Replying To greenfan:  "You're right to be concerned about the talent coming through... best player in the first 2 rounds of the Donegal Championship... 37 year old Michael Murphy"

Replying To Magpie2:  "I understand what you are saying seniorleague.
My point is that you have a huge amount of games scrunched into a 10 week period and then NOTHING!!
6 months of zero intercounty activity.
For many counties its even longer than that.everything is lumped into a 2 and a half month schedule. The league starts in February and ends in April. The pre season games are in January.
The games are coming thick and fast week on week and allows no recovery time for injured players to recover.
When I say no exposure I'm talking about the media such as, TV, radio, newspapers, social media.They will have nothing much to say about Gaa.
Soccer will get the lions share of coverage and
Us Gaa supporters will be twiddling our thumbs, yawning and waiting ,waiting, waiting for months on end for the season to begin.
Bottom line is space it out somewhat
Of course we have the club games and as I've said they are very important but
If we sideline the intercounty season for such a lengthy spell I'm afraid that down the road we will become the forgotten sport for 6 months of the year. Solution--- spread it out!!"
