All wishful thinking.
Ger Loughnane stopped club hurling in Clare in the mid 90s, since then the tooth paste has been out of the tube.
Amazing that Aaron Shanagher effectively came from nowhere to start for Clare the last day, on the back of a good outing for his Club in the Clare League the previous weekend.

Itâs a far worse case of wishful thinking to suggest that the destruction of the inter-county championships will in any way benefit the GAA.
You either take the decisions that need to be taken or you accept the slow decline of the GAA as a whole.
Club activity should be run across the summer. And the penalty for its cancellation should be disqualification from the inter-county championships.
He is the ultimate through the floor/high ceiling player. He was very good the other day but I think he took a took a first touch on the opposition 40 there once before eventually gathering it on the halfway line.
Iâd say they are watching his touch for trampoline tendancies the whole time.
Club championship in April was a disaster for club players.

It isnât a solution. The split season allowed inter county teamâs fixture list to explode.
Thatâs the issue.
The split season does absolutely nothing for duel players like Noel McGrath particularly when facing into single code clubs because youâve got almost double the schedule with no break.
The four clubs at the top of the tree in Limerick donât have dual players really and they have a huge advantage against the pretenders who nearly all have a few dual players. Dual clubs have been shafted and to compete theyâll be forced to focus on one code which invariably impact hurling more than football.
The issue was there was too many inter county games so the solution is not more inter county games.
No they werenât they were absolutely brilliant. The training gave you something to focus on during the darkest of days in winter and allowed you take your mind off exams and whatever else.
Those skill sessions have just been replaced by horrendous gym sessions.
There was a few iconic performances in the 2014 club games in April before Limerick ambushed tipp.
Going back training in the middle of January for a game or two in April that could shape your whole year was a lot of things but definitely not brilliant.

It was absolutely brilliant. Thatâs when real bonds were formed.
Thereâll be nobody playing club gaa in a
Few years because the junior soccer and junior rugby seasons are vastly superior for club players as well.
Absolute nonsense
Just goes to show the league is doing its job, as is the split season.

Nobody playing Gaa in a few years. Some tribe.
Just how many April championship games did you actually play?
Does U10s count?
Sure hardly anyone goes to games anymore.
What do you think will follow that? While the best games are put behind a paywall and ran off in a very short time.
Of course in years to come way less people play.
Thatâs so obvious surely to anybody who supports this.
From the handful of people who support this season the only reason they can come up with is because it suits them.
No interests in the greater good.
Roscommonâs Brian Stack about as enthusiastic about the split season as American swing state voters are about Joe Biden.

Somebody mentioned this a few months ago but got torrents of abuse for pointing it out.
I see the gpa are threatening strike action if they donât bin the January competitions which is a good thing.
Arenât the anti split session guys like yourself proposing club games alongside intercounty so same problem would occur that your blaming on split season here.
