Niall Morgan: Players were ignored on changes to 2018 GAA calendar

Tyrone goalkeeper Niall Morgan believes players’ views weren’t sufficiently considered in the shaping of next year’s GAA calendar.

Morgan is alarmed at the prospect that the county’s inter-county footballers won’t be able to line out for their clubs in league games because of the condensed season.

“To me, I probably shouldn’t be saying this, but it’s not the people making the decisions that should be (making them),” said Morgan, Ireland’s International Rules goalkeeper. “The players are always asked but their comments don’t really seem to be taken into consideration because no matter what happens, the players are always complaining about it. It just seems that the men in Croke Park make the decisions whether you like it or not.
