Money spinner for the GAA…hope they make a killing. Tickets more expensive for a friendly game than an all Ireland final….more fool them paying that watching millionaires in a glorified training session.

Madness. August should be semi finals month but Croke Park has this rubbish. Playing on a pitch the size of a child's playpen. Don't ever want to hear any real GAA supporters complaining about a poor GAA game. Two junior club teams would put on a better show.

Mayo won this year's All Ireland after 3/4 of a century and every Mayo supporter respected the rule of not going onto the pitch. Soccer enters town and it's open house. Disgusting.

Junior Fs up to Senior As. Thousands of players playing club championship matches this month on quality pitches in brilliant weather. From a club player's point of view I love it.
