in the All Ireland final and maybe Semi finalists.

Ciaran McKeeer playing the County final next week? What was the big hold up for...

[Wildweasel74]

Club football should start 1st week of march and be wrapped up for the end of September, there is plenty of time to fit in the games, this round robin (not straight knockout) championship delays games, not starting the county championship early enough too, There no real reason to hold off championship games with your county still in the all-ireland championship, most of our county players were getting kayoed at training not playing for their club (a few exceptions of course)

[rodney trotter]

Would agree club football should start in March in all counties if possible, started in February this year in Cavan

There was no need for McKeever or Murphy to be missing the first test, but that's the way it will be now. It wasn't as if AFL chiefs met with the GAA last week and decided to play the first test on the 19th, that was known a long time ago.

I'd agree that the club championships should be run off by september but the clash with the IR series is a non-issue for me.

You're expelling a lot of air on this "non issue"
