Angry Fans

We could’ve filled this week’s forum with only two topics. That historic Tipp win at the Ceaucescu-era sporting edifice on the banks of the Lee marred by poor control. Or the departure of Justin McCarthy as Manager of The Waterford senior hurlers. Mostly, the fans are angry at the players who pushed him and how he was treated at the end.

And they’re not pleased with what happened at the Blackrock End of Páirc Uí Chaoimh on Sunday. The Munster Council, too, gets lashed for fixing Clarev Limerick for Thurles rather than the Ennis Road and there’s controversy over the Anthem and the tradition of a minute’s silence before games.

DISGRACEFUL SCENES in Cork on Sunday. For Cork GAA not to be able to regulate supporters’ movements makes a mockery of us all. As it was, players had to make do with supporters encroaching around the goals, something they should not have to put up with at this level of the game. - suit up
