No its only a very small few.. Galway won one game to get here! As stated its not supported by the Gaa. Honestly its a bit of a mickey mouse thing at the moment but i think its something the GAA should look at supporting. Galway going for 3 in a row and have probably played 6 games in total in those three years!! Out of Galways panel i dont think any of them played inter county.There are a few local lads from North Galway playing and some of them didnt play senior club football!!

Ah give them a break bleclare, they are 40+ and still mad for the game. Fair play to them. Interestingly, the reason those guys are playing today is probably down to the fact that they didn't play senior intercounty. TheMaster (Mayo) - Posts: 16187 - 30/10/2014 12:17:35 1668291 Link 0 |

I accuse the GAA of ageism, discrimination and xenophobia... over 40's are people too. HenryHill16 (Dublin) - Posts: 249 - 30/10/2014 13:43:37 1668339 Link 0 |
The GAA preaches community for all but if your over 40, then your not allowed play. Insurance would probably cost more. Did anyone over 40 ever play in an intercounty championship game? yew_tree (Mayo) - Posts: 11219 - 30/10/2014 13:47:42 1668344 Link 0 |

Billy Fitzpatrick as selector put himself on mayo team back in 1985. must have been close to 40 then Miler (Mayo) - Posts: 1015 - 30/10/2014 13:57:11 1668350 Link 0 |
Miler - I was thinking that myself. yew_tree (Mayo) - Posts: 11219 - 30/10/2014 14:03:45 1668356 Link 0 |
I remember that Miller and Yewtree. I am fairly sure that Fitzpatrick was 40 at the time. I think he kicked a great point too as part of Mayo's comeback in the drawn game. Gaillimh_Abu (Galway) - Posts: 996 - 30/10/2014 15:23:42 1668393 Link 0 |
