A few players i know based in Dublin had a lovely little system whereby theyd get the train down the country for training but just buy a ticket to Sallins to get through the barrier at Heuston for around €5 but claim the expenses on the full train ticket which could have cost up to €50 a night.
Was working a treat till they got caught.
I have no issue with players getting travel expenses, and I have no issue with the rate increasing (I presume it’s based on standard mileage rates though? Not really sure on that tbh)
But I would also agree on a limit of 4 sessions per week, seems as good a way as any to stop intercounty managers taking the piss. I’d be interested to see how many counties are in excess of that, and who they are.
I suppose you could have 2 field sessions, 2 gym sessions & a match at the weekend…
Collective gym sessions that they’re traveling to? Surely not the best use of time mid season.
Probably not at this stage, might have one collective one and then it’s left up to the player otherwise.
You’ll get cunts out there who will want lads there 5-6 nights a week. I’d love to see these sort of cunts named and shamed. And if its what the “Group” wants, then good luck to ye lads, but Croke Park aint footing the bill.
Just saw Hampsey’s red card there. Braindead stuff. The nordies do love a cheap shot
‘Twas like Costello stood on a land mine
Needless from Hampsey though, as the man says if you’re gonna get sent off for that you might as well give him a right thump
I reckon Hampsey might not the sharpest
Ryan O’Donoghue given motm off Kevin McStay on Saturday, doesn’t even make gaa team of the week, nor nomination for player of the week. Goes to David Clifford 
Who picks this mate?
Ya know what, I haven’t a clue.
I wouldn’t be putting too much truck in it tbh
Mayo’s attacking efforts in the last 15 minutes of that were pitiful.
Jesus they were hopeless. Who are they missing bar Tommy goals? Yer man o donoghue isn’t the answer when it comes to the crunch
Is The COC back yet?
Oh yea. He wasn’t playing there anyway. He hasn’t got the X factor either though especially not at this stage.
Tonight’s performance gave me the opinion that he is, in fact, done. Stick a fork in him.
They look rudderless, O’Donohue kicking the ball back 50 yards into his own half with scores scarce and time fleeting was symptomatic of a man bereft of faith, ambition or purpose. The dream is over, sadly.
That was the pass of a spread better.
He’s a massive loss in fairness, he looked the best of them. Frightening pace.
