Gaa split season, promoting Meath football since 2025

They’d probably 3 or 4 of the top 10 players in the country in17’

Give a week between all hurling championship matches and play the final after the football maybe

We found get rid of the chaff, Waterford, Wexford, Offaly, and just let the offer counties at it?

Give them the rest week and fewer excuses then, although as Fagan pointed, lads opting out is probably what did for them.

No senior stick hurling this weekend & not really any other sport of note bar the CL final tonight. They could finish Leinster & Munster round robins on different weekends & push the whole thing back another month or two. Squeezing a load of games into the month of May is sub-optimal when games in one province are clashing with those in the other.

Rouse on the ball.

Tony talking shit. At the epicentre of Wexford failure since forever.

The so called split season has absolutely nothing to do with the demise of Wexford and Waterford.

The lack of hole bothering around underage coaching is a bigger problem.

Wexford must have been incredibly successful prior to the split season

All Irelands every 50 years.

That’s a helluva roll you were on

Nah

And they compete to a decent level in football to boot.

Wexford footballers first time on GAA Go/+ since a Leinster championship win against Wicklow in Aughrim back in 2021 I’d wager.

Yeah you’d swear Wexford and Waterford were winning all Ireland’s to bate the band before the split season.As @Fagan_ODowd says they both need to have a good look in the mirror.

When you take petrol, tolls, 4 transatlantic flights, a hotel room and a bit of grub for a family of four you wouldnt have much change out of 3,500 dollars. It’s a lot really

Box ticking exercises. These fixtures just need to be fulfilled and got out of the way as quickly as possible. August and September is concert season in Croke Park now. Robbie Williams and Oasis, I believe it is this year.

Hard for the dairy farmers of the Finger Lakes region to get away as well.

Rouse is brilliant. The polar opposite to the self interested scutter talkers like mullane and Dempsey who just repeat pub talk without having any consideration of an alternative
