"GAA insistent on having its busiest fixture list during the worst months of the year for weather with no contingency plans!! "Players all over the country having to rearrange work, personal lives etc. again. This game called off at 12.26 today!!'https://twitter.com/SportsJOE_GAA/status/962711086293307392 The Offaly footballers had travelled all the way up to Derry, either on Saturday night, or late on Sunday morning, only to find out the game would have to be postponed just 94 minutes before the ball was supposed to be thrown in. One wonders whether this decision could have been made earlier, particularly given the harsh weather was forecast. Offaly player Nigel Dunne wanted to "to rant about how ridiculous that was," but claimed the whole situation had him "too tired..to cranky!!" More problems have arisen with the re-fixtures. With the Sigerson Cup final set to take place on Saturday, a host of players are facing the possibility of two games in two days. Should their colleges progress of course.
