The granny rule is used a lot for players to play for Ireland and look at the squad there is lot of players born outside Ireland that used the granny rule . I will state again they might not be times added to fixtures at times of master planner and the gaa are correct not to roll over for a foreign sport to decide times of games .

I wouldn't consider it rolling over to another sport. The EUROs is a competitor to the GAA, I think it is wise of the GAA to be aware of what a competitor is doing and to make plans around that so as to best suit us. It would've suited us more if we'd fixed the game for a different time. We'd have had a better turnout for our games. Surely that's the most important thing. Laois and Armagh both requested a change of time but it was denied and attendances unsurprisingly suffered. Whammo86 (Antrim) - Posts: 4248 - 21/06/2016 17:19:01 1870370 Link 0 |
Changing throw in times isn't about bowing to soccer or whatever. MesAmis (Dublin) - Posts: 13729 - 21/06/2016 17:32:35 1870382 Link 0 |
I've a feeling the Laois fans might just boycott this rematch also. Whammo86 (Antrim) - Posts: 4248 - 21/06/2016 21:29:25 1870485 Link 0 |
If we were on boycott could you really blame us though? Game scheduled at the exact same time as probably Irelands biggest game in 14 years. Wouldnt happen if Dublin were playing! janesboro (Limerick) - Posts: 1502 - 22/06/2016 22:59:44 1870956 Link 0 |
