The All-Ireland finals will always be among the greatest sporting events held in the country on any given year, irrespective of the month they are played.
Iād be in favour of moving them to August on a three year trial basis. If it doesnāt work out shift it back to the status quo. No harm trying it. If it stops club championships in counties being shoe horned into deepest, darkest November and December Iām all for it.
Itās farcical that the GAA suggest such a move would improve the plight of club players though when they plan to introduce this nonsensical āSuper 8ā issue at the quarter final stage.
I donāt understand why there was any doubt about this passing. Counties are mandated to vote so surely the result would have been pre-ordained today?
As Duffy says itās only for 3 years.
The rock reckons itās unfair on players to play 3 big games in 15 days!!
I thought the latter stages of the football championship were really good as things stood. Not sure the Super 8 thing was necessary, but at the same time they may work well.
Saying how great the new format for the new football championship is and generally towing the party line of supporting whatever official GAA-dom suggests.
I noticed this on Sunday night when he was on the RTĆ league highlights show advocating the new proposal. āAs PĆ”iric Duffy saidā¦ā Duffy seems a relatively alright sort and is happy to meet with players and hear them out but heās a nice way of bringing them on board as patsys. Same with journalists who he brings along to sit in on these meetings and so on.
