Mayo are a busted flush. Too many miles on the clock for their players, too many crushing defeats and not enough new players coming in to freshen things up.
They bring the Dubs out of Croker, they apply the rules on the Laois game, they move the times for Sunday so suit Joe Punter - what more do you want? More handouts for O’Moore Park?
To move the time of the Laois Armagh game last Saturday the same way as they did this, so I didnt have to miss the second half. Fair play Mac, thats all.
They refixed Laois Armagh for next Saturday at 3, and put Laois Clare in Ennis at 7. Why not put the Laois Armagh game Sunday? Or vice versa? Just some consideration Mac. Thats all.
In 2013, Wexford footballers played Longford at 7pm in Pearse Park while the hurlers player Clare in Ennis on the same day at 5pm.
GAA handed Wexford a chance this year by fixing a double header and we repaid their generosity by having a total attendance for the day of 13,000 - I’ve seen more at Camogie finals.
Ask Offaly supporters about hurling and football fixture clashes. It’s not great but it’s not just Laois who get impacted. If Laois Armagh was perceived as a big enough draw it’d be moved. However, it’s not. Easier to keep it at that time to Armagh and the refs / officials can get home at a decent hour.
Mac, you had the right to give out back then. We have the right to give out now. What happened last Saturday was disgraceful. And its been shown up as such by the immediate move tonight.
