Often criticized but you’ve got to hand it to the gaa. At times of death/tragedy I don’t think any organization comes near it in terms of support & rallying around- always look out for your club mates/friends- they’ll be the 1’s that’ll carry your coffin. 😢 🙏🏻 😢

No inter county games before October.... get a bit of cop on lads & just call inter county season full stop. IF games get back- let CLUB get back to action & forget about you’re cash cow for 1 season.

@Jamesod7 Why not have players only allowed to play in sigerson until they are out of the competition.? County managers basically sticking 2 fingers up at the competition by playing players in league games 2 days before. Where Is “player welfare” or even better common sense ???

Not necessarily just about Corofin but ANY TEAM that wants success- it has to be “Player Driven” a good manager/coach/trainer can do so much but that extra 10% that’ll make a real difference is down to the group of players themselves. Look in the mirror... R U DOING ENOUGH ???

Fair play to Dessie Farrell. Knew he needed to do something to get them over the line- went to “retired” players & got them back for 1 more go. Even went to Pat Gilroy which no matter what way you look at it it couldn’t of been easy, but he done what he had to do to win Sam
