It's interesting to hear so many journos asking for var now but weren't interested in the galway complaints against Dublin. Dara ose the only journo calling out the double standards. It's amazing how some counties can influence changes in GAA

I think var will be a catastrophe tbh. Its bad enough in soccer but gaelic football is a full contact sport and almost every goal will have some sort of foul or debatable foul commited in the build up to it.

Unless itll just be used to check for square balls?

Looks like the Irish GAA journalists read the forum as they are only reporting about the AFL Dublin story now.

What I don't understand is the lack of airtime they are giving to the afl plans ? Is it a plan of say nothing and hope if fails ? The Aussies aren't hiding their plans for a Aussies rules international game with Ireland in the long-term. Its all online so the gaa journalists can't control what people know and the professional route the Australians are planning for Ireland.
