Usual twisty nonsense from the GPA

Must be expecting a windfall

I'd honestly love to see their suggestions / proposals for balanced fixture integration.

[Rossfan]

Fixture integration?

[thewobbler]

Fixture integration?

Yeah in terms of how club fixtures are divvied up in an even way across the week.

Up until recent years in Down, football and hurling took their preferred slots, then Camogie and LGFA slotted in around.

This arrangement obviously isn't perfect, and harks back to GAA owning all the facilities. But I can't help sensing it's a more efficient approach than everyone being equal in every way, when all are GAA.

It will be an absolute clusterfuck

I personally think the GPA should be cut loose, if they want to create their own governing body with their own administration, stadia, marketing, etc let them at it

Funny the GPA has no press release on 5 Mayo bucks pretending to live in a Dublin warehouse to milk fake mileage expenses

[Captain Scarlet]

I am afraid to go down the rabbit hole, but is that the case. Lads living in a unit but the Mayo GAA people had an issue with someone telling on them?
Like if we were being strict and carpooling was going on and all 5 claiming then that's dodgy...

The GPA seem to be throwing their weight around recently particularly with the skorts row showing the power they hold.
The skorts issue was up before congress last august why didn't they campaign for it then instead of dragging through the dirt the officials who keep the organisation running.
Its great it has been changed now,  but come on how was that fair on the hard working people who were getting abuse.

The officials had no role in this issue, except obviously to enforce the rules that were in place. It was congress delegates that determined this. If the officials or the "GAA" were getting abuse on social media etc then that simply showed the ignorance of the posters.

Or were they living in it?

Like i said 5 GPA members claiming false mileage expenses, but no shortage of statements on the latest populist bandwagon, skorts/shorts

[Rossfan]

That's some accusation.
Hope you don't hire the BBC's Barrister!!

Lads have the hand out again this morning.

 Inter-county players drive over €600M into the Irish economy & create 4,200+ jobs, yet, on average, they're €4,600 out of pocket annually.

Think about that when you are one of the lucky 83,000 to attend the All-Ireland final or are one of the 1 million plus who tune in on television.

It's time to meaningfully invest in the players who give their everything for our National sports.

🎥 Watch why we're calling on government to enhance the grant for inter-county players

Who is 'we' ? The GPA.. just wondering who you are speaking on behalf of.

Ah yes, sorry - was lifted from a GPA post on the monstrosity of LinkedIn including a video from Big Tom. Got my goat a bit.
