Ah Royaldunne that's one wee blow beneath the belt haha. I was watching Scannal on TG4 on Wednesday night and it was about the Leinster final in 2010. I still can't believe what happened on that faithful day. As former Louth player Aaaron Hoey who came on as a sub day summed up his Louth career. What was in his highlight? Leinster Final 2010. What was his lowlight? Leinster Final 2010.

Presentations in Croke Park are soleless crap now. The difference in the GAA compared to other sports is supposed to be its close it is to the community and in recent years the people are banned from sharing in the players success. Instead of Croke Park staff concentrating is stopping people coming on the pitch they should be trained to safely manage crowds coming on the pitch and safely leaving the pitch afterwards. bdbuddah (Meath) - Posts: 1298 - 29/07/2017 11:34:14 2025281 Link 0 |

Alan Milton Croke Park communications director,former tabloid journalist, now directing watering operations from inside the pavillion, said on TV the other day that the reason for banning pitch invasions was that people had gotten injured. That was the first that I had ever heard of that being the reason (or excuse) for the ban rather than a supposed Heatth and Safety issue. lilywhite1 (Kildare) - Posts: 2984 - 29/07/2017 13:13:20 2025315 Link 0 |
it's great to see the masses of kids out hurling on the pitches at half time in thurles, tullymore etc bulmccabe (Tyrone) - Posts: 361 - 29/07/2017 14:07:16 2025327 Link 0 |
People wouldn't get injured in a pitch invasion if there wasn't a load of stewards and barriers in the way. tirawleybaron (Mayo) - Posts: 1091 - 29/07/2017 14:26:04 2025333 Link 0 |
I heard there were legal cases taken against croke park by people who had gone onto the pitches. In Carlow recently we had a hundred kids from carlow and Monaghan on the pitch at half time and it was great. But once there's a legal case then all bets are off. carlovia (None) - Posts: 1517 - 29/07/2017 14:56:38 2025348 Link 0 |
Correct tirawleybaron. Watched the documentary about the infamous 2010 Leinster final on TG4 during the week. It showed footage of Louth when the won the All-Ireland final in 1957. There were two groups of supporters sitting on the Hogan Stand roof! Health and Safety officials would have coronories watching that. I think the whole Health and Safety issue has gone from one extreme to the other. It's a whole industry now, and a very profitable one at that. It's unlikely that we will see any common sense like some compromise over the flags issue. The word that the English invented for petty, pass the buck bureaucracy; Jobsworths, comes to mind. lilywhite1 (Kildare) - Posts: 2984 - 29/07/2017 16:25:48 2025380 Link 0 |
So true Carlovia.

Plenty of firemen on duty for the hundreds of "fire hazards" on display I hope and paramedics for all the "health and safety" problems that will arise from those pesky, dangerous flags.
