Excerpt from todays Indo

Quote from todays Independent:

Meanwhile, Ulster Council president Tom Daly has stated that the current furore over the players' grants would never have materialised had the GAA been involved in the initial discussions on the issue

"If, from day one, the negotiations in this matter had been with the management of our Association nationally, and not with part of our membership, I don't think that we would have ended up in this terribly difficult, divisive situation," the Donegal man said.



Why on earth did the GAA not get involved sooner? It's not like them to sit quietly on the sidelines and let this turn into the mess that it is. I don't get it. I don't understand folk saying that it would not have happened etc etc yet no one done anything to get involved in it..

Confused!

Arse about face - the horse has well and truly bolted at this stage and there's no point going for a padlock now.
