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

Just gonna retweet this again.., change hurlers to Footballers https://t.co/MnPbqAtKSA

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

Congress' reaction today when Super 8 motion passed #GAAcongress17 pic.twitter.com/jGfBq2odFN

Super 8 is in what an absolute joke they just love listening to players #joke #listentoplayers

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that a near triumphant sprinkling of applause broke out once the motion to recognise the club players association was withdrawn.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

- Joe McMahon (@Bigjoemc) February 25, 2017

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

- Seán Gannon (@CannonGannon9) February 25, 2017

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.

- Podge Collins (@PodgeCollins) February 25, 2017

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

- Barry Cahill (@barrycahilldub) February 25, 2017

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

Con has a bit of magic! What a player! @CualaCLG

- Bernard Brogan (@bernardbrogan) February 25, 2017

Con O'Callaghan simply unmarkable with this much space #TheToughest

- Neil McManus (@Neilmcmanus88) February 25, 2017

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

My pleasure to MC @RhodeGAA dinner dance tonight but with special guests like @patjsmullen & @tomas5ky it was easy!! pic.twitter.com/ge9FBPqt2J
