It’s play on while you can, and don’t be a silly bugger when you cannot.What I’m not sure about is, when championship comes around and a team cannot fulfil: a) postponement, b) walkover or c) reintroduce a loser from the previous round.I’m hoping it’s not a).I'd say walk-over - time is of the essence. Only problem is if some club goes down the legal/court route. That would f**k everything up.I think GAA HQ would need to make statement shortly clarifying this, or they might leave it up to each county board.Only problem with this is if some club player tests positive, there's a good chance the club will keep quiet about it and play on regardless.

I hope no one is that stupid
What’s the Town? Have they got one also? Not good
Ah come on. If teams start doing that then what hope will we have of living with this? Is that a genuine reason to stop? Genuine question.

Genuine question.Yes, it’s an excellent reason to stop, otherwise if any of their players picked it up they’ll probably pass it on to whoever they are marking in the next game and the cycle continues!
