This has taken an odd turn.

Pablo - still plenty of room for your views here.

Jim - I used an analogy and maybe I have made the same mistake as I think you are making. I think your speeding analogy is dangerous. It’s not the same as my crash landing scenario. My scenario shows that one person can’t do their own thing when others don’t want to take the same risk. Your speeding analogy includes the line “if I choose to drive at 200 mph then I deal with the consequences”. My concern is (whether intentionally or not) that reads as we each decide our own level of risk appetite. With Covid it isn’t feasible to let people decide their own risk appetite. I’d go further and say it isn’t possible for people to assess what the risk actually is.

And for speeding we have rules. The rules are not just speed limits. You can be prosecuted because of your speed whilst driving well within the speed limit. People need to be sensible. The less we can rely on people being sensible the more specific the rules need to be

Just got a phone call from the hotel I booked in Ennis for the 24th to say it is closing for 3 weeks. Not great. Doubt fans will be allowed anyway now

At this point, I'm dropping out of further discussions on the topic in it's entirety. I've inadvertently created a situation with someone I'd never have intended to insult or provoke and have no wish to add anything further.

League set to go ahead, surely supporters won't be allowed in given the restrictions in South in place. Just generally curious has anybody heard anything?

Roscommon game set to be on tv anyway so we won't miss anything. If the Clare game isn't on tv it'll be on GAAGO for €5 so sorted there too. Heck of a lot cheaper than travelling.

In these strange times and given that we have two different jurisdictions nothing should surprise us

But I agree with you and as much as we all want to be there the GAA should insist on a uniform policy
