Retiring Tipperary GAA secretary Tim Floyd has hit out at the television pundits and sports journalists who have been critical of the split season and the July conclusion to the All-Ireland series.

In his final secretary’s report to county convention, Floyd said he finds it galling when pundits and journalists attack the new GAA calendar and claim it is giving away the two “best promotion months” of the year, August and September.
