Yeah suppose I just don't like to see this attitude at grass roots level - bad enough thats how the Organisation is seen to be ran.

Anyone hear how this went?

The Newstalk soccer heads were whinging about some other motion about opening grounds, but didn't catch what that was about. Then to prove their dedication to Irish soccer they returned to discussing some English player's knee injury :-)

What was the motion about grounds? Limerick soccer team was mentioned on Newstalk but I hardly imagine they would have any use for the Gaelic Grounds!

Actually sorry, it was the opening up of grounds to other sports that was defeated!

Interesting. So that's the end of the World Cup rugby I take it.

Not necessarily, apparently they previously agreed to a temporary opening in such cases, I think. I stand to be corrected here!

No the executive hold the right to decide on the rwc.
And as already has been mentioned it was already agreed that theyd be opened up

Silly proposal.

Can you imagine the wailing & gnashing of teeth when some poor referee, who has more than enough to do as it is, gets one of these calls wrong?

Leave well enough alone.
