Celebrations in Blackrock, Cork yesterday following Blackrock GAA Club’s victory over Glen Rovers in the Cork Hurling Final
This lunchtime.
Marty Morrissey told RTÉ’s News At One that all GAA club games at all levels have been suspended with immediate effect and until further notice.
Reading from a statement, Mr Morrissey said:
“The decision has been taken in the interest of public safety. A number of incidents have been brought to our attention in recent days, in particular, post-match celebrations and a lack of social distancing at certain events have proved disappointing and problematic.”
“This directive applies to all ages, all grades across the island. Club, social centres, bars are also to close. Training will continue to be permitted as per the guidelines, outlined for the relevant levels and the Government’s National Framework for Living With Covid-19…”
GAA suspend all club activity with immediate effect (RTÉ)
That’ll teach the gombeens
two things in this country, the GAA and the Catholic Church .. have always thought themselves to be above everything else. Even in the face of a virus, that hasn’t changed.
and the gardai
and the politicians
and the civil service
and the builders
and the banks
and the insurance industry
and the multinationals
and the farmers
and the DOCTORS
“all ages, all races”
What?
human race and aliens ?
Bog people and smog people?
It should be “all ages, all grades.” Whoever transcribed it got it wrong.
Thanks, Commenter #1, fixed now.
Sorry, Frank, fixed now.
I hope we’re not going down the same dodgy road as the Brits with their awful derogatory term ‘BAME’ to describe a large proportion of their citizens.
Words just can’t…. the idiocy is just staggering.
collective noun for these morons and any like them? A sneeze of twerps? A swab of twats? A spray of imbeciles?
A squad of selfish…?
Students?
Golf players?
A clutch of culchies?
Blackrock is in Cork City
Sorry, Newsjustin, fixed now.
it’s not in Dublin though, is it?
cian, as always, is correct
Its “the other” Blackrock.
not in the slightest bit surprised- that’s cork for you
reminds me of the way Papi and Frillz conducted themselves at the last BS session: disgraceful, demeaning and unhygienic
I thought that was the best part ;)
In my defense, I was left unsupervised.
Which will never happen again, I assure you.
I wasn’t even there Papi, and I feel sullied by the carry on
Guilty by association, Millie. Let’s just say you were the catalyst.
couple of things ive been meaning to revisit with you, papi
1. they were NOT profiteroles
2. that is NOT a normal greeting in Scandinavia
You say prophylactic, I say profiterole.
Cream-filled balls of pastry has just taken on a whole new meaning for me…
Oh please
Haven’t ye dragged me through enough muck here already as it is
C’mon lads
Gimme a break
great game, great atmosphere. congrats lads !
Isn’t is gas the amount of County Finals that went to extra time this year
Just shows how starved of hurling & football the players were
The Langers will have to wait on the biggest dingdong of the year now
Nemo v Castlehaven
But shur’ still loads to look forward to
Heard that Mayo played Donegal in Sligo at the weekend. Very stupid indeed.
The GAA getting on their high horse and ”demanding answers” of NPHET the last time seems a tad ill-judged considering the holy show ‘some’ of the hallowed GAA community have made of themselves, proving they can’t be trusted to keep it safe, which everyone saw coming, see also the photos of little or no social distancing amongst fans in attendance at some matches, it’s too big to control, too many gobpoos out there ruining it for people who tried to keep it safe.
Sure Bodger will be all for this though, right?
Chumps
The Rockies finally with a County Championship and the whole Country is talking about it
That’s the stuff GAA liginds are made of
(Rockies 4-26 Glen Rovers 4- 18 btw)
