McGee blasts GAA's hooter climbdown

Eugene McGee has claimed that the timing of matches brings Gaelic games into disrepute and slammed Central Council’s proposal to abandon the clock/hooter system at Congress tomorrow.

The motion requires two-thirds of delegates to pass. Otherwise, the clock/hooter will be used for this year’s championships, unless Central Council delay it once more.

McGee chaired the Football Review Committee whose clock/hooter recommendation was passed in 2013, and says a number of the reservations about the system are “childish”.
