Either way fûcking stupidity, innisfails is right adjacent to one of the busier cemetery’s on the northside so there are always people in the vicinity...

Can’t be done on the hush hush..

Article says that there was also a coach present, and another lad posted at the entrance to the club premises keeping watch. Can't exactly paint that as "a few lads meeting up"

Do us a favour and clarify if you mean the team or Dublin people in general. Thanks.

It all depends was it a rogue coach / players or was it a county ordered session.

either way its breach of the rules. Shouldn't be happening.

Have you been as vociferous in your criticism of Cork, or Down ? I’m willing to bet not, which indicates a lazy anti Dublin bias and obsession as opposed to a genuine concern for people’s health and wellbeing and the adherence to regulations.

With a coach present and someone to block outsiders, the picture is very damning. Some leadership needs to be shown now by the management and the county board and own up to what has gone on.

It's pretty incredible stuff. That Dublin team were widely admired, but that public respect is seriously tarnished now. Even if there's some kind of apology it'd only be because they were caught, they knew the rules and opted to train anyway, any apology would be very hollow. It's a shame really.

Cork and down weren’t breaking the law at the time... so jog on with your whataboutery

Sunny Disposition

I'm a huge GAA fan, but I'm getting sick of intercounty and the attitude to regulations.

The club month came in a couple of years ago, a number of counties broke that. Counties (and clubs tbf) all over the country paying managers and coaches. The fiasco with the Clare supporter's club. Three intercounty teams including the All Ireland champions thinking it was okay to break Covid regulations.

I'm thinking that when so many other regulations were ignored an attitude set in that even breaching the Covid regulations was no problem at all. But it is appalling.

They were wrong, I've already said it on the GAA page, but I also think the guidelines surrounding sport are also wrong.

LOI clubs can train no problem.
GAA clubs can't.

Only GAA players can catch the virus is the message I read from that.

The LOI players can train and play because it is their job, the GAA is an amateur sport.

Go to the Dublin gaa thread in GAA forum
Almost no condemnation of it, just minimising , whataboutery and having a laugh about it

It is serious and the people involved need to be dealt with
Stand by what I said, the dubs who are defending it are showing their true character

Thats fine, but don't make sweeping generalizations, every team in every sport has die hards that believe their club does no wrong, but not all fans are the same.

Wrong! most people there condemn it and say they will face the consequences (pay their fine and get the suspension) of their actions and that will be the end of it, not a big story in the whole scheme of things currently going on

but the hysterical "why wont you think of the children" type people, like yourself keep going on and on making it out that Dublin GAA are now responsible for killing peoples Grannies

You were the taking credit for the Gardai opening an investigation, sad really

A serious amount of pearl clutching going on in this thread. Burn them at the stake those pesky Dubs, this is ten times worse than our leaders meeting for a golf shindig. I for one am sick to my teeth of the lockdowns and hope that more and more people are brave enough to say enough is enough open the country back up.

GAA HQ had issued renewed guidelines not two days ago.

https://twitter.com/officialgaa/status/1376964571605401616

https://www.gaa.ie/news/covid-19-latest-update/

These are hugely welcome developments and allow us finally to begin planning on-field activity for the remainder of 2021. However, it should also be noted that these dates are conditional and will very much depend on what happens in terms of the overall COVID-19 picture in the coming weeks. For that reason, it is more important than ever that no collective training sessions are held between now and the Government indicated return dates. Breaches in this context will not only be dealt with under our own Rules but would likely put the broader plan to return to activity in serious jeopardy.

Dub county board trying to be cute just banning manager for 3 months- trying to anchor expectations of ban from gaa at that

Not good enough- all players involved need to be banned as well and needs to be longer- GAA was still classed as an elite sport when cork/down incidents happened so sun ban should be harsher

The fact they did it 2 days after that statement from GAA also

GAA need to send a message here but going on their form I’d expect a 12 week ban reduced to 1 on appeal

They'd be mad to appeal. Take the twelve week ban and be back for NFL final.

Let's be clear. Dublin is 1 county. The four entities are Dublin County Councils.

Just a question. If GAA is amateur then are the players expected to be GAA players 100% of the time; even off-season? No-one can condon what they did but also no-one can be sure this was a Dublin GAA session.

If it is some sort of a joke by the Dublin GAA or Dublin media then:

1. It is in remarkably bad taste
2. Joking about the Dublin team breaking the rules to agitate the bon Dublin fans will only backfire as it highlights the sense of entitlement that Dublin have.
3. It puts the financial and population doping that Dublin have back into the public awareness and can only lead to renewed calls for the Dublin team to be split into the 4 counties that now make up the Dublin region everywhere else bar in the GAA.

Never heard that term before, funny that was never mentioned when they won one all Ireland throughout the 90s and noughties, in fact I can remember being ridiculed by opposition fans for underperforming given the population, it was a stick that was used for many years. Its a real give me my ball back I'm not playing anymore because youre winning now attitude, as a long-time Dublin fan its wonderful to see after all those Barren years.

This news may also taint last seasons win now.

Now that we know that Dublin have broke the rules and cheated by organising a training session this year ahead of the sanctioned date for teams to return training collectively, it is only logical to now ask;

Did they do likewise in 2020?

Love they way dubs are trying to rationalise it by saying all teams are at it
Have it on very good authority that Kerry are not engaging in similar behaviour - and I’d say there’s plenty of other teams that have enough cop on and respect for the sacrifices others are making to realise that not training collectively is the right call

They were wrong, they will be punished and we will all move on. All its doing is highlighting the bitterness that is felt toward the greatest GAA team this country has ever seen. I guess it comes success but I sure do love those salty tears.

listening to it all day on the radio and 'lapse of judgement' notions being put out, I agree that it was a quick sacrifice just to appease people but I wouldn't be at all surprised if this was going on on a more regular basis and like this one, in more smaller groupings, hence why the Dublin board were so quick in judgement. There was surely no investigation into that only a swift ban, maybe they already knew ?.

Two days ago the gaa provided much needed clarity and said that inter county training could finally return on April 19th. Then Dublin said **** that, those rules don't apply to us. Thats what it looks like on the surface, its hard to explain it away as just a kick about

What a cynical move by the Dublin County Board. The action they have taken does nothing to affect the team for upcoming matches. Suspending the manager means absolutely nothing, (unless they confiscate his phone). Suspending the players involved would have had an a major implication for the team, but they were hardly going to do that.
The action taken by the County Board is the equivalent of giving the two fingers to the rest of us.
