National Gaelic Football League 2018

That’s a fucking joke about Monaghan-Kerry.

They announced about 9 it was on.

Absolute shower of incompetent idiots

I do not remember games being called off this willy nilly in the past.

Do others?

The GAA can’t control the weather as far as I am aware .

With the exception of Croke Park, GAA pitches can’t really take any sort of rainfall.

Two fingers to @carryharry there from derrick lynch.

Are you for real. They knew this was coming with a week.

It’s mind boggling dumb.

Make a decision and go with it.

These pitches in worse nick were playable in worse conditions years and go from my memory.

It’s and go complete insult to people travelling and god the players. It’s farcical

That’s incredibly false.

You have no idea

What bog ball game is being shown live today?

Ya true very few people are inconvenienced by these cancelations anyway. The type of lad that travels from kerry to Monaghan in February for a league game probably hasn’t much going on upstairs anyway.

Actually quite a few are.

But firstly the players.

And plenty pitches can take lots of rain

Is Longford Armagh on?

I think he is for real in his assertion that the GAA can’t control the weather.

You’re suggesting that the match should have been called off a week ago?

You now appear to be suggesting that players should be made play in dangerous conditions.

Now that’s mind boggingly dumb.

It’s incredibly true.

GAA pitches by and large and very poor when it comes to drainage. The North gets a lot of rain and very few of the pitches are capable of taking it. Matches in Brewster Park and Healy Park (in particular) are in grave danger any time you get sustained moderate rain.

You seem to be very ignorant on GAA matters so probably best you keep your incorrect views to yourself.

Fella there is 4 pitches within 10 miles of me that are unbelievably good at it.
Nemo
Clough Duv
Eire Og
Blarney.

All have top notch drainage systems that allow games be played.

It’s a farce this is happening. Club games going on everywhere

All the money Tyrone have spent and they did not sort the pitch? For real?

They are not dangerous. Don’t be a complete fanny.

Calls could have comfortably been made yesterday.

And once you say go ahead today at 9am there should no no turning back.

As far as I am aware there is little to no difference in rainfall between north and Republic of ireland

Pretty sure the rainfall is similar everywhere or close enough to have similar decisions to make.

You fucking stupid cunt

Pretty sure or just guessing? You’re an awful fucking ape.

You’ve backed a few teams this weekend, obviously pissing & moaning as games are called off. :rollseyes:

Most county grounds, as witnessed this weekend, have substandard drainage issues.

Games are off in Cavan, Derry and Monaghan this weekend. Only Armagh have a home game going ahead in Ulster this weekend.

GAA pitches cannot handle this type of weather.

Some or worse than others but the rainfall over the weekend would not have been handled by GAA pitches which are third world in their drainage systems.

Roscommon recently had the GAA fund a new pitch at Hyde Park for them.

Am I don’t think I have any game affected you fuck wit.

I work with a few players and the messing and bollixing around they are experiencing is off the charts.

Apparently Monaghan could have moved game to another pitch but decided not to. They have previous of doing the right thing though when they moved a game to a club ground for Cork a few years ago as they were up and had travelled.

The Cavan game was on and off 4 times.

It’s just stupid. If pitch is not able for ut you know that in advance.
