Absolute disgrace that they had to do this ! The GAA should have made it clear during the week that Tyrones game with Kerry would be put back until everyone in the Tyrone set up was good to go, what harm was another week or two going to do ? After all we live in unprecedented times and they call for unprecedented measures ! DUBJOHN (Dublin) - Posts: 932 - 14/08/2021 13:34:40 2370697 Link 8 |
There really are no winners here. No party benefits from what has happened. slayer (Limerick) - Posts: 6480 - 14/08/2021 14:06:01 2370719 Link 1 |

It's unfortunate and agree there are no winners here. Tyrone are the big losers but so are Kerry. However pushing it back further and in turn the final back sets a precedent. What happens if there is another outbreak on the Mayo or a Dublin camps...do we keep pushing back the final? yew_tree (Mayo) - Posts: 11219 - 14/08/2021 14:17:08 2370729 Link 5 |
No sympathy for Tyrone, they obviously were not following COVID guidelines. There not be another delay. Ronan1989 (Donegal) - Posts: 81 - 14/08/2021 14:19:56 2370731 Link 1 |
Apparently Kerry would not agree to the 2 weeks so the gaa left it at the week. Tyrone were never going to be ready in that time so I think they did the right thing superdub (Dublin) - Posts: 392 - 14/08/2021 14:23:15 2370734 Link 2 |
Well club players aren't immune from picking up the virus either. So everything is set in stone until it's not set in stone. AfricanGael (UK) - Posts: 1947 - 14/08/2021 14:38:15 2370748 Link 0 |
Croke Park need to step up and accommodate Tyrone at all costs. We are an "amateur" organisation and need to go back to basics. thegadfly (Cavan) - Posts: 290 - 14/08/2021 14:39:06 2370750 Link 2 |
Could have been a possibility if Monaghan started training as soon as they heard of the outbreak, but now they wouldn't have enough time to prepare either

Is that true?

That's a massive assumption and you obviously don't understand how virulent this virus is.

And you know this how? By all accounts they were following the rules strictly.

Surely there are enough men in Tyrone's huge panel to at least fulfill the fixture? Great experience for some of their fringe players? ardmhacha (Armagh) - Posts: 172 - 14/08/2021 14:55:41 2370766 Link 3 |
Monaghan may end up benefitting

the gaa tried to force tyrones hand by putting tickets out for sale, guess it has backfired on them and looks like ticket sales usurped players welfare, lets hope the gaa now step up and offer the best medical experts available for any player country wide who has tested positive and may require long term rehab

Big issue with vaccine hesitancy in the north in the under 30's. P.Mckenna (Louth) - Posts: 105 - 14/08/2021 15:05:32 2370771 Link 1 |
I see the logic, but it still isn't right. COVID presents exceptional circumstances, so Tyrone should be given time to have a full panel available. Anything else means the integrity of the All Ireland series is fundamentally compromised. Knoxboya (Monaghan) - Posts: 355 - 14/08/2021 15:06:30 2370772 Link 4 |
What a really silly post. Your own county has continually been top of the Covud lists so people in glass houses. Should we have just put an electronic fence around Donegal during the pandemic?
