Replying To TheUsername: "Bigger picture is the GAA, arent to bothered about counties training in my opinion, yeah they will stick to government advice and be seen to prioritise the club game. But the initial bit about guidelines, Counties were always going to train. Secondly now, leaving it up to clubs to report their county boards - in reality that is never going to happen when said club will be looking to their county boards for funds, grants, tickets etc, etc. Every county will be training in my opinion in some form or another and will be managing their players club loads, id be surprised if they weren't." And the sanctions are on the management not the players. arock (Dublin) - Posts: 4893 - 09/07/2020 16:12:11 2283592 Link
Replying To arock: "I wouldn't be too sure about clubs not reporting Inter-County training in Dublin, we are not talking about an ad hoc group of lads meeting up or going for a run. We are talking about organised training sessions - they won't happen for lots of reasons not least you won't be playing for your club and you are unisured." Disagree to be honest.

They weren't training, in the same way managers aren't being paid, in the same way those holidays were historical trips, etc, etc. StoreysTash (Wexford) - Posts: 1729 - 09/07/2020 21:20:54 2283615 Link
If county managers get there players for one training session per week. I think everybody would be happy. If players want to train a night a week with there county let them there amateur players and nobody owns them . Don't treat them like children. If they train two nights a week with there club I'm sure club managers would be happy too. rorysboys (Donegal) - Posts: 2388 - 09/07/2020 21:43:08 2283620 Link
This is the biggest storm in a tea cup. Why not stop inter-county football all together? Jesus. I bet you the lads want to train with the county themselves as they know it would be a level above what they do with club and these guys are competitive. The pundits and officals mouthing about county teams training will be the very ones who will hop off teams and players in the national media in a few months if they do not put in a performance.

Surely there is a middle ground here, as other posters have suggested the county manager could have one session per week. Banning county teams from training is nonesense. The county manager should name the day he wants to train and let the clubs know. Green_Gold (Donegal) - Posts: 1873 - 10/07/2020 09:58:58 2283651 Link
Replying To Advancedmark: "Disagree to be honest." I spotted this post a few days back and it raised red flags for me but I said I'd let it go at the time but anyway here we have "advancedmark" answering dublin poster arock who was in conversation with username, and who else uses the word honest in their posts about 80% of the time? Read it for yer selves. KingdomBoy1 (Kerry) - Posts: 14092 - 23/07/2020 07:22:00 2284944 Link

To be completely honest I think the phrase, 'to be honest' is relatively common and to be frank and honest I'd disagree with you there, just being honest. Honestly examining a posters words and phrases is a little weird, to be honest. Again if I'm honest, and to be honest with you I disagree.

Any truth in the Rumours that Royaldunne has a few Westmeath, Offaly and Kildare tops? Ollie2 (Louth) - Posts: 781 - 23/07/2020 11:11:51 2284968 Link

However as my honesty is honestly being called in the question, ill be honest and agree with your frank and honest assessment, its funny but honestly weird. Ive squeezed the pips at bit much here i honestly think. Apologies. Best wishes, Advansedmark (honestly) TheUsername (Dublin) - Posts: 4443 - 23/07/2020 11:33:18 2284971 Link

I honestly think he's been caught rotten again mes and not for the first time. Advancedmark just answered a post that was directed to username and again not for the first time. I honestly think these posters with multiple accounts need to be banned from the forum. KingdomBoy1 (Kerry) - Posts: 14092 - 23/07/2020 13:32:41 2284995 Link

Sure we can all post our personal details here, Name, age, Eircode, Facebook page, e-mail address. Save admin the time and expense of taking details looking for IP addresses that are moveable. GreenandRed (Mayo) - Posts: 7324 - 23/07/2020 14:29:13 2285011 Link

I'd expect most counties will try and prepare their teams as best possible without crossing the line. I know a fairly obvious statement. It's a thin line though. Counties reacting to rumours of others' activity etc. Particularly from April to June. CC2020 (Kilkenny) - Posts: 173 - 23/07/2020 20:21:56 2285058 Link
