Angry Fans

Maybe it was the soaking to the skin so many of them got on Sunday in Semple Stadium, followed by the awful hurling inflicted on that hallowed sod, or maybe it’s because of yet another dreary Leinster football tie – this time, between Wicklow and Westmeath - or Donegal’s unexpected collapse against Ulster whipping boys Antrim... but, boy, the fans are really angry with everyone this week.

RTÉ’s coverage gets lashed even more than usual for their decision to stay live with the extra time in the Leinster football game rather than go over to Thurles to catch the start of the hurling match. And talking about Thurles, neither Davy Fitz nor Just-In McCarthy escapes strong criticism from their supporters.

Angry fans raise serious, indeed hair raising, questions about crowd safety at Saturday’s Munster football replay between Cork and Kerry... and there’s lots more!
