Shane Curran blast for ‘elite’ GPA as players left ‘without voice’

Former Roscommon goalkeeper Shane Curran claims the GPA has left inter-county players “without a voice” and is compromised by GAA funding.

Curran says the official players body can’t be surprised their proposal to restructure the All-Ireland SFC was overlooked in favour of a less radical one when the organisation has sacrificed its independence.

The claim comes as Down football legend Conor Deegan revealed he’s considering setting up a specific organisation to represent the disenfranchised club player.
