This whole goalkeeper out the field mullarkey is a cod too. I often wondered why teams don't do what Cavan did yesterday when they turnover the ball. Goalie gone walkabout, one long ball and pop it into the net. Goalies nowadays are getting above their station, stay inside the goals dummies.

Was at a club match on Friday and the goalkeeper was coming out the field just for the sake of it. It was almost as if it was just for show, as he was contributing nothing to the play and wasn't getting on the ball

It's very, very hard to get excited about this stuff. Provincials are nonsensical right now. League is a farce with teams trying not to win it. I left the Derry game with 25 mins to go a few weeks back (I never leave games early). Sure there was a "comeback" but it was quite obvious Mayo had little or no interest in reaching another league final.
They can stick their season ticket up their hole next year. It was actually cheaper to buy tickets on a game per game basis ffs!!

League of Ireland games are every week and over Easter 3 games in 7 days. Same again over may bank holiday. What’s the issue. You either like going to the games or you don’t. |
If donegal were to reach an ulster final will play games in Derry, a nutrual venue semi final which be mist likely cavan or clones and an ulster final in clones. All 3 would involve a lot of travel for supporters which is where the expense comes into play. If you take a family of 4 from bundoran heading to derry next weekend they wouldn't be long spending between 100 & 200 euro to attend that one game when include tickets, travel and food. Then they expected to spend a similar amount the next week for a semi final and sane again if lucky to get to a final. That would be an average spend of 300 - 500 euros to attend 3 games in the space of a few weeks
Even with yourself bringing the kids to a loi game every week I'd hazard a guess your not spending anything like that. I take your argument about don't just miss a game if don't want to pay but that quickly turns the game into something only the elite or minority can afford to do when the gaa, loi and all sports on the island should be doing the opposite and making sure they making the games accessible to the majority ( a hat tip to finn harps who do this very well with their initiatives in regards to kids tickets etc)

Plus missing a games puts you down the pecking order for tickets should you get to an AI final.

How does that match up with Finn harps fixture list. Surely they have bigger trips.

Plus did anyone watch the Sunday Game last night?
What a shambles.
Firstly and this always annoys the sh1te out of me they concentrate on the Cavan Monagahan game even though it was shown live and analysed to the hilt before during and after the game. How about ye show some of the games that werent televised on Rte and BBC.
Then they switch panels to the hurling. WTF
Then switch back again to the football. Who was producing that show last night. Shoddy as fook. Plus it would bore the pants off ya nowadays.

Finn harps played 3 games over the Easter period 2 at home and 1 away. I'd estimate at the away game in limerick if they had 30 fans at it (from the coverage I seen online) that was the height of it
Not sure why using finn harps as an example tbh seeing as the distance they have to travel for away games is a primary reason their away support is small in numbers due to the cost factor. But since you seen hard fast in creating an us and them argument here we will give it a go. The fixtures thus year will look as follows
Finn harps Games played: 36 games Home games: 18 games Away games: 18 games Length of season: 260 days Average cost of ticket: €14 ( terrace ticket price for finn park away games may vary)
Donegal Games played:17 games (if not in preliminary 1/4 final) Home games: 5 Away/neutral venue games: 12 Length of season: 182 days Average cost of ticket: €22.58
* cup games not included for finn harps as draw not known at this time. Mckenba cup not included for donegal as preseason tournament
As can be seen the gaa season is more expensive over a shorter period of time and tickets for later rounds of the championship is depending om attendance at the earlier games. Mog sure why it has to be an us and them argument here the cost of living crisis is affecting everyone and finn harps crowd numbers will be affected just the same as donegal gaa will be

It seems that the players don't mind it. Heard a couple of managers/players over the weekend saying that "sure we'd be training anyway. Games are preferable." If it's generally popular among players and those involved, I'd imagine it'll stick for a bit longer (unless get to the stage where attendances etc. are a disaster for finances - I see the GAA are lamenting a fall in jersey sales).

LOI attendances are up though. |
Loi games attendance is rising which is good for the domestic game but I'd like to see what the average number of away fans at games is (obviously the many dublin teams will have an impact on this).
Again I'm not totally sure what your argument is here I'm saying the condensed season will affect attendance at games which will be seen if Donegal are lucky enough to beat derry and play the semi final it will cost €36 for the cheapest tickets to the 2 games if I want to attend 2 finn harps Games in the same time period it will cost €28 so works cheaper and will still be more Donegal people attending the gaa so not sure what actual point tou trying to make if I'm been honest
Going back to the point I was making in my original point the financial demand on families who wish to attend sporting occasions at present is very high especially if involved travelling any sort of distance away. Games been spaced out more would benefit everyone in the long run as attendances would continue to increase and possibility of more kids been able to attend sporting events in person and getting hooked like the majority of us were when we attended games at a young age mo matter what sport it is

Loi games attendance is rising which is good for the domestic game but I'd like to see what the average number of away fans at games is (obviously the many dublin teams will have an impact on this).
Again I'm not totally sure what your argument is here I'm saying the condensed season will affect attendance at games which will be seen if Donegal are lucky enough to beat derry and play the semi final it will cost €36 for the cheapest tickets to the 2 games if I want to attend 2 finn harps Games in the same time period it will cost €28 so works cheaper and will still be more Donegal people attending the gaa so not sure what actual point tou trying to make if I'm been honest
Going back to the point I was making in my original point the financial demand on families who wish to attend sporting occasions at present is very high especially if involved travelling any sort of distance away. Games been spaced out more would benefit everyone in the long run as attendances would continue to increase and possibility of more kids been able to attend sporting events in person and getting hooked like the majority of us were when we attended games at a young age mo matter what sport it is

your original point was clear as day. Not sure what LOI has to do with it.
