Tubber would be the priority over Brosna Gaels, which is probably fair enough. Doesn't look like there was any chance of him featuring yesterday.

Tubber is obviously out on its own with regards to the parish rule and only play with Brosna Gaels as permission players. They can technically withdraw and become free agents to hurl for whoever they'd like. There's probably Shirley and 1/2 others that'd be a big help to Clara or whoever else if they went in with them. I don't believe Tubber have signalled any intent to do this at this point, only saying what is hypothetically possible.

Declared himself fit to play for 15mins with a wrist injury, how does that work , fair enough if a muscle injury but with a wrist injury your either good to go or not in my opnion.

Couldnt see tubber withdrawing because of one persons ego

A 42% (if my maths are correct!) decrease is pretty substantial.

1. Match broadcast on TG4. People able to watch from the comfort of their homes for free.
2. Shite weather early in the day.
3. Objectively less intrigue for the casual, KK going for 3 in a row this year.

Not that surprising, with all that told.

They didn't bring him on in his usual midfield position from what I gather, which would speak to the wrist injury.

I think you're verging in to disparaging remarks about a young player now, and it's a bit inappropriate. The Gaels won the title, that should be the focus on the back of the game.

One wonders if in taking TG4’s thirty pieces of silver, they’ve actually wound up losing more than they gained.

If you chose not to televise the game, you could’ve held it at 3 or 3:30, held a game before it and the weather wouldn’t have been as bad which would’ve boosted the attendance by a thousand or two.

It felt like a damp squib with the 1pm start and no curtain raiser. Being in the car on the way home by 2:30 doesn’t feel like a county final day at all.

And to those saying that the co. Board took TG4’s money, I’d actually imagine they may have made more off of Clubber.
Jarlath Burns and the suits have been critical of county boards lately for refusing to have games shown on TG4 as they want to cash in on their streaming services.
I’d imagine Limerick Co. board was approached to show Na Piarsaigh/Doon today but declined.
Although they also had their premier intermediate final before, which is a valid excuse they could have given for not wanting to move to the early window.
