Emotions ran high on social media over the weekend following events at the GAA's Annual Congress...
Excuse my grammar,form not great after yesterday's defeat folks. Positives-nobody died, it's just a game.

Negatives- football died #congress https://t.co/wWZtGv9m9a
League Sunday could take a leaf out of tg4's book. Could be such a good show with any proper effort given amount of games

Some of the black cards handed out this weekend are absolutely ridiculous, no common sense or consistency with decisions.

Guess who's back?

At 42 years young one Ciarán McDonald is out of retirement. He just came on as a sub for Crossmolina #mayogaa pic.twitter.com/xLkldPr2BO

Some dung coming out of the mouths of former successful county footballers ! They would have loved the super eights ! And club could wait !

Surely a chronic imbalance in July/Aug 2018 . 19 football games 5 hurling . How are we going to show off our sport fairly .might call it GFA

Was going to hold my tongue but this beats all!! Give the GPA a new deal and create more games to pay for it, clubs worse off now than ever https://t.co/eGn6uKdGgd

Tipperary's withdrawal of the CPA recognition motion greeted by "loud applause" from Congress delegates
- Joe Brolly (@JoeBrolly1993) February 25, 2017
Interesting that a near triumphant sprinkling of applause broke out once the motion to recognise the club players association was withdrawn.

I fear massively for our Game after today..Both Club and Intercounty. #NoVoice #GAA

#Congress2017 "LOUD NOISES"
- Aidan O'Shea (@AIDOXI) February 25, 2017
Congress & it's delegates are detached from reality. They're being conned by the commercial arm that now runs the GAA. So sad. #elitism
- Michael Duignan (@DuignanMichael) February 25, 2017
Can't help but think there decision is based on financial motivations #baffling #clubplayersdontmatter
- Wayne McNamara (@waggymc) February 25, 2017
Absolute joke about super8, all down to money and the GAAs greed. Money rules a voluntary organiation #GAAcongress17 #gaa
- Ian Ryan (@ianryano89) February 25, 2017
Can't be bothered following Congress updates after super 8 is passed. 2021 before club players can get a fair deal, depressing thought.
- Philip Jordan (@PhilipJordan7) February 25, 2017
RIP club football #congress

And if the players decide to down tools? #GAACongress17 #Super8

The level of disrespect shown to both club and county GAA players today is staggering. #Congress2017
- Eamon Mc Gee (@EamonMcGee) February 25, 2017
Players club & county don't agree but who gives a fuck about them. It generates more & who cares about developing weaker counties.

New football structure comfortably passed (76%). Some potential great match-ups around the country in the next 3 years! #GAACongress2017

I love Playing Gaelic Football, love watching Hurling.. But I hate the GAA..

Blown away by that display and the response and messages. Incredibly proud of our group, management and players. They are a special bunch.
