‘Bust-up was blown completely out of proportion by the press’

PREDICTABLY, GAA fans weren’t applauding the Competitions Control Committee (CCC) decision yesterday on internet message boards.

JBM1 on rebelgaa.com said: “Well GAA headquarters have really surpassed themselves this time.....What a complete and utter shambles!

“Here we are not knowing five days before championship who is or who is not playing...How can any team prepare like this?....Clare don’t give two hoots about the episode — they’ll all be back for the back door games anyway.”
