Hard job tbf, wealth of abuse. They add tp the human nature of the game
Iâm not sure what this has to do with the thread topic but this would be a bad idea.

360,000 peak viewership for Glen v Brigidâs last week. Higher viewership than Galway v Mayo national league final in 2023. I thought the club game was dying according to the experts on here?

There we have it. Itâs basically professional now and we all know professional sport means the strong get stronger and the weak get weaker. Money ruins it.
Itâs very sad the gaa is insisting on going down this route.
Managers like him are exactly why the split season is a necessity and why it has worked.
If left to his own devices, those players would never ever be released.

The gaa should not have created a season which renders inter county gaa in the vast majority of the country utterly pointless.
They fixed way too many games and way too long a season.
There should be 3 warm up games and a championship game with the back door like we used to have.
That way more counties can compete and thatâll benefit the grassroots gaa too.
Theyâve created an absolute monster and itâll be just about who uses their money the best. The little man stands no chance.
If the GAA absolutely insists on retaining this utter dogâs dinner of a championship format theyâd be as well off abolishing the league altogether and banning inter-county training from the end of July until Paddyâs Day.

Spending 10 weeks playing competitions that nobody wants to win is just bananas stuff, yet here we are.

Donât think that has anything to do with the split season. Glenuilin have won the intermediate two years in a row and are still not senior due to restructuring of the championships by the county board, many of the clubs are against these changes but it appears the board have the balance of power. Holding secret ballots is a sure fire way to piss off clubs even more.
I think tÄĽe issue is these Warm Weather training camps and cost involved.
I thought they were banned a few years ago but this new split season world must have given them a reprieve.
Donât think they were banned. Dublin hurlers were on one last year
Teams would lose home advantage for a League game or something if they went.
Think i remember that being the case alright.
They were banned for the month of April wasnât it, so that club championships could be played across Ireland before the whole club championship scene closed down again until September. A CPA initiative at the time that proved to be woefully unpopular with the vast majority of club players when it was implemented, do the CPA even exist anymore?
