IT’S BEEN A day of significant change in Gaelic football, a new All-Ireland football championship format to be introduced from 2018 for a three-year period.

But there’s been a heated reaction from current and former inter-county players. They’re not happy with the news from today’s GAA Congress at Croke Park.

    Great to see Robbie in form, in a decent league pre Euros… But let’s hope trap is paying attention to the fine performances of ciaran Clarke too!

    Ciaran Clark has to go to the Euros. He will be important in the WC 2014 qualifiers and a good player for us for years to come hopefully. His goal in the cup a few weeks ago was class.

    Keane is getting some great confidence boosters here. Hopefully this can continue to the summer. But defender and goalkeeper need to up the game. (oshea and given).

    Keane is on fire two absolutely top drawer goals and was Scholes like playing in front of mid field.

    I think an important question to ask is why Robbie Keane joined LA Galaxy if he still can play at a decent level if not the premiere league then surely the championship is better quality then the MLS…
