alanmisty, unfortunately your words are true and when I read about the tale of the microphone on the paper, I felt embarrassed for our county. As a county, we portray ourselves in a bad light, I'm not even sure that it is always down to money. Look at our county ground as an example, it is hard to believe that a county of our size after going through an economic boom, could have a grounds that would be out of place in the 1980's never mind 2013 while counties such as Longford, Carlow and Leitrim to name a few can have modern stadiums (fair play to them, they have some vision and ambition) while we continue to have no stand 'there are club grounds in the county that are more comfortable than our county grounds. You would think that someone in authority would say enough is enough and we need to start operating in a professional manner but just when you think it can't go on like this ... it does.

I watched a game from Croke Park this year where Hawk Eye did not work. I felt so embarrassed ...........................Seems things can go wrong in big venues and small. Must be a GAA thing
