The ‘Green Monster’s’ appetite has yet to be sated

Pet Peeve Corner: the GAA and statistics.

It’s an oxymoron. The GAA — as in Official GAAdom, as in Croke Park GAAdom — don’t do statistics. Never have. Understandable back in the day, when the newspapers did the work for them, or more recently when the likes of Leo McGough spent long unpaid hours in the reading room of the National Library going through old match reports and filling in the crevices. Not understandable in this day and not acceptable.
