McGill plans cautious approach

GAA director of games administration and player welfare Feargal McGill says any proposal to restructure the All-Ireland senior football championship must first consider the impact on the entire association.

The GPA will shortly begin a process to determine an alternative system before submitting it to Eugene McGee’s football review committee. Although the former Offaly manager’s brief was understood to be confined to playing rules, it has now been extended to new SFC format ideas.

The official players’ body are putting together a group of current and former inter-county footballers who will ask the GPA membership to vote on three proposals.
