Anyone else sick of playing Sunday 3pm League Games?

I don't know about anyone else, but I'm sick already of playing League games at 3pm on Sunday.

Today for instance we have Down v Monaghan at 2pm in Ulster, won't see a minute of it. Cork v Tipp in the Munster hurling, won't catch it either.

Few weeks ago we had Armagh v Tyrone, Cork v Kerry. Didnt see either.

Kildare ladies are playing today at 3pm in Hawkfield also. What is wrong with 6pm on a Saturday or a Sunday evening i'd like to ask.

Not only that the gate receipts clubs are going to get is likely to be effected. I do wonder sometimes about the decision makers in the GAA.

I know there are sometimes whatever decision you make won't please everyone but surely I'm not alone on this?!?

Fionn it was Round 11 this week. Round 12 on Wed 4/7 Round 13-15 on Sun 8/7 22/7 & 29/7. So you've only 3 more Sun. And then the league is finished. Then we'll have people complaining that they've no matches if Kildare are going strong.

With a bit of luck BFB round 14 will be moved to the 21st to accomodate people going to spport Kildare minors and seniors in the Leinster Final!!

can understand it if the juniors or minors were playing on saturday but it is getting ridiculous fixing them for times slap bang in the middle of when there is football and hurling on tv that most people would love to be looking at, it also means less people going to the league matches when you fix them for the same time as thhe sunday game.
most players like them to be on a sat evening and then you have your sunday to whatr you want.

True topcat. Only going from the original fixture list.... Yes hopefully we'll have two leinster finals to look forward to on the 21st....

Club managers are prob happier with the game on the sunday, means less likelyhood of lads being on the beer

It's the bloody Gaelic Athletic Association. Not the Gaelic Temperance Association.

How do you make that out?

Surely if games were on a Saturday lads would go out on the beer after the match and not the night before a match.

Now they wont go out at all!

What?

Another round of SFL games fixed for tomorrow with absolutely nothing going on today! Two good games on the telly that will be missed, what a joke!

Agreed, its a joke.

And it obviously means lads can't have a social life over the weekend. Would clubs not just rearrange them of their own volition? Are they allowed?

I presume they are allowed, we have had a few games switched to Friday evenings and Saturdays but both teams must agree AFAIK.
