Where is training taking place?? However if teams think they will be playing championship (which they won't) on April 3 , I'm sure they will not wait until week of game to go back training. So maybe April club like Galway should be pulled. Teams will still train,officially or not,my club are still training,or so one of the players told me.Its like all those idiots still going to pubs and nightclubs Clubs in Kerry are collectively training,?? I find it hard to believe. Mayb I'm naive. Again like I said of co bord lead and say April championship is gone it will take away the need for underground training. Personally I don't think there will be any ball this year or at least until Autumn at least.

Hard to correlate between people out socialising in compact enclosures while frontline medics (with families at home) are dealing with infected people in hospitals 7-14 days later! Would people not just stay the * in for a while while the authorities deal with this? Disturbing images from last night on social media. Not much different to the Fools & Horses in Cheltenham during the week. Show some respect for frontline people.

Stupid if clubs continue to train collectively.The GAA has even suspended the Player Insurance scheme until further notice.Id imagine if and when things get back up and running a lead in time for training will be afforded to everyone.Therell be plenty football when all this is over!!

Don't consider others.

I'd imagine that club and county players are training away on their own. County players will certainly be following a plan as will many club players. Hard to see how clubs could go with group sessions. It would be madness and players wouldn't attend anyway.
Aside from all of this it's really hard to see any football or hurling being played for months ahead if at all this year. Experts with experience in other similar outbreaks in the past are predicting that this will linger on well into Autumn and Winter. Cheery thought that. 2020 could well be a total write off

The 1920 final was eventually played on June 11, 1922!!!!! But it was played is the main message.

Got to keep people safe especially those who have given their life working and deserve to enjoy retirement, not to be wiped out by this virus . Football can reset next year.

There will have to be some return to GAA and other sports this year. We can’t stay in our homes for ever. The potential Virus risks will have to be weighed against the potential risks to our mental health and wellbeing.

The leagues will not be completed this year, so there won’t be any promotion or relegation. I would be thinking and the same league will apply next year and start again?

What do people think are the best and worst case scenarios when it comes to coronavirus and the GAA season (earliest and latest possible dates of resumption)?

Can't see anything happening this year, 21 new cases in China today, their curve could rise, and travel again. It's not over till it's gone completely. Can't see normality returning for some time.

Vaccines 12 to 18 months away. Anyway its not important anymore with the potential loss of life.

We often shy away from hard facts on here but these comments are interesting and unfortunately hard to argue with, bearing in mind that in the wider scheme of things football might be the least of our troubles. It is heartening to see how Irish people are stepping up to the plate and let's wish everyone well, GAA and non-GAA folk alike, everywhere. Our backs are to the wall and it is only having heard Varadkar tonight that it has hit home with me personally that the world will now be a somewhat different place, even in the long term, well into the long term! I always believed that this forum helped bridge that social gap created by globalisation forces, just a pity we never organised it to put faces to names by meeting up at games. I am on a number of forums for various interests and simplistic as it sounds, there is a magic to knowing who you are communicating with - and it eliminates a bit of auld nonsense too! Anyway I hope for the best for my fellow forum members and with the help of the Man above we will still be here arguing the toss. John B Keane used to say He was a Kerryman and with a few right hardy GAA bucks by his side, hopefully whispering sweet-somethings into his ear, we will prevail.

Michael Carton, Dublin hurler aged 35 has covid 19. He did great service is telling social media about his experience. He has a lung infection and is in hospital now. This is instructive to other GAA players. He is a fire man. Get well soon Michael

Update here on where things are at currently from the County Bouard. Sensible stuff on saying that when action resumes there won't be an immediate rush back into action and the bit about a round of league action taking place makes a lot of sense.

These are extrordinary times,hopefully it wont be for too long and when it resumes it will ve sensible push the whole thing out and not try to shoehorn a load of games into a small amount of time.

Ps eir sport are playing all ireland gold non stop yet to see a kerry victory on it ! Whays that about grr!!!

All the best All Irelands for neutrals are when Kerry lose finals In fairness though the most entertaining one we have won in last 20 years was the galway one in 2000 the rest were either blowouts 04,06,07 or dogfights 09 and 14.

Unfortunately these weren't Kerry's best days, but the '02 final against Armagh, and the '05 final against Tyrone are on the Official GAA YouTube channel in full if you're bored.
