To go or not too that's the big question... I heard yesterday that if fans attend that the referee can walk off the field and that the club's will be fined 10 thousand.. I don't know how true that'll be

I can't understand the GAA stance on not opening changing rooms.
The weather is changeable at present and how are players of all codes supposed to change their Jersey etc in the car park?
So we can sit in a pub for nearly 2hrs but not a changing room for 15mins?

A longing for the 'good old days'?

Unsurprisingly all our friendly politicians have been exceptionally quiet this week in publicly supporting the push for spectators at games this weekend.
We can put 50 people inside churches, we can go to pubs, shopping centres etc but we can't stand outside and watch sport.
The irony of 30 players inside a pitch playing contact sport whilst no one is allowed to pay in and watch at a distance isn't lost on me
I certainly hope that if any clubs allow spectators in that they don't charge

The rules are in place. Clubs should not be allowing patrons to enter, paying or not.

Stay at home, and don’t give officials/stewards at the ground any additional stress/workload.

This morning the NI Executive confirmed that parents transporting players to games (up to u18) are "assisting in the staging of the game" and therefore can be admitted to the ground

F*ckin horseshit and a play on words from that useless shower of stnuc on the hill. Who do they think they are kidding?

These are leagues games. I think best we keep to the rules to prove we can be responsible as spectators

also as mentioned above not too put club members in ackward position to tell people to go home

watched Armaghtvv tonight and was great coverage as usual and exciting to the end. Not my own club involved but appreciate effort and will watch again on Sunday

Probably gave them garda suits to watch the game just. There will be people at all the games, impossible to police it.

What happens if a player tests positive in Armagh? See Eglish in Tyrone have a player tested positive. There’s no relegation in Tyrone so no issue for them missing games if they have to suspend games

I don't think there's much can be done. If I remember right, the directive statement from Croke Park was that "no club would be penalised for not participating". Now I know that was aimed at clubs not fielding at all, but surely you can't punish a team for following social distancing rules if a player tests positive, when another team doesn't get punished for not fielding at all! Mind you it could create bad feelings if that team didn't fulfil all fixtures when everyone else did and it maybe hurt the team/s they didn't field against. A damn tricky one, especially as there's not much time for refixtures.
