Q: Why in championship season would any GAA club / manager willingly set every last team member up as a bound list of close contacts, when delta variant is rampant on the island?

A: they'd need to be an ignoramus to think more can be gained from doing this than not doing this.

Yep 100 %, it would be utter madness. I enjoy the team talks on the field. Less f+cking about screaming & roaring in a dressing room.

not at the minute def not, be a disaster for clubs. when the weather changes id be for teams who have to travel any decent distance being able to use showers in small numbers if they wish, that'd be the only one id be thinking it acceptable or required

GAA clubs should be able to manage this, drop your gear and  walk out, no team talks etc, you then can shower afterwards, most clubs have 4 changing rooms, for adults games you could give two changing rooms to each team.

Aye we should.

In reality this means either a couple of volunteer Covid officer pit bulls falling out with anyone who abuses your list of acceptable uses (and putting everyone involved in bad form), or else everyone just doing whatever they please; including how they address close contacts when the question is posed.

Thank you. But no.

I saw someone on Twitter making the point that girls should be allowed in to change into and out of their jerseys for the match. I can see their point on that to be fair.

Jesus you'd like to think that goes without saying already. Of course changing rooms should be open, how you expect lads to drive home soaked and sweating after a game, in many cases for probably the guts of an hour I dont know.

Because the alternative is that anytime one of their teammates (which might be 40 men) gets Covid, then they're deemed a close contact.

I'd drive home from anywhere sooner than spend 10 days in isolation, let alone in isolation during championship season.

Only thing is I suppose its that close contacts don't self isolate anymore if they are double vaccinated. Not sure if that's the case in the south too?

So you'd need a Vaccine passport to get into the changing room? Keep them closed.....less confusion.

NPHET said today that they need 90% vaccination of over 60s in order to remove COVID restrictions.
Estimates say mid October.

Over 16s, of course. This is not an especially ambitious target as 91% have one dose and 3 weeks will see them get another dose. They need to keep bearing down on the other 9%.

The basic thing is that the number if cases has to drop so that we are not one of the highest in Europe. Even though hospitalisation is reduced, if you have a load of cases then you have fair amount of people in hospital using beds that could be used for something else.

Only a fool would want to squeeze his 30 man squad into a dressing room at the minute. Makes no sense on any level.

What about underage buses? Has the GAA updated any on this seeing public transport is back at full capacity?
